During the last few decades the pest management industry has had to make adjustments in the manner they service their clients. These adjustments have proven to be both difficult and wise. In evaluating the over usage of pesticides and their effects on our environment (both interior as well as exterior) new and more effective methods of solving pest problems had to be developed and applied. The age of depending on chemical solutions to pest problems has gone the way of the gas lantern. The environmentally sound program designed was developed to place emphasis on the regular intensive inspection of the premise or business in order to search out and determine the cause of the pest condition. We in the pest management industry refer to this as IPM (Integrated Pest Management). As I stated at the outset this has been difficult (old habits being hard to break for both the technician and the client) yet, it has proven to be a positive way of doing business. The emphasis now is on less chemical usage, more thorough and precise applications (pinpoint treatments) that result in a safe and effective pest management program. By performing an intensive inspection it would reveal that a non-chemical approach would prove more effective by eliminating the very condition that produced it in the first place. The key to any pest management program consists of pest identification, sanitation, harborage elimination as well as pest proofing. The success of the program will largely depend on whether each of the key elements mentioned are addressed.
