Integrated Pest Management Program
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the most advanced pest management program available in today's market. Mantis Pest Controls IPM service approach utilizes preventative and corrective pest management strategies that include inspection, monitoring, managed product use, and record keeping. This program is an excellent method of resolving pest concerns and Mantis Pest Control will design a custom IPM program to meet your needs.
Inspection Mantis Pest Control technicians are trained to conduct thorough inspections and identify pests that may be present in your facility. Visual inspections of interior and exterior conditions will provide valuable information regarding the location of active pest infestations and possible control strategies. Additionally, the inspections target areas that are particularly sensitive to insect activity.
Monitoring Insect monitors are strategically placed in the facility to trap portions of the pest population and identify areas of other pest activity. Additionally, your Pest Sighting Log keeps a running record of pest sightings to monitor the level of activity on a continuing basis. This monitoring component is an integral part of our recurring service.
Managed Product Use The goal of IPM is to develop a comprehensive system of handling pest management issues without total reliance on pesticide products. For example, our technician may caulk a harborage zone in order to eliminate a pest access point. However, we will also use Government approved products to resolve infestations. Baiting and trapping techniques are used extensively to minimize the use of pesticide applications to the facility. Your participation is essential to managed product use. Proper sanitation and the reduction of other conditions that are conductive to infestations will help maximize the effectiveness of our services. As with any partnership, your cooperation and participation are valued and appreciated.
Service Visits Your IPM Program consists of a comprehensive initial service followed by regularly scheduled services.

Provide exterior liquid and/or granular treatment to reduce current pest populations.
Remove rodents or insects found during the service.
