Integrated Pest Management
Professional pest control is performed with fully integrated pest management (IPM) programs. These treatment plans include much more than just applying pesticides to control spiders, earwigs, sow bugs, ants, fleas, ticks, roaches, mice and a long list of pests we call occasional invaders.
These integrated treatments include thorough inspections to identify conditions around your home or business that might create harborage, provide food or water, or even build a bridge into the structure. They include the use of pheromone lures and traps, monitoring stations, habitat modification, and even exclusion.
Insects and rodents can be more than annoying, they can also be destructive and dangerous as they contaminate food and can damage homes, furniture and insulation. They even transmit diseases such as West Nile virus from mosquitoes, Lyme disease from ticks, asthma and allergies from roaches, and a list too numerous to mention from mice, birds, and bats.
