Our Unique System
Natural Pest Management is a category of pest-control services that use natural, organic, botanical and biological materials to effectively and cost-efficiently control pest problems while providing an unmatched margin of safety around people, pets, possessions and the environment.
Our unique Natural Pest Management (Natural Pest Control) provides effective control of pests, such as ants, roaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, silverfish, rodents and other pests without any sprayed liquid chemicals.
Natural Pest Management shares several fundamental characteristics with Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is a decision-making process that anticipates and prevents pest activity and infestation by combining several strategies to achieve a long-term solution using the least-toxic pesticides possible. In particular, IPM includes premise inspection, pest identification, treatment (control) methods and monitoring.
Natural Pest Management, like any good IPM approach, involves all of these important steps. However, what distinguishes our system is the specific pest-control products (e.g., natural, organic, botanical and biological products) and treatment methods that we use. We do not use any synthetic pesticides or EPA-restricted use pesticides. Click here to read about the pest-control products that we use. In addition, we uses treatment methods such as interior baiting, void-injection dusting, and exterior granular bait applications that have an enormous margin of safety over traditional pest control techniques. Our Natural Pest Management system does not include chemical baseboard spraying inside your home so there is no chemical drift or residue to inhale, or to settle on food or household surfaces. In addition, our system does not use broadcast spraying of liquid chemicals outside of your home so there is no chemical drift to interfere with beneficial insects or to deposit chemicals on areas frequented by pets and children.

Overall, our Natural Pest Management system employs the decision-making methodology of IPM in combination with products and treatment methods that are effective yet address the concerns that many customers have regarding the safety of traditional pest control.
