PEST REVEALER®
Routine monitoring and surveillance are a vital part of integrated pest management. It is important to reveal pest activity before reaching problem levels. Of the many insects in the environment only a small percentage are pests. The MD Weaver Pest Management Professional will monitor tracking devices and make an informed inspection of your premises regularly to detect, identify and take action on pest activity. Equally important is to monitor results and follow up on performed services
PEST EXCLUDER®
To exclude pests from entry and from sources of food and shelter greatly reduces their chances to cause problems and multiply. This approach includes methods that are long-term and as property improvements. This might include the installation of new doors or sealing holes to prevent pest entry but also to provide a weather seal that can save energy. Moisture is kept out of wood to exclude ants and termites. Food is put away to exclude access to pests, garbage is taken away before flies can breed. The MD Weaver Pest Excluder® crew can handle repairs and maintenance to protect a structure and keep it secure against pests.
PEST RELIEVER®
Excluder® and Revealer® help prevent pest issues, Pest Reliever® takes action against pest activity that can still happen. The action taken should minimize or even be done without pesticide use.
