How Does Orkin Canada’s Cottage Pest Control Program Work?

Orkin Canada’s cottage pest control program utilizes an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) approach to sustainably keep pests away from your cottage. The IPM method focuses on implementing innovative solutions that minimize the pest population on your property to avoid any damage to your property.

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

Prevention

The first step to preventing pests from invading your cottage is to understand what is attracting them to your property. Your Orkin Pro will do a thorough assessment of your property, looking for any elements that attract and allow pest populations to thrive and potentially damage your cottage.

This process involves correcting any vulnerabilities or pest pressure points within your cottage, such as gaps in the exterior walls or foundation, unscreened vents or windows that may provide pests with an easy entry point. Your Orkin Pro will also work with you to eliminate and/or modify conditions that may allow pest populations to thrive on your property. This may include eliminating food and water sources, as well as, harbourage areas for pests.

Monitoring

Your Orkin Pro will monitor high traffic areas for any potential pest issues. This monitoring process provides early detection of a potential pest issue, so that your Orkin Pro can take action before the issue worsens.

Monitoring is also a great way to provide information on the type of pest within your cottage, the size of the pest population within your cottage and the frequency of pest activity. This information will be used in the development of a future preventive plan of action as part of the overall cottage pest protection program.

Control

If pest activity is detected or found, your Orkin Pro will implement an appropriate mitigation strategy to actively control and minimize the impact that pest populations may have and help ensure that pests will not cause structural damage or pose health risks. Depending on the type, size and nature of the infestations, mitigation may include strategies such as trapping or liquid treatments. This is done by whenever possible using environmentally sustainable products applied strategically.

Evaluate & Document

Implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of the cottage pest control program is a significant part of the process. It helps your Orkin Pro get a better understanding of the pest pressures within the area and allows them to make adjustments to the program that can better manage the pests on your cottage property.
