What Is IPM for Bed Bug Elimination?

Bed bug infestations have hit cities across the nation so hard that the problem has garnered attention from the federal government’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) .

The EPA put together a task force that encourages partnerships within government, industry, and local communities to combat bed bug infestations. When it comes to bed bug elimination, the EPA recommends IPM.

IPM programs incorporate both non-chemical and chemical pest control protocols to get rid of bed bug infestations. They start with knowledge of the bed bug life cycle and its behavior profile. This lets pest control agents know about bed bugs’ reproduction, lifespan, and travel habits. Armed with this knowledge, pest control companies such as Strategic Pest Solutions can formulate solutions for their clients that cause the least harm to the environment, people, and pets.

In the case of a bed bug infestation, we know that the insects multiply very quickly. While they aren’t directly linked to disease transmission, a bed bug infestation sends the message that your property doesn’t meet common hygiene standards. We know that high heat kills them and that certain chemicals can be used within a multi-stage offensive against a bed bug colony.

At Strategic Pest Solutions, we customize IPM solutions that are based on an inspection of your property. If chemicals are needed, we select products that are registered by the EPA as safe and effective.
