Our Methods & Approach
Animals and insects are an important part of our environment. However, at times, they can become destructive, damaging landscaped areas, homes and other structures. The burrowing of field rodents such as gophers and ground squirrels can contribute to erosion, slope failure, and water loss.
Additionally, animals often carry or vector diseases such as bubonic plague, murine typhus, rabies, hystoplasmosis, salmonella (food poisoning), Rocky Mountain spotted fever and others.
Our company has evolved into distinct divisions that specialize in the following areas: rodents, termites, birds, plant healthcare and general pests (including bees, wasps, insects and wildlife invaders).
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT APPROACH
We subscribe to an INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT APPROACH (IPM) which is a comprehensive system of pest management that prioritizes sanitation and habitat modification to prevent the breeding activities of pests.
