Integrated Pest Management or (IPM) includes the inspection and identification of any issue that contributes to or may contribute to pest infestation. Not only are materials applied to eradicate pests, but exclusion techniques and other mechanical measures are employed to aid in effective control.
IPM focuses on three key pest eradication techniques
IPM bases its pest control recommendations on your unique needs. Our pest control professionals do not use a "one size fits all" approach. Whether sealing cracks, removing a food or water source or, when necessary, employing pesticide treatments, integrated pest management is about using best practice application methods to control pest problems.
Scientific Integrated Pest Management Solutions. Here is how it works:
Integrated Pest Management
We evaluate the true extent of the infestation and customize a treatment plan for your specific needs. Random application of pesticides is avoided to better protect your family.
Non-Chemical Monitors
We place pest monitors when necessary in pest prone locations throughout your home to help pinpoint the "hot spots" of pest activity for the most effective pest control.
Carefully Targeted Application
We emphasize thorough inspections. Since a responsible pest management program can't be developed without determining exactly what and where the pest problem is, we inspect the homes for pest problems and reach them at the source of their nests.
Prevention Measures
We apply a protective barrier to the outside of your home to keep out pest invaders. And our Pest Management Inspection Report helps you protect your home by pointing out any conditions that could lead to infestation. Compass Pest Management’s goal is to solve your pest problem while minimizing the amount of pesticides placed in and around your home.
