At Dodson Pest Control, we recognize that each pest situation is unique. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system provides a comprehensive view of your specific pest issues, allowing us to develop targeted solutions that are both effective and environmentally responsible.
Core Principles of IPM
We built our IPM upon the foundational principles endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency:
- Acceptable Pest Levels: While eradication is ideal, complete elimination may not be feasible in specific scenarios. In such cases, we control pest populations to acceptable levels, ensuring they remain outside critical areas like your home or business.
- Monitoring: Regular observation is crucial. A thorough understanding of pest behaviors, habits, and reproductive cycles enables us to devise effective control and prevention strategies.
- Mechanical Controls: We prioritize non-chemical methods, including barriers, traps, and vacuuming, to manage pest populations.
Responsible Use: Pesticides are applied judiciously, only when necessary, and in targeted applications to minimize environmental impact.
