techniques, centering on the concept of Integrated Pest Management

What
is your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |
|
IPM is a strategy
of keeping pest population levels below predetermined thresholds
through biological, cultural, and physical means, utilizing
the least toxic chemical methods as well. |
|
Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |
|
90% of our
residential service is performed as an on-call basis. We offer a
maintenance program that gives the customer three exterior
perimeter inspections and applications, and unlimited interior applications
upon request. |
|
How
are pest problems identified? |
|
Pest problems
are identified by our trained and licensed applicators. If there
are insects that cannot be identified in the field, they are brought
in-house and identified by our on staff Board Certified Entomologist. |
|
What practices
do you use to prevent and/or control pests? |
|
We use monitors,
mechanical traps, exclusion, education and pesticides whenever necessary
to prevent or control pests. We use insect
growth regulators to control developing stages of various insects. |

many borate-based products for the control of wood-boring beetles
and crawling insects. |

Does
your company perform habitat modification? |
|
Yes. Primarily through
exclusion. We use wire, copper mesh, and insulating foam. We offer
suggestions to customers on a larger scale, but
do not participate in the work if it involves the skills of trained
artisans such as masons or carpenters. |
|

use any physical or mechanical controls? |

and mechanical controls. For example, snap traps, live catch traps,
glue boards, screens, caulk and foam. |
