Integrated Pest Management Provides
a “Green” Approach to Pest Control
Exact Pest Solutions utilizes Integrated Pest Management (IPM), an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest control. IPM is a proactive system for preventing and controlling pests primarily through the use of non-chemical methods, and only chemical methods when absolutely necessary.
IPM emphasizes the prevention of pests from accessing buildings through the following:
- Maintaining clean and orderly buildings
- Ensuring that buildings are in good repair
- Identifying cracks or crevices where pests can get in
- Eliminating or minimizing available sources of food, water and shelter for pests
- Applying insecticides to the outside of buildings to act as a barrier to pests
Exact Pest Solutions’ staff continually researches the most current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with the latest pest control methods, is used to manage pests with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. It is also used to prevent pest problems before they develop. We will always aim for exclusion, rather than just spraying chemicals inside your home or business.
Exact Pest Solutions’ goal is to prevent and manage pests for the long-term, with minimal disruption to your home or business and the least impact on the environment and non-target organisms.
