What Integrated Pest Management means
IPM is a tiered approach: identify, exclude, monitor, and only then treat — with the lowest-impact product that will work. It's slower than spraying everything, but it lasts longer and keeps chemicals out of Burrard Inlet, False Creek and the Salish Sea.
Products we prefer
- Botanical formulations based on rosemary, thyme and clove oils
- Diatomaceous earth and silica-based dusts for cracks and crevices
- Pheromone monitors and mechanical traps for crawling pests
- Heat treatments for bed bugs and stored-product pests
Our coastal commitment
Every treatment plan starts with a question: what's the least chemistry we can use and still solve this? When stronger products are necessary, we apply them in targeted spots — never broadcast — and document every application.
