Are there ways to prevent having the pests in the first place?
Prevention is always better than the cure. Along with the information on each pest profile, we include tips for prevention and control. Our easy to follow recommendations may help you to avoid or minimize pest problems.
Pests seek habitats that provide their essential needs for survival, such as food, water, and shelter. By removing some of these basic elements, or by blocking access to them, one can impose a significant degree of control over pests well before chemical pesticides need to be considered.
Take some simple preventative measures:
- Pests are usually looking for food. Keeping your kitchen and eating areas clean gives pests one less reason to raid your home;
- Store all trash in bins with a lid and remove trash on a regular basis;
- Ensure that your screened doors and windows are in good repair;
- Keep branches and foliage trimmed and away from the house. Very often pests enter the home from plants, trees and shrubs;
- Repair siding, exterior trim and decks at the first sign of deterioration' and
- Regular cleaning, sweeping, vacuuming and dusting doesn't necessarily detract pests from coming into your home, but it does train your eye to look for potential problems in the dark corners of your house.
How do I identify the type of pest I have?
We have hundreds of color photos and insect identification guides to help you determine which pest you have, But don't worry. If you get stumped, you are only a phone call or email away from one of our many experienced professionals. They really know their bugs!
I have young children/pets, how can I safely treat for pests in my home?
Having small children and/or pets may impact what chemical you choose or the way you apply it. Generally one should keep children and pets off the treated areas until the sprays have dried or the dusts have settled, but one should always read and follow the directions of the actual product for complete warnings and precautionary information.

What is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?
IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties
IPM is a combination of common sense and scientific principles. It's a way of thinking about pest management that values:
- Using the least toxic methods first, up to and including pesticides
- Monitoring the pest's activity and adjusting methods over time
- Tolerating harmless pests, and
- Setting a threshold to decide when it's time to act
