Landmark Pest Management

General Info
Landmark emphasizes the control of insects and rodents with the least possible harm to the environment or human health. Landmarks modern service uses targeted methods to reduce exposure to pesticides. We first encourage chemical-free pest control measures, structural exclusion and habitat modification to control pests.The Department of Entomology at the University of North Carolina has conducted studies comparing differences in amounts of time required, cost, materials used, and efficacy of these two service types. What they found is that the IPM method Landmark employs generates significantly less pesticide residues and contamination of non-target surfaces and it is a viable and preferable alternative to old-fashioned pest control. As a research-based pest control firm, Landmark Pest Management uses this and other study data to inform our green pest control practices.We encourage chemical-free pest control as first measures before turning to products that carry warnings of any kind. When pesticides are used, the mildest effective product is chosen and is applied the most targeted way at the lowest effective dosage.Landmarks Integrated Pest Management program seals pests out and prevents infestations by first relying on pesticide-free strategies designed to stop insects and rodents before they become a problem. Landmark introduces pesticide-free methods including insect light traps, air curtains, barriers, screens, sealant, door sweeps, pheromone traps, insect traps, vacuuming, sanitation and the removal of food and harborage. Our preferred green methods include effective natural products such as silica, dust formulations applied to inaccessible wall voids, and targeted bait gels applied to cracks-and-crevices.
