Oftentimes, we don’t. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as much as possible. That strategy includes non-chemical in addition to chemical management techniques. We also have green products and lower-risk products such as baits that we use regularly. The point is to assess the situation and create the correct method of treatment (which may or may not include chemicals) to deal with that particular pest issue. Frequently, we use physical, mechanical, and preventative controls in lieu of going right for chemicals. The products we use are only a small part of our pest control strategy. IPM includes thoroughly inspecting, teaching you and your family or staff on how to make the area less hospitable to pests, and installing exclusions to keep the pests out in the first place. Our technicians are trained and certified for the chemicals we use. So, you can rest assured they are using the least amount possible in the safest manner possible to control your pest issue effectively. The technicians will also target the product so they only use it where the treatment will have the most success. It’s the most effective way with the least risk.

In many cases, we do not. Western uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which relies on non-chemical as well as chemical management techniques. The principle is that we evaluate the situation and apply the right treatment method (chemical or not) to each situation, often relying on mechanical control, physical controls, and preventative controls first. However, since our technicians are trained to use pesticides, they will apply them only in the safest way possible. Remember, the products we’re using are only a small part of what we do for pest control. Other aspects of IPM include conducting thorough inspections, educating you on making your property less hospitable to pests, and utilizing exclusions to help keep pests out. We also make sure to apply our products with a targeted treatment strategy so the product only goes where it will be the most effective.
