The Pest Post

People often ask us what “IPM” (Integrated Pest Management) is, and why they should consider it.

At A1, we are very cognizant of the environment, and the effect that pest control services has on it.  IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common sense practices.
IPM is a process involving common sense and sound solutions for treating and controlling pests. These solutions incorporate three basic steps: 1) inspection, 2) identification and 3) treatment.  Treatment options vary from sealing cracks and removing food and water sources to pesticide treatments when necessary.
Most importantly, IPM requires a partnership between you and your licensed pest professional. In working together, you can have the peace of mind that your family and home will be protected against pest-related health and property threats.
When it comes to IPM, there are very few “standard operating protocols.” Instead, your pest professional will assess YOUR unique situation to develop a comprehensive cure to your pest problem. Ask your pest control professional if they practice IPM.

IPM programs use current information on the life cycles of the various pests for which we treat, and their impact, effect, and interaction with the environment.  This information, in combination with the available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means with the least possible hazards to people, property, and the environment.
