4 Steps of Integrated Pest Management in Raleigh, NC

#1 Inspect

The first step of Integrated Pest Control is inspection. Our technicians thoroughly inspect conditions around the outside of the home. Key points of interest include the eaves, lighting fixtures, windows, doors, the foundation, acute corners, the base of trees and shrubs close to the home, and under decks or stairways.

#2 Identify

The second and very important step is identification. Our technicians are thoroughly trained to identify key pest issues. They will identify the types of ants, bees, mites, spiders, or other pests that are active around or in your home.

#3 Prescribe

The third step is prescribing the proper solutions. There are many ways to help control pests. Chemicals should not be seen as the sole means for pest control. There are many biological and environmental conditions that should be considered. Your technician is trained to recognize key issues for pest control in Raleigh, and is aware of biological, environmental, structural and chemical methods to help control target pests.

#4 Communicate

The final step is communication. It is very important for the homeowner to understand how they play an important role in pest management and what that role entails. We will often give recomendations such as using less fertilizer, switching to yellow exterior lights, trying cedar mulch, or other tips depending on which pests your technician has identified around your home.
