Progressive
Pest Management, Inc is a full service, 24 hour/day commercial and
industrial pest control company serving the New York Tri-State area.
We specialize in treating sensitive environments such as schools,
health care facilities, pharmaceutics, food processing and hospitality,
using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and customer education as our
primary tools. |
|
|
|
|
What
is your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |
|
Integrated Pest Management is the use of numerous control
methods (i.e. monitoring/record keeping, cultural, physical, mechanical,
educational and pesticides when necessary) to effectively reduce the
pest population to a low enough "injury level" they cause
little or no economic damage. |
|
Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |
|
Each
of our accounts is treated on a specific scheduled based on the client's
individual needs (daily through annually). Each service call, our
technicians check the logbooks for pest sighting or problems. They
inspect problem areas and advise the proper persons of needed repairs
or behavior modifications (i.e. drainage problems, keeping doors and
garbage dumpsters closed, etc.). Further, they inspect the scheduled
areas, treat if necessary and log inspection results and treatments
in the logbook and on the service ticket. Service tickets are returned
to the office and the results are recorded in the customer's file.
This file is used to assist the supervisors with their quarterly,
semi-annual and annual inspections. |
|
|
|
|
How are pest problems identified? |
|
Pest
problems are identified through the use of sighting logs that are
filled out by the customer, and by inspections which are done by our
service technicians during every scheduled service. |
|
|
|
|
What practices
do you use to prevent and/or control pests? |
|
We
stress the use of exclusion, the elimination of pest attractions and
the education of our customers as our first lines of defense to control
pests. |
|
Do you
use biological controls? |
|
We
do not at this time use any biological controls. Currently, we are
evaluating the benefits of utilizing nematodes to control ants and
flies. |
|
We
use Niban and Nibor-D. |
|
|
|
|
Do you
use synthetic chemicals? |
|
What
are the top 10 pesticides you use/sell/recommend? |
|
Our
most frequent-use pesticides are Niban, Nibor-D, Maxforce, Precor,
Ultracide, Avert and kicker. We do not sell and/or recommend any pest
control products. |
|
|
|
|
If pesticides are used, how much are used per year of each? |
|
Any
customer or potential customer may request a copy of our N.Y., N.J.
or P.A. pesticide use report. Pesticides are applied in strict accordance
with the label instructions. |
|
|
|
|
Does
your company perform habitat modification? |
|
Absolutely.By
addressing the inherent causes of pest or rodent infiltration in a
particular environment, we are able to successfully educate our clients
in modifying their surroundings to greatly reduce or eliminate the
problem. A recent example is the success that we had at N.Y. Congregational
Nursing Center wherer, through the use of habitat modification, we
were able to control a rodent problem within two months, when another
company tried unsuccessfully to control this problem with pesticides
for almost one year. |
|
|
|
|
Do you
use any physical or mechanical controls? |
|
Yes,
we use physical and mechanical controls such as Vector fly lights,
door sweeps, mesh screening, snap traps, netting, jar traps, live
catch traps and glue boards. |

you evaluate effectiveness of your pest management |

We
evaluate the effectiveness of our pest management system by carefully

of our monitoring devices and by the decreased use of pesticides/month
which are applied. |
