Antimite utilizes the integrated
pest management (IPM) approach to pest control. This means we don’t just jump in with pesticides; we examine
the “big picture” and consider all aspects of a problem to ensure maximum control with the greatest safety
and efficiency.
IPM is a multi-layer approach which can include:
- Inspection and identification
- Sanitation, which requires customer cooperation
- Exclusion
- Monitoring
- Trapping
- Insect Growth Regulators (These products prohibit insects
- from reaching sexual maturity, inhibiting reproduction.)
- Pesticides
Education and Preventative Steps We can show you numerous ways to keep
pests from disrupting your home, including:
Keeping them homeless
- Seal cracks and crevices where pests can get into your home.
- Get rid of stacks of newspaper, papers, bags, and cardboard boxes
that make good homes for pests.
Keeping
them hungry
- Keep a tight
lid on trash cans and empty them often.
- Store
food in tightly sealed containers.
- Wipe
up spills and crumbs right away.
- Clean
your dirty dishes right after eating.
- Pests
thrive on moisture. Keep them from getting to water by fixing leaks and not leaving dishwater in the sink overnight.
Boundary and Perimeter Treatments We apply a long lasting
residual insecticide to the exterior of your home. We can also apply a long lasting residual insecticide to your yard - the
long lasting insecticides we use for boundary treatments are used in playgrounds. Exterior Perimeter Treatments A premium residual insecticide is applied concentrating
on the entry points for insects into your home. Interior
Treatments Interior areas are inspected and treated specifically for the pests present in your home. A combination
of residualinsecticides, baits and traps may be used based on your concerns and particular pests. Roaches and Other Insects After inspecting and analyzing your
situation, we will advise you on household routines that will minimize infestation. In addition, our specialists offer treatments
that may include the following:
- Crack and Crevice Pesticide
Placement - Products are placed carefully only in areas where the insects live and breed such as dark, enclosed areas within
walls and under cabinets. Our process assures that will be minimal exposure to children, food, or pets.
- Direct Contact - Products are directly applied to the pests.
- Insect Growth Regulators - These products duplicate the insect's natural hormones to disrupt
their natural growth and development.
Rodent
Control After a thorough inspection to determine which species we're dealing with, we'll create an
effective program to keep your home rodent-free.
Termite Control and Annual Inspection We
thoroughly inspect your home or business, looking for the tell-tale signs of termite infestation. Learn more about our approach, and our annual control agreement.
Stinging Insect Control Besides
being a nuisance, bees and wasps present a danger because of their painful and potentially harmful stings. We offer you very
effective control measures.
Ongoing Maintenance Season after season, your home will be exposed
to different types of pests -- roaches, ants, spiders, birds, and rodents will all be trying to make a home in yours. To make
sure the pests you’ve so carefully eliminated don’t return, you can contract for continuing regular pest control
services.
