Did you know that spraying those pesky lady bugs with pesticide spray can have a potentially harmful effect to your health? The United States Environmental Protection Agency states, "pesticides emit pollutants such as hazardous air pollutan...ts (HAPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). These pollutants can contribute to health problems that may affect residents, the neighborhood, and the community" (2011).

This can lead to the following side effects:
*headaches *dizziness *nausea & vomiting *rash *weakness
as well as many others...

If you are planning on using bug spray near your home, be sure to take extra precaution such as wearing gloves, mask, ventilation, using non chemical means, and cleaning pets.

Construction continues

Road construction continues...making great progress!

The paved road

Preparation for the paved road has begun!

The American Asphalt crew is working hard to prepare the road to become paved over the next few days.

We are thankful for this opportunity to make access to our facility easier and more convenient. 

Service at our facility will continue during this time.  We recommend taking the next road after Pray Ave to the right; Pelsdorf Rd and then turning right onto Maple until our facility.

 

Continue to check our blog for updates on road conditions!

It was a great day for a parade on Sunday in Granton, Wisconsin.  PMSC attended Granton's Fall Festival Parade; great weather, great crowd and great food.  We look forward to next year!

Thanks Granton

It's back to school! As schools in our community welcome students back this week, we would like to take a minute to remind you about germs. As kids are in close contact with each other in school, they are at high risk for infection
... *Did you know:
*Influenza virus can live on hard surfaces for 2- 8 hours?
*Pertussis (whooping cough), can live on hard surfaces for several days?

The best way to help prevent infections is to practice good hand washing, covering your cough and staying home if you feel sick. Vaccination can also help reduce the risk of spreading disease to others.
If you or your child becomes sick, please feel free to contact our office with any questions or concerns. Our office is often able to schedule appointments quickly and conveniently to meet your needs.
