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. 6 Friendly Methods of Pest Control in Raleigh, NC #1 Organic Pest Control Organic pest control is limited to methods that come from plants or animals. #2 Natural Pest Control Natural pest control refers to methods that come from nature but not from plants or animals. This mostly includes minerals, such as boric acid or diatamaceous earth. #3 Biological Pest Control Biological pest control is a little different from organic pest control. It refers to methods that use bacteria, fungus, or hormones. #4 Green Pest Control Green Pest Control is pest control that has less impact on the environment. Sometimes people call this environment friendly pest control. #5 Low toxic Pest Control Low toxic pest control refers to methods that have less toxicity to mammals than insect life. These methods are popular because they are toxic enough to dangerous insects like Black Widows but have low toxicity to mammals. #6 Pet and Child Friendly Pest Control Pet and child friendly pest control may include any of the methods above. Alchemy Pest Control does not focus on one of the first five methods. Rather, we are committed to using whichever method is most friendly to pets and children. |
