Integrated Pest Management
The Holistic Way to Prevent Bugs and Rodents From
Entering Your Home
At Prodigy Pest Solutions, our primary focus is safely addressing the presence of insects and rodents in and around your home, while subsequently preventing new invasions and infestations from occurring. However we also want to ensure the solutions we use are safe, environmentally-friendly, and holistic — in addition to being effective.
That’s why we adhere to integrated pest management (IPM) methodologies. This process allows our technicians to customize prevention plans around your yard and environment, targeting the weak points of your home and finding a real, final, solution to your pest problems.
What is ipm?
When you have a toothache, there are certain steps you can take to alleviate the pain. You may use numbing cream or ice on your jaw to ease the pain. You may even try pain pills. Yet, each one of these actions doesn’t target the source of your pain; these merely address the symptom (i.e. pain). That’s why you go to the dentist, who can identify why your tooth hurts and remedy it.
IPM is the same way. When you have a bug or rodent problem, our team at Prodigy Pest Solutions can mitigate it with extermination and elimination efforts. We can clear your home of these invaders with solutions that best fit your needs and lifestyle.
However, that’s just the symptom of a larger issue.
Preventing Pest Infestations
In order to prevent infestations and invasions from happening again, we need to address the source of the issue. Do you have overgrown vegetation against your home, or do certain plants in your yard attract pests? Do you store wood on the ground or have gaps along your windows and doors? Is one part of your home more vulnerable than other areas?
Identifying Pest Entry Points
All of these questions — answered through a thorough examination process of your home — will help us determine how the pests broke into your home and what allowed them to thrive.
What does IPM entail?
IPM is very popular, but what it looks like can vary by region and pest type. In Florida, we may have to consider the ways in which our naturally humid and tropical-like environment creates a welcoming home for termites, spiders, and mosquitoes. Once your home’s landscape is taken into consideration, we can then try several methods.
IPM may look like introducing plants or natural components that specific pests around your home don’t like. We may also consider a better irrigation process and timetable or recommend different organizational patterns to mitigate the number of pests in your yard.
