Bob’s Termite & Pest Services will evaluate your pest problem with a trained and certified inspector. A customized treatment plan will then be designed to best suit your individual needs. However, a treatment plan is only part of successful pest management. The customer’s cooperation and participation will also play a vital role in any successful pest management plan.

An integrated pest management (IPM) treatment program can also be designed to help limit the use of pesticides on the interior of the customer’s home and provide the primary focus around the exterior perimeter. The use of baits, monitoring devices and possible mechanical alterations can also be utilized in a successful IPM treatment program. This type of program will also help prevent future pest problems.

• Seal up all cracks along foundation walls and around windows and doors.
• Make sure all doors fit tightly or have weather stripping. Also, make sure all windows have tight fitting screens.
• Keep proper ventilation in both the attic and the crawl space areas. This will not only help prevent pest but will also help use less energy heating and cooling the house.
• Keep all bushes adjacent to the home cut back so no limbs are touching the foundation or roof.
• Keep all leaves and trash debris picked up around the exterior of the home.
• Keep gutters clear of all debris and flowing without obstructions.
• Replace all rotted wood around the interior and exterior of the home.
• Repair all leaky facets.
• Keep exterior lights off during the evening, as these will attract pests.
• Do not keep any food (including pet food) sitting out overnight.
