How Does Orkin Canada’s IPM Program Work?

In order to understand how Orkin Canada’s IPM program works, you first need to know what an IPM program is. This program is a sustainable way of managing pests using a combination of various tools and approaches in order to prevent pests from entering, or establishing themselves within your commercial space. IPM also focuses on implementing innovative solutions that minimizes the pest population on your property to avoid any economic, health, property or environmental damage.

This is done by using a scientifically backed multi-step process. These steps include:

Prevention

The first step to preventing pests on your commercial property is to understand what is attracting them. Your Orkin Canada technician will assess your commercial property for any factors that could be conducive for pests to feed, nest, and breed. They will then apply pest biology and habitat modification strategies to prevent them.

This process involves correcting any gaps within sanitation practices, maintenance efforts, waste management practices, storage practices, and housekeeping practices. The technician will also work with your team to eliminate and/or modify conducive environments to eliminate food, water, and harbourage for pests in order to keep them away from the property.

Monitoring

Your Orkin Canada technician will then set up monitoring stations and will look for any possible evidence of a potential pest problem. This monitoring process provides for early detection of the problem so that intervention is timely and an infestation is addressed before it gets out of hand. Monitoring not only works as early detection tool but it provides information on pest type, size, occurrences, origin, possible causes, and trends which are important information for the prevention and intervention processes.

Intervention

Once your Orkin Canada technician has correctly identified that there is in fact a pest issue present, your pest expert will start to implement a variety of different control methods to effectively contain the pest population on your commercial property.

Solutions that may be implemented by your Orkin Canada technician can include physical control methods such as mechanical traps and heat/cold treatments. Alternatively, naturally occurring treatments such as pheromone traps and insect growth regulators may be used, while chemical treatments are only implemented as a last resort.

Evaluate and Documentation

Evaluation is a significant part of the IPM process. It helps your Orkin Canada technician to assess the effectiveness of the intervention processes used and any readjustments to the program that may be needed to increase its effectiveness. The whole program is documented; you will have the choice of an electronic or hard copy document outlining what was done, along with any recommendations. Documentation is especially important if your business undergoes third party or regulatory audits.
