What Is Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?

Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is an ecosystem-focused strategy for pest control that prioritizes long-term prevention over short-term chemical fixes.

At Primal Pest Control, IPM is the foundation of everything we do. Before we ever apply a treatment, we look at the bigger picture: What's attracting pests to your home? Are there entry points that need sealing? Can we adjust environmental factors like watering schedules or landscaping to make your property less hospitable to pests?

Only after these less invasive methods do we move to product application. We use the lowest effective toxicity category for active infestations, then natural EPA 25(b) exempt products such as EcoVia or Naturecide for maintenance.

This approach isn't just better for your health. It's more effective long-term. By addressing the root causes of pest problems, we create lasting solutions instead of temporary fixes that require repeated chemical applications.
