We believe that the key to an effective pest control program is Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

IPM addresses two health and safety concerns:

Biological Hazards: Pests contaminate food, food contact surfaces, foodservice equipment and utensils with pathogenic microorganisms, which are carried in their excreta and on their bodies. These pathogens are known to cause mild sickness to death.

 

Chemical Hazards: Improper application and use of pesticides can contaminate foods.

IPM focuses on:

• Identifying the target pest
• Understanding the pest's habits and life cycle
• Utilizing non-chemical methods to control target pests
• Using chemical methods only as a last resort

Morrell Associates pest management team will design, develop, and

implement a successful IPM program for your food establishment.

Our IPM program consists of:

• Inspecting the foodservice establishment to identify target
  pests, pest infestation and factors that favor
  pests' survival.
• Establishing a program utilizing non-chemical methods
  and chemical methods as a last resort.
• Educating foodservice management as to the importance
  of their active role in the IPM program.
• Reviewing services with foodservice management
  after an inspection and/or treatment.
