UTILIZING CHEMICAL AND NON CHEMICAL
METHODS FOR THE INTELLIGENT SOLUTION
What is IPM
If you have had contact
with anyone in the pest industry in the past several
years, you have probably heard the buzz words "Integrated Pest Management."
What is it? How does it differ from the style of pest
control that you have become accustomed to over the
years? You need to know the answers to these questions,
when choosing a pest professional.
Simply put, Integrated
Pest Management (IPM) is a method of pest management,
applying the safest and most effective means, to provide
an environment free of pests. Some of the more utilized
methods are chemical, exclusionary, sanitation, moisture
control and more recently biological.
Utilizing a
professional pest operative requires a partnership
between the customer and the professional, to bring
about the optimal results.
The
differences between IPM and conventional pest control
are striking. Conventional pest control is limited in
its approach for various reasons. The primary limitation
is the inability to be flexible with treatment methods
and techniques. There are three basic reasons for this:
The
inconsistency of personnel licensing and
qualifications.
Increased cost involved with varying techniques.
Training and experience.
In order to deliver IPM
effectively the pest operative must be appropriately
licensed in the major categories of structural pest
control. What sense does it make to have someone perform
a service on your home for carpenter ants, yet have no
qualifications for termites and other harmful pests that
may be present. The reality is, "your
service is only as good as the person performing it".
Some of the most effective methods of pest management do
not involve chemical application. The primary method in
this category is exclusion. This process requires a
certain degree of maintenance skill. It is useful in
controlling mice, bats, squirrels and many insects.
Harborage and sanitation are conditions that require
customer involvement and participation. These issues
should be identified by the pest professional with
solutions proposed for correction.

Integrated Pest
Management Services Operating Principles
After a thorough
inspection, exclusion is always considered as the
first option.
Conducive conditions
are identified and defined to the customer.
Solutions are
outlined and proposed.
Customer safety and
impact on the environment are always considered
before a chemical application.
If the problem is not
resolved to the customer's satisfaction, Integrated
will refund the customers last payment.
A key aspect of IPMS is
performing preventative maintenance tasks. Pruning
branches and foliage away from a structure, sealing
obvious routes of entry and resolving moisture issues,
aid greatly in deterring pests. Some tasks performed
are, maintaining gutters & down-spouts, installing
leaf-guards and weather stripping entry ways.
