We follow the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This involves a multifaceted approach that combines chemical and non-chemical methods to minimize environmental impact.
IPM takes into account the specific circumstances of each infestation, allowing for tailored solutions that consider factors such as the environment, severity of the infestation, and the presence of vulnerable populations (e.g., children or pets).
