The safety of people, pets and the
environment is the Alley's Pest Control commitment. For this reason, whenever possible, we
use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for home, office, commercial, industrial and
institutional properties. IPM is a consumer and environmentally friendly pest
control program that combines the use of non-chemical methods with the prudent and minimal
use of pesticides. IPM is based upon sharing the responsibility for pest control
between Alley's Pest Control and the owner, occupant or manager of the property being
serviced. IPM procedures include:
Pro-Active Inspections
Consumer Pest Control Education
Pest Monitoring Devices
Baits Replace Pesticide Sprays
Exclusion Screening, Caulk or Foam
IGR's-Insect Growth Regulators
Improved Trash & Garbage Disposal
Glue boards/Tin Cats Replace Rodenticides
Crack & Crevice Residuals
Non-Chemical Powders
Integrated pest management (IPM) is a term that is used widely and has different meanings to different people. IPM may be defined as the intelligent selection, integration, and use of actions to manage a pest while attempting to achieve favorable economic, ecological, and sociological consequences. Favorable economic consequences regarding protection of a structure from termites include
- Paying the least costs over the life of a structure in efforts to protect it.
- Protecting other organisms and providing a sustainable environment.
- Protecting human health and satisfying the desires of humans.
The other defining characteristic of IPM is its reliance on a combination of different pest control tactics: Cultural and sanitation controls (e.g., plant variety selection, cleanliness, good horticultural practices), physical/mechanical control (e.g., trapping, barriers to pests, hand removal, etc.), biological controls, and pesticides. Biological control is an integral part of a well-balanced IPM program, along with the other tactics.
