Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a strategy – not a treatment. IPM focuses on long-term prevention of pests or the damage they cause by managing the ecosystem and the area – rather than managing the pest. It’s based on scientific research and evidence and is backed by our Board Certified Entomologists. The most important part of an Integrated Pest Management plan is the one custom-created for your business. Some pests may overlap from industry to industry, but should bed bug treatments be part of a food processing facility’s pest plan? And should a small boutique store be using remote pest monitors? The pest control plan for your business should be chosen carefully based on your pest pressures, your industry, and your specific needs.
