Burgess and Capeway Pest Management is registered with the New England Pest Management Association (NEPMA) as an IPM Registered Business. We also employ IPM Registered Technicians who complete additional examinations beyond State requirements, providing you with technicians more capable of catering to your needs.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a systematic strategy for managing pests which considers prevention, avoidance, monitoring and suppression. Communication and customer cooperation is essential using this approach. Where pesticides are necessary, preference is given to materials minimizing the economic, health and environmental risks.

HOW WE DO IT

We will tailor a program to your individual needs with consideration given to the type of facility, hours of operation, occupant health concerns and insect “pressure”. Complete pest management requires a thorough knowledge of pests and their harborages. An effective program attacks the pest and its basic survival requirements:

Our main objectives are to eliminate these sources. The cost of a pest management professional is negligible compared to the cost of repairing the tangible and intangible damage caused by an insect problem at your facility.

We adhere to a systematic strategy to consistently perform quality services for all your environmental concerns:

1. Education
2. Inspection
3. Pest Identification
4. Customized Programs
5. Treatment Strategy
6. Monitoring and Maintenance
7. Quality Assurance
8. Documentation

Education is the key to your overall satisfaction. Education is directly dependent upon the quality of the people who perform the service. Burgess and Capeway continually educates and trains our IPM Specialists in the most advanced pest management tools and techniques. This provides you with the most qualified and experienced service at your facilities. Sharing our knowledge with you is also a key to our mutual success. Knowledgeable clients become a key part of IPM programs and enable a partnership to succeed.

Inspection is needed to be able to recognize the signs that are conducive for the presence of pests. Some examples of conditions conducive for pest infestations to inspect are; pest entry routes, the need for improved sanitation, exact location of needed repairs, pest trapping results and the need for physical controls. Along with inspection comes identification of any pests that are found. This identification will allow for proper and effective pest management procedures.

Pest Identification is essential in order to properly designate a customized program or treatment strategy. Identification is obtained from regular inspections by your trained Burgess and Capeway Technician or from someone in your facility. After identification is properly obtained, eradication and elimination of that particular problem will be more efficient.

Customized Programs are created for your facility so Burgess and Capeway can to cater to your needs. After a complete inspection and discussion of the problems being experienced at your facility you and a representative from Burgess and Capeway will determine how often service and inspections are required. You will be able create the best possible program within your budget.

Treatment Strategy includes a variety of solutions to problems experienced. Examples of treatments may include:

Sanitation, also known as habitat modification or cleaning, is a must for both the inside and outside of your facilities. It’s important that you keep your facility as clean as possible. Eliminating food stresses the pests by taking away one of the three key items needed for life, which are food, water, and shelter. Good cleaning and sanitation is pest management.

Pest Trapping, or monitoring, is a must for an effective IPM program. Since traps and monitors work 24 hours a day, they provide us with valuable information regarding pest activity. Traps, or monitors, are like a video of what is happening at the facility, as contrasted to just a snapshot of seeing what is present during a visual, on-sight inspection.

Exclusion is the practice of keeping pests outside so they never become a problem inside your facility. Pests that never get inside can never become an indoor problem. External evaluations help identify factors that may attract pests to structures, such as light, heat, odors, improper landscape design, poor sanitation and trash receptacles. As pest management professionals, we focus on a proactive approach to keep pests out.

Pesticide Applications are treatments that should not be the first line of defense in an IPM Service, nor should they be applied just so you think your pest management provider is doing something. IPM Service Specialists must always use care and follow safety instructions indicated on the labels when using pesticides.

Monitoring and Maintenance is an essential part of the overall process of controlling pest issues. It allows our technicians to continuously observe the results of the treatment strategy in order to make appropriate changes when necessary so that pest “pressure” is quickly diminished.

Physical Control or modifications of the environment where pests are found, or may be a concern, will help to manage their populations. Physical control includes light, temperatures, relative humidity, or management of gas levels such as oxygen. These are some essential environmental aspects that influence pest behavior and population growth.

Quality Assurance is the process of evaluation how well the overall IPM program is working. These services provide added insurance, verifying that the work is being done in an appropriate manner. Most importantly, quality assurance is designed to insure client satisfaction. By having another person conduct these reviews, there is an extra pair of eyes that can review the work being done, with positive interaction between the service provider and the client.

Documentation should include all information related to the specifics of the service work. Utilization of the log book and supplementary documentation will be the on-sight sources for the labels, MSDS or Material Safety Data Sheets, service reports, floor plans, site plans, service records, pest activity reports by the client, and other reports that are completed. These documents provide for the collective pest history of the account.
