Pest-man.com Ltd offers a complete service for your business. This service is based on Integrated Pest Management or IPM ideals.
IPM is far better for the environment than using pesticides alone. It is also more effective. Using IPM avoids the problems of pest resistance which build up when large quantities of chemicals are used regularly.
By using IPM with our customers, less staff time is taken up by spraying pesticides (an uncomfortable job, due to all the protective clothing that must be worn).
IPM is a complex method that requires detailed information and observation. Monitoring pest populations is crucial, so that they can be detected before they do too much damage. Our trained staff regularly monitor your working environment and place sticky traps (pieces of cardboard or plastic coated with a tacky resin) attract and trap insects, so that staff can easily see which species are present.
To use biological control effectively, a detailed understanding of the biology of the beneficial and pest organisms is needed. Knowing the conditions that discourage the pests will help to balance the odds in favour of a safer area for our customers.
