Integrated Pest Management in NYC, Long Island, Westchester & Northern, NJ

Is your business getting bugged by insects, rodents, or other pests? Then you’ve come to the right place! Standard Pest Management of New York can bring cleanliness and comfort back to your business space.

Here at Standard Pest Management, we’re unique because of the approach we take to treating infestations and preventing them from returning. Unlike other commercial pest control companies that spray harmful chemicals throughout your workspace, potentially leading to residual contamination in the air you breathe and on the surfaces you use day in and day out, we take what’s called an Integrated Pest Management approach.

This approach is built on the perspective that pests can be handled effectively without using methods that hurt people’s health or the environment. Instead of relying heavily on treatment via toxic chemicals, non-chemical alternatives like structural exclusion, baiting, trapping, and habitat modification are utilized to create healthy, long-term solutions.

Studies published by major research institutions like the University of North Carolina show that the IPM method creates much less pesticide residue and surface contamination than traditional pest control methods. We serve commercial & industrial clients throughout New York City, Long Island, NY, Westchester County, NY & Northern, NJ.

Our Integrated Pest Management Steps

Step 1: Inspection

Regular inspections are a driving force behind effective pest management programs. How often we need to schedule these inspections depends on your the type of business you run. For example, businesses in the food and beverage industry will require more frequent routine inspections than shipment companies.

Our inspections will focus on areas where you have observed pest activity as well as common infestation areas like storage areas, warehouses, and receiving areas. We’ll also want to identify and monitor entry points or areas that are especially attractive to pests, like sources of food, water, and shelter.

Step 2) Preventative Action

Inspections have the added benefit of making us aware of vulnerabilities long before they become a major problem. Once we identify any areas of improvement, we’ll roll out preventative measures to keep pests out.

We’ll also let you know if we notice any housekeeping or sanitation issues that we think pests would find appealing so you and your staff can take action before it’s too late.

Step 3) Identification

The famous general Sun Tzu once said, “know your enemy, and you shall win a hundred battles without loss.” This is absolutely true for pest control. We can’t effectively fight an infestation until we know exactly what kind of pest we’re dealing with. Once we identify the species, we’ll know what kind of behaviors to look for and how best to combat them.

Not only does this increase the efficiency of treatment, but it also helps us narrow down which methods will work best to minimize any risk or exposure to other organisms.

Step 4) Analysis

Once we’ve identified the kind of perpetrator we’re dealing with, we need to figure out their motive (i.e., why they’ve chosen to invade your facility!) Are there any gaps in the floors, walls, or other parts of your building that makes it easy for pests to enter? Are there patches of moisture or debris that pests find irresistible?

Any odors they might be drawn to? Identifying what factors are motivating pests to enter your facility in the first place will help us narrow down the most effective techniques to help control the unwanted intruders in the future.

Step 5) Treatment Selection

Unlike traditional commercial pest control methods that rely on the use of harmful chemicals, IPM favors non-chemical techniques like exclusion, baiting, and trapping. Depending on your facility and the types of pests you’re dealing with, treatment options will vary. Typically a treatment plan will involve a couple of solutions targeted to best manage your particular situation.

If non-chemical methods have proven ineffective at managing a situation, a small amount of chemicals may be used in a very specific, targeted capacity.

Step 6) Monitoring

Monitoring is crucial to ensure that pest populations don’t bounce back. And if they do try to make a comeback, catching them early is key so that we can take swift action before the problem escalates, the infestation spreads, and real damage is done.

Once we’ve rolled out a treatment plan, we also want to make sure that the plan is working. If any aspect of the treatment plan is found to be ineffective, we’ll know right away so we can make the necessary adjustments for the best possible treatment.

Step 7) Documentation

If your facility ever gets audited, you’ll want to have timely pest control documentation on hand to share with the inspector. Documents you should keep on file include service reports, pest activity reports, pesticide usage reports, and reports of any corrective actions taken.

Documentation will also help you monitor the situation over time. You can look back at data like when the pests first appeared and where they appeared, and then compare that to the most recent data. This will help shed light on how the problem has evolved over time, where the most vulnerable areas of your facility are, and if treatment is working over time.
