To create a pest-free environment, thresholds should be set, according to an article on the FacilityCare website. Expectations and environment also must come into play when working to improve a pest management program.
For a newer building without any present pest issues, it’s reasonable to move forward with a “one pest is one too many” threshold.
But older buildings often have cracks and seams that develop, which can give pests an easy entry point.
Integrated pest management (IPM) is the way forward in either case, the article said. IPM doesn’t rely exclusively on chemical treatments, but instead focuses on an ongoing cycle of inspections, monitoring and the use of exclusion and sanitation techniques.
