KILLS PESTS KEEPS THEM OUT.

Terminix’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program addresses the reasons pests may be present and helps prevent future infestations.

Our IPM program consists of:

Inspections of facility interior and exterior.

Identification of pests and analysis of activity.

Treatment of affected areas and implementation of methods for controlling pests.

Recommendations for limiting and preventing pest activity.

Continuous evaluation of treatment effectiveness and any necessary modifications.

Education, upon request, of the facility’s staff, addressing actions and conditions that affect pest activity.

NOT PEST-FRIENDLY.

IT’S MEAN AND IT’S GREEN.

EcoControl provides the guaranteed protection from pests you expect from Terminix, but utilizes environmentally considerate methods. It’s a pest solution that reduces your footprint and effectively protects your business from pests.

WE’RE DETRIMENTAL TO PESTS, NOT TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

We start with the premise that preventing pests is greener than simply reacting to them. That means we put an emphasis on proactive inspection and elimination of conducive conditions. Wherever possible, we replace synthetic chemical treatments with natural substances, like plant essential oils, and alternate methods, like trapping.

We also incorporate our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, including educating your employees to maintain those non-conducive conditions instead of relying solely on chemical treatments. Best of all, our EcoControl program meets the standards set forth by QualityPro Green and the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) program.

BYE-BYE, FLY.

Our commercial fly treatments help ensure that flies don’t become an issue in the first place. Our approach to a fly problem is proactive. We don’t just eliminate your current offenders. We place optimized trapping tools at key entry points to keep future invasions under control so they don’t affect your revenue.

THIS IS A NO-FLY ZONE.

We’ll customize a system for your business, and you’ll see an immediate and noticeable reduction in fly activity. We’ll help you establish practices that minimize fly invasions and advise you on sanitation methods that deter flies. And we’ll examine your facility to see if flies can further be controlled by caulking or weather-stripping.

FLIES DROP, BUT REVENUE DOESN’T.

Our commercial fly control solutions include drain fly removal and ultraviolet Insect Light Traps (ILTs). These traps attract flies and then capture them with a glue trap or a catch tray. We’ll work with you to establish a solution based on your space and fly issues.
