We
have located products that allow us to service buildings during construction,
an existing building for prevention and an infested building for mold
and for wood destroying insects. We can do this in most instances
without removing the occupants from the building. I am able to provide
control for multiple chemically sensitive households with normally
once a year service. |

|
|
What
is your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |
|
Integrated
pest management is the use of non-chemical, non-polluting, long-lasting,
non-toxic, preferably natural products that can maintain control of
insects as well as mold in a building. |
|
Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |
|
With
my services, it is not necessary to maintain a schedule, other than
possibly each spring. We take care of requests at the time of need. |
|
|
|
|
How are pest problems identified? |
|
I
do not think it is necessary to schedule unneeded trips to a client,
they should be able to recognize as need. |
|
|
|
|
What practices
do you use to prevent and/or control pests? |
|
I
use biological as well as least-toxic management techniques. |
|
Do you
use biological controls? |
|
Natural
cleaner for caterpillars. |
|
Yes.
I use boric acid in wall voids and under eaves outside, as well as
in crawl spaces; Cedar oil added to borate is excellent for control
of wasps. |
|
|
|
|
Do you
use synthetic chemicals? |
|
What
are the top 10 pesticides you use/sell/recommend? |
|
If pesticides are used, how much are used per year of each? |
|
Does
your company perform habitat modification? |
|
Cedar
chips are excellent barriers at the base of a building to repel insects. |
|
|
|
|
Do you
use any physical or mechanical controls? |
|
What
type of fertilizers do you use/sell/recommend? |
|
What
do you usually use/sell/recommend for addressing: |
|
termites |
borates,
diatomaceous earth |
|
cockroaches |
borates,
diatomaceous earth |
|
fleas |
nematodes,

How do
you evaluate effectiveness of your pest management |
|
I
evaluate my effectiveness in that I am evolving a new home treatment
for prevention. |
