Do you have an on-going problem that continues to escape the control efforts of your service provide? Or have you suddenly found yourself overrun by a pest problem so quickly that you haven’t even had a chance to find a pest control company to resolve the problem?
Problems such as these are all too common frustrations for property managers, general managers, administrators, facility directors, and landlords. This frustration often leads to the hiring of a new pest control company. Hiring a new company sometimes resolves this issue, but often times it doesn’t. This pattern then becomes a regular cycle. Or alternatively, people panic and don’t take the time to choose their pest control company more carefully.
One of the problems is that many companies send salespeople to access the situation and suggest remedies. Salespeople are there to win you over and many are ready to say whatever it takes. Most of them have a limited understanding of insects and pest management experience. If a service technician is sent, you often find yourself in a similar situation since almost all pest control technicians are paid on commission. Wages in the industry being minimum, the technician wants the sale just as much as salespeople and will tell you they are the best solution even if their company doesn’t offer the correct solution for your situation.
We provide on-site investigations of difficult pest problems, and then develop a pest management solution and program for you. If you don’t currently have a pest control company or are looking for a new one, we will then help you select the perfect team to execute the project. With the information we provide, we can enable everyone to make better decisions which will save time and money.
Sometimes for large pest management and IPM projects, it helps to have someone overseeing the project to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. For example, Bed Bugs in multi-family apartments, flies in hospitals, or rodents in city buildings and subway systems are situations that would warrant such a service.
Reviewed current pest control practices and efficacy with recommendations for improvement;
Analysed sanitation conditions and pest-related problems such as fruit flies, cockroaches, rodents and drain flies, with an image data base by facility showing the results of the initial inspection. Developed a program complying with company and health standards that ensured proper cleaning, on time, with concise reports to management;
Client staff training in pest management issues as it related to their specific facility and job.
Developed a facility maintenance program relating to pest management that was designed to assure that pest related maintenance tasks were identified, properly scheduled and completed in a timely manner with results reporting to management;
Developed an historical trend model for insects and rodents that allowed both predictability of population levels by specific area and the ability to spot trends in population levels so that pre-emptive actions could be taken. This allowed the facility to be proactive rather than reactive.
Developed the methodology to provide corporate management with a bi-annual analysis of multi facility sanitation, maintenance and pest management. The reports included multiple images from each facility showing current conditions with descriptions and suggestions for improvement. Management was able to view, at their office, both current and past images for comparison and use these to judge where additional actions were necessary.

(Note: IPM can be controversial at times, because different people have differing views on what IPM is...and what it isn't. To some, IPM is all about controlling pests without any pesticides at all. To others, it is about using "safer" pesticides, such as baits. Most IPM professionals fall somewhere in the middle).
IPM is more complex than traditional pest control. It requires a different mind-set on the part of technicians, as well as special training and supplies, institutional coordination, and detailed records and reports. IPM programs require knowledgeable professionals to design them properly and to oversee them to ensure they remain on-track. Here are some examples of IPM services we provide:
