Good for Tishman Speyer, practicing Integrated Pest Management at Stuyvesant. Let's hope it works and that it catches on! (The best in the field is Battery Park City's Tessa Huxley, who manages all of the parks and gardens AND BALL FIELDS organically.)
Excellent choice!
Now if Tishman could exterminate the basement areas, compactor rooms and laundry rooms and control the massive roach infestation, that would be great! I strongly suggest geckos.
A stronger rat remediation program on the grounds would be appreciated also.

Wow, where do you go to buy 720,000 ladybugs?
