Safe and Sustainable Pest Control: We focus on controlling pests while reducing the need for chemicals, prioritizing the safety of your family, pets, and the environment
What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?
IPM is a comprehensive pest control approach that:
Prioritizes Non-Chemical Methods: Such as habitat modification and biological controls.
Uses Chemical Treatments Responsibly: Only when necessary and in a targeted manner.
Focuses on Long-Term Solutions: Rather than short-term fixes.
IPM STRATGIES:
Identify Pests
Targeted Pest Control Through Knowledge: We leverage our understanding of pest biology—life cycles, habitats, and food sources—to pinpoint pest activity and develop targeted control strategies.
Monitor
Early Detection for Effective Pest Control: Monitor for pest activity by checking for droppings, damage, and live pests. Early detection allows for prompt action and prevents costly infestations.
Create a Plan
Your Personalized Pest Control Solution: We partner with you to develop a custom plan, tailored to your specific needs, that effectively reduces pests' access to food, water, and shelter.
Implement
Integrated Pest Management Techniques: We utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, implementing a combination of techniques, including physical barriers, traps, and baits, to achieve sustainable pest control.
Adjust
Flexible and Responsive Pest Management: Our approach is flexible and responsive. We continuously monitor and adjust our plans and implementation to adapt to changing pest activity and ensure effectiveness.
IPM at home:
Garbage
Take out garbage regularly- Don't allow it to sit for extended periods of time.
Vaccum
Picks up pests, and food sources (crumbs)
Clean up food/spills
Pests need food and water to survive
Inspect items
Inspect your luggage, boxes, and grocery bags before bringing them in the home.
IPM Business
Break Rooms
Employees can bring in pests on their personal items. Most employees store their lunches in these areas giving pests a consistent food source.
Doors
Most pests enter the business through open doors, keep doors closed when not in immediate use.
Garbage
Empty interior garbage cans nightly. Outside garbage areas should be clean, with lids closed, not allowing them to overflow.
Drains
Often get overlooked allowing debris to build up, bleach alone is not a good drain cleaner.
