Embracing New Horizons: Growing Your Business in Harmony With Nature

Gilles Galliou, CEO, Envu

As someone who has long appreciated the dedication and expertise landscapers bring to nurturing the outdoor spaces our communities enjoy, I’ve been reflecting on the evolving role of the lawn care professional. It’s no longer solely about manicured lawns — it’s increasingly about creating a healthy, enjoyable and safe environment.

We understand the ecological complexities and day-to-day challenges you face and the need for innovation that accounts for that. Envu is committed to supporting you in that endeavor while helping you grow your business.

A Growing Opportunity

Homeowners continue to prioritize their outdoor living spaces, but this enjoyment is often compromised by mosquitoes, which pose nuisance and health risks through diseases like West Nile virus, Zika and eastern equine encephalitis. Homeowners are concerned about mosquitoes and want to take back their backyards.

As lawn care professionals, you’re uniquely positioned to meet this demand. You already:

  • Regularly visit customers’ properties
  • Understand their landscapes and needs
  • Identify standing water (potential mosquito breeding grounds) as part of routine service

New Horizons for Business Expansion

As the forces of nature evolve, your need for innovation is accelerating faster, and it will take a new vision in order to deliver. We have to open the floodgates to new possibilities and prioritize the best solutions no matter where they come from. Our recent acquisitions of FMC’s Global Specialty Solutions business and In2Care are a testament to this commitment. Products like Scion® insecticide and Talstar® insecticide can work alongside eco-friendly innovations like the In2Care® Mosquito Station or our newest product, Barricor® Essential Mosquito Control — an effective product to control mosquitoes while safe for bees and butterflies.

The combination unlocks more solutions, creating a path for potentially significant growth of your business. By integrating mosquito management, you become more valuable to your customers while creating new revenue opportunities:

  • Increased service value: Provide more comprehensive outdoor solutions
  • Enhanced customer retention: Become indispensable by addressing a critical need
  • Market differentiation: Stand out from competitive lawn care providers
  • Extended service season: Maintain revenue beyond peak lawn growing periods

Ultimately, your important role is about more than just maintaining appearances — it’s about fostering healthy and safe outdoor experiences. Mosquitoes are serious threats as vectors of diseases and can restrict the way we live our lives. By embracing the opportunity to become skilled in mosquito management, you’re contributing to the well-being of your communities. You are, in essence, becoming an even stronger force in nurturing the harmony between people and nature in the spaces you care for.

Our team of entomologists and agronomists are committed to serving as trusted advisors, working alongside you to push your business forward. As the only company solely dedicated to environmental science, they’re focused on tailoring solutions that fit your needs. Through collaboration, we can thrive in a world where outdoor spaces can be enjoyed to their fullest. Together, we can be a force with nature.

Sincerely,
Gilles Galliou
