Pest Control & Prevention
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Quick Definition
Holistic, low-toxicity approach to pest control that emphasizes prevention and targeted treatments over chemical spraying
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a comprehensive approach to pest control that combines prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatments to manage pests while minimizing risks to human health and the environment.
What You Need to Know
IPM reduces pesticide use by 50-90% compared to traditional pest control while being more effective long-term. It focuses on eliminating pest food sources, entry points, and breeding sites rather than just killing visible pests.
Why It Matters for Your Home
Traditional pest control can expose your family to harmful chemicals. IPM protects children and pets while addressing the root causes of pest problems, preventing future infestations more effectively.
How IPM Works
IPM starts with inspection to identify pest types and entry points. Prevention includes sealing cracks, removing food sources, and eliminating moisture. Targeted treatments use the least toxic methods effective for specific pests.
When to Get Professional Help
IPM-certified professionals can develop customized plans for your home's specific pest challenges while prioritizing your family's health and safety over quick chemical fixes.
