Our lush landscapes make wonderful fast food joints for these pests. Sonic and vibrating devices are quickly ignored by the gophers. The use of plants and alternative products typically does not work. Gophers create pop up holes from their burrows that people and pets can trip in and cause serious injuries. Ground squirrel burrow system can be extremely involved and many times endanger slopes. Pesky gophers and ground squirrels make nice burrows in the landscape undermining our lawns and hillsides. We help you to work with us to achieve a balance with nature. Keeping trash cleaned up and in sealed bags in covered bins at all times. Installing a pea gravel 12 inch border around the home to prevent pest entry. Tolerating the occasional ant or sowbug or earwig. Therefore we have to be realistic and utilize the appropriate measures to achieve as pest free a life as possible. One mouse may cause a small amount of loss to your grass seed or stored grains, but even one is not tolerated in a home or business. One cockroach may not be causing any economic damage of significance, but a homeowner will not tolerate it. The true concept of IPM does not really work in a home or business. When that threshold is breached, then you take appropriate steps to use different and increasingly harsh methods up to, but not always including the use of insecticides.

The term IPM or integrated Pest Management originated in agriculture as a concept that you can tolerate a certain amount of damage to a plant before the damage will effect the plant’s ability to product fruit or a crop.

No two sites are exactly alike and we tailor our programs to your needs and desires plus regulatory demands. We examine the site or home and then take the appropriate environmentally sound procedures that are necessary.

Our programs for working with the environment to prevent pest issues can be as simple as cleaning up your yard of debris and trimming bushes, to plant pest treatments to prevent ant problems and modifying your watering schedule to make the yard a more arid environment and inhospitable to the pests.
