Remember...“Pesticides should not be the central theme of your pest control program.”
Since pesticides contain toxic substances, pesticides should not be the principal method used to control pests Rather, use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. Control dirt, moisture, clutter, foodstuff, and building penetrations to minimize pests, and, where possible, use baits and traps rather than pesticidal sprays.
Use pesticides only when other methods have failed, and only where pests are located. Avoid routine pesticidal applications as a means for “prevention” of pests. Make sure the pesticide is formulated for the targeted pest. Seek out pest control companies that are well versed in IPM methods.
Apply pesticides only during unoccupied hours, and ventilate the building with significant quantities of outdoor air during and just after applications. Use more than normal outdoor air ventilation for some period after occupancy.
