It all started in 1991, when a group of students from the Department of Entomology at UP Los Baños decided to try their hands at entrepreneurship. And what better field to try their luck other than the pest control business where they would get to work with a lot of …. INSECTS. With their enthusiasm and sheer determination, thus the Entomological Services Company (ESC) was conceived, and in 1993 it was registered as Entomological and General Services Corp. (EGSCORP).
With their knowledge about insect working for them, and an open mind to learn new ways of managing pests and satisfy their clients, the young company made an impression to the community of pest-conscious expatriates at AYALA ALABANG VILLAGE. Young as they were, the group however firmly believed that Pest Control or Pest Management is not just controlling pests, but it must also entail a social responsibility to consumer in particular and to the environment.
Thus, company’s Mission Statement was formulated to always remind them of these responsibilities:
“To provide alternative Pest Management Services utilizing scientific strategies, employing ecological principles with environmental preservation and human safety in mind.”
To follow this tenet, the group studied and practiced the principles of Integrated Pest Management or IPM. IPM utilizes scientific strategies that anticipates and prevents pest activity to achieve long-term solutions. It gives great emphasis on the non-chemical techniques of controlling pests such as sanitation, exclusion and proper waste disposal among other techniques. IPM also gives emphasis on the judicious and safe application of pesticides.
With their new alternative approach to pest control, many were encouraged to try the services of this upstart group to provide them of a healthy and productive environment. It triggered the chain reaction of satisfied clients, and by word of mouth, it soon became a member of many homes and families. That made it one of the most promising companies in the Pest Control industry.
In 1997, in order to satisfy a growing base of clientele, EGSCORP has expanded and reorganized. It was registered as Entom Pest Control and General Services Corporation.
With a reorganized and more quality-minded organization, ENTOM is continuously moving on to provide more QUALITY and RELIABLE services. |
