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:

  1. The inconsistency of personnel licensing and qualifications.

  2. Increased cost involved with varying techniques.

  3. 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 (IPMS) is an owner operated company where you can always speak to the person in charge. IPMS has years of experience in the pest industry and is fully licensed and insured. The company is full service and can handle all of your pest management needs.

Integrated Pest Management Services Operating Principles

  1. After a thorough inspection, exclusion is always considered as the first option.

  2. Conducive conditions are identified and defined to the customer.

  3. Solutions are outlined and proposed.

  4. Customer safety and impact on the environment are always considered before a chemical application.

  5. 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.
