As you navigate the world of bug management, you will notice two terms used frequently – Pest Prevention and Pest Control. Most people use the two terms interchangeably, but in the exciting world of bug management, we like to use the term Pest Prevention!
Pest Prevention refers to an integrated, multi-faceted approach to managing pests, also known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The goal is to prevent pests from entering the structure, rather than to eliminate all bugs everywhere. Physical exclusion of pests, elimination of access points, and targeted use of effective products are all important in Pest Prevention. The products used in Pest Prevention are usually target- and site-specific. This means that we select these products carefully depending on where they are used, which pests we are targeting, and the environmental conditions at the time of the application.
Pest Control is a more broad-spectrum term used for pest-management services. Although most state-certified Pest-Control-Operators (CPOs) prefer the term Pest Prevention, the term Pest Control is most commonly-used by the general public.
Bottom line, at EPLS we prefer the term Pest Prevention. Either way, you can rest assured that our veteran team members employ the best treatment techniques and products available, while keeping our environment in mind. After all, we have homes and families too…
