The IPM Method

Titanium Laboratories, Inc. believes that effective, responsible pest management should be less dependent on chemical pesticides and more dependent on sanitation, exclusion, trapping and monitoring, and most importantly, baiting. This is Titanium Laboratories’ by laws of an environmentally safe way to manage your pest concerns for long term results. This method of pest management is officially known as Integrated Pest Management, "IPM".

Titanium Laboratories does not rely mainly on repeated, residual pesticide usage to create a barrier against pest invaders. This approach has two flaws.
1. Insects and rodents develop a resistance to pesticides, especially when used at repetitive and low doses.
2. The use of pesticides will not always be accepted, but repelled from areas of treatment. Instead, we take an active approach, the best approach, known as IPM.

MONITORING
We know what and where to look: inspections, baits, lures and adhesives are placed in strategic areas to monitor pest entry.

IDENTIFICATION
Each pest has its own unique life cycle, feeding, and nesting habits. Knowing your pest is the most important part of the first stage.

SANITATION
We alter the environment to make it uninviting by isolation of food, elimination of harborage, altering temperatures, changing lighting, also housekeeping and storage practices. Titanium's technicians will make regular sanitation recommendations to you.

EXCLUSION
Ensuring all entry points are well sealed , cracks and crevices corked, and infested shipments are isolated.

EXTERMINATION
Applying products to areas conducive to pest activity, and areas to active pest infestations.

This is our approach to having an optimum pest control environment with less exposure to chemical pesticides.
