Many pests that find their way into your business or home can spread disease or cause damage to your house or structures on your property. While you may have been successful in eliminating pests from your environment, it is important to maintain that pest control, especially where food is stored, prepared, or eaten. Maintaining pest prevention is part of integrated pest management, or IPM, and it is vital if you want to keep your environment pest free.
It really does not take much for a pest situation to spiral out of control. Since many household pests like rats, mice, and roaches are typically nocturnal, you aren’t likely to see them much, if at all. They will scurry through your home or office while you are sleeping or away. By the time you see them you have a serious situation. If it isn’t an infestation at that point it soon will be.
IPM assesses the types of pests that you are dealing with and uses that information to create a customized plan to control those pests using a comprehensive approach that utilizes a combination of methods to eliminate or reduce the pest population. This is done while maintaining a quality, healthy environment for the inhabitants and less suited to the pest population and its growth and development. Pesticides may be used as well as methods intended to make the environment unappealing or uninhabitable for the pests.
In other words, the pest professional who uses IPM will come in, assess your pest problem and determine the best course of action to help you get rid of that problem. They will use a variety of means to get rid of the pests and help you make your home or office a place where pests don’t want to be. They will also show you how to restrict access so that the pests cannot enter your building.
It is important to keep pests out of your home or office – or anywhere that humans live and especially eat. Roaches, rats, and mice, among others, carry diseases that can make you very ill. Mice carry Hantavirus which can be fatal. Rats and mice can also bring fleas into your home, even if you don’t’ have pets. A flea infestation can be difficult and costly to manage.
Termites, carpenter ants, and carpenter bees can do a great deal of damage to structures. This damage can end up costing you thousands of dollars. However, preventative pest maintenance can help you ward off these potential costly infestations by alerting you in the early stages, before it gets out of control.
