Although animals and pests are an important part of our environment and the Orange County ecosystem, they can cause problems for you and your home. They can be destructive, damaging to your home, and a hazard to the health and safety of your family and pets. For this reason, pest control is a vital part of maintaining your home.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an approach to pest control that identifies the pests you are having an issue with, evaluates any existing damage and the potential for future damage, conditions that may be attracting pests, consideration of any environmental factors, development of a pest management plan, implementation of this plan, and an ongoing monitoring and maintenance program to prevent the future recurrence of pest problems.
The Benefits of Routine Pest Control for your Home
Pest problems can be caught early, allowing treatment to start sooner. This saves you money in the long run, as full-blown infestations are much more expensive to treat than those caught early on. This also means the pests don’t have as much time to cause damage, reducing the costly repairs you might incur if the infestation was much larger. It also allows problem areas to be identified, not only for pest control but for the overall improvement of your home.
Areas with increased moisture, leaks, roof, and foundation damage, and openings around doors, windows, and utility pipes can be found and repaired sooner. These routine visits can also help keep those inside your home healthier.
Pests can transmit serious diseases to both humans and pets, can trigger allergies and asthma, and contaminate your food and other surfaces they come into contact with. By keeping these pests under control, you also help protect the health of your loved ones.
Your technician will know your home. If a problem arises between scheduled visits, they can quickly and easily identify and eliminate the problem.
