Discovering a pest problem is threatening a homeowner's property, family's health and even just their peace of mind can be a major annoyance. Plants, insects, mold, mildew, rodents, bacteria, and other organisms are a natural part of the environment. We use a program called Integrated Pest Management (also known as IPM). Integrated Pest Management is an approach to pest control that offers a means to reduce the risk from and in some cases, the amount of chemical pesticides needed. It is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common sense practices.
