17 Service Centers Nationwide Non-Chemical Methods of Control: The methods involved in any Integrated Pest Management program can be used to manage multiple species. While pests are different in some ways, the protocols to prevent and manage infestations are consistent in many control processes. As with other species, non-chemical methods include improved sanitation, exclusion, and removal of harborage. Improved Sanitation: Pests need food, water, and shelter to survive. By limiting these three essentials, it is more difficult for pests to live in the infested area. Simply by improving sanitation you can often suppress existing populations and discourage new invasions. Exclusion: Pests can enter and move through a structure through innumerable tiny cracks and openings. Caulking and otherwise sealing cracks and crevices can often have a great effect in suppressing the population. Effective silicon sealers and expandable caulk products designed specifically for pest management are available. We perform exclusion as necessary on cracks and crevices and report other conditions requiring structural modification when identified. Lighting: For cricket control, the removal or changing the style of outside lights may prove very effective in controlling crickets. This control measure will be discussed with your representative if we find conducive conditions. Chemical Methods of Control: When chemical controls are necessary for miscellaneous pest species such as silverfish and crickets, and for that matter, any other pest that enters the building, small amounts of targeted pesticides are used, and only where the pests are seen inside or around the structures. By using a combination of Integrated Pest Management techniques and small applications of non-toxic pesticides, control can be achieved. Excessive applications of pesticides are not necessary for an effective control program. Baits, dusts, granules, and liquid pesticides have been developed that work on many different species. BEE, WASP, HORNET and STINGING ARTHROPOD CONTROL: Stinging arthropods such as bees, wasps, or hornets may cause a situation, which interferes with the mission of the facility and must be dealt with by utilizing quicker response times. Integrated Pest Management techniques may be used in some situations by removing nests or improving sanitation, which will remove food sources. In other cases, the key to effective control is with a product such as Wasp Freeze, which will provide a quick ‘knock down’ of the infestation. We may use traps, which have pheromones inside. These swarm traps will be inspected on a regular basis. When DocuSign Envelope ID: 16D1C412-7260-4260-8A87-C870C0BEE374
