Integrated pest Management

At GSC Pest Management, we take a holistic, long-term approach to solving your pest problems with our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy. Rather than relying solely on chemical treatments, IPM focuses on prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression to achieve lasting pest control.
By understanding pest biology, habitat, and life cycles, we implement environmentally sensitive solutions that combine natural and common-sense practices to reduce pest activity. This approach considers mechanical, cultural, and environmental factors that contribute to infestations, helping to minimize the need for chemical applications.

IPM Strategies for Your Home

There are several proactive steps you can take to deter pests and protect your home:

• Install a crushed stone border around the foundation
• Trim trees and shrubs away from the house
• Eliminate wood-to-soil contact to prevent termite issues
• Improve ventilation in basements and crawl spaces or use dehumidifiers
• Reduce clutter in and around your home
• Store firewood off the ground and away from the house
• Check garage door seals for signs of damage or pest activity
• Remove standing water that attracts insects and rodents
• Keep bird feeders at least 50 feet away from your home
