A Smarter, Safer Approach to Pest Control

At Ed Lavery & Sons Pest Control, we believe that effective pest control doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health, your home, or the environment. That’s why we proudly implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy — a modern, science-based approach to pest control that goes beyond traditional treatments to provide long-lasting results with minimal risk.

What Is Integrated Pest Management?

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a proactive and environmentally responsible method of pest control that focuses on prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatment. Rather than relying solely on pesticides, IPM combines a variety of techniques and tools to address the root causes of pest problems, keeping them from returning.

The core principles of IPM include:

  • Inspection and Monitoring: Regular assessments to detect early signs of pest activity.
  • Identification: Accurately identifying pests to determine the best control methods.
  • Prevention: Communicating with customers recommendations for eliminating conditions that attract pests, such as food sources, moisture, and entry points.
  • Control Methods: Using the least toxic, most effective solution — including mechanical traps, exclusion methods, and targeted pesticide applications only when necessary.
  • Evaluation: Periodically reviewing the success of treatments and adjusting strategies as needed.
