Controlling Pests with an Integrated Pest Management Program

It is very important to control pests. If not controlled at the right time, then it becomes a menace. Here we have discussed about the steps that are mainly followed for effective pest management.

Inspecting on a regular basis

Companies that offer integrated pest management programs usually inspect the areas that are prone to pests. They do this on a regular basis. They keep a close watch on the places where pests are likely to appear and identify the entry points from where the pests may come in.

Taking preventing measures
This is one of the most important steps. So the companies do everything possible to prevent the pests from coming in. They close all the entry points, which they found out during the inspection process and suggest people who hire them not to keep surfaces with food particles spilled over and so on.

Identifying the right species
Since different pests have different behaviors and treatment, it becomes essential for the pest management companies to identify the species and then start with the treatment. So, make sure the professional you choose has undergone a rigorous training in pest identification.

Finding out the reason for pest infestation
Once the right species are identified, the professionals start finding out the reasons for their infestation-whether there is any food debris, cracks on the wall or floors and such others.

Selecting the right treatment method
Integrated pest management companies always stress on non-chemical control methods like trapping, exclusion and so on. Only if they find that their methods are not working, they use chemicals in least volatile formulations for treating the pest.

Constantly monitoring the facility
Pest management is a continuous process and so it needs to be monitored frequently for any kind of pest activity. The professionals usually visit the facility once or twice a week after the treatment process is over in order to check if there is more infestation.
