Regular Pest Control Service Plans
Routine service plans are essential for long-term pest control, with frequency depending on your property’s needs:
- Monthly Treatments: Monthly treatments offer consistent protection for high-risk areas and pest-heavy properties. Monthly plans are popular with businesses like restaurants, where constant pest control is critical.
- Every Other-Month Treatments: Ideal for most homes, every other-month treatments focus on keeping seasonal pests like ants, spiders, and scorpions at bay. University Termite & Pest Control provides customizable every other-month plans tailored to Tucson’s climate and pest patterns.
Targeted Pest Treatments for Specific Infestations
For specific pest problems, targeted treatments ensure thorough eradication and prevention:
- Termite Control: University Termite & Pest Control specializes in termite management using methods like Termidor® liquid barriers, wood treatments, and the Trelona ATBS® baiting system to prevent and eliminate termite colonies.
- Rodent Control: Includes humane trapping, baiting, and entry-point sealing. University Termite & Pest Control conducts a thorough inspection to identify and seal access points, minimizing future rodent problems.
- Bed Bug Treatments: Bed bugs often require heat treatments or chemical applications. University Termite & Pest Control’s bed bug experts use multi-step treatments to eradicate bed bugs and provide follow-ups as needed.
- Scorpion and Mosquito Control: Targeted treatments and yard sprays are highly effective for pests common in Tucson, such as scorpions and mosquitoes.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
University Termite & Pest Control supports the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, combining prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatments to maintain a pest-free environment with minimal pesticide use.
- Monitoring and Inspections: Regular inspections catch pest issues early before they become infestations.
- Physical Barriers: University Termite & Pest Control can seal up entry points and install screens or mesh where needed to prevent pest entry.
- Biological Controls: In IPM, natural predators or beneficial organisms may be used to control pests.
- Selective Use of Pesticides: Only low-toxicity products are used and applied strategically to minimize environmental impact.
Preventive Pest Control Measures
Preventive measures go a long way in keeping pests out, and University Termite & Pest Control includes these as part of its integrated approach:
- Sealing and Exclusion: Caulking cracks, weatherstripping, and securing windows help keep pests from entering.
- Yard Maintenance: Regular yard maintenance removes pest habitats, like leaf piles, which attract rodents and insects.
- Food and Trash Storage: Properly storing food and disposing of trash limit food sources for pests.
- Moisture Control: Leaks and excess moisture attract pests, so fixing these issues reduces pest activity.
Seasonal Pest Control Programs
In Tucson’s climate, seasonal pest control can be essential. University Termite & Pest Control offers seasonal programs to target pests active at different times of the year:
- Spring: Ants, spiders, and termites become more active. University Termite & Pest Control offers comprehensive termite inspections in spring to catch infestations early.
- Summer: Scorpions, wasps, and mosquitoes are most active. Targeted treatments, such as mosquito fogging and yard sprays, are available.
- Fall: Rodents seek shelter as temperatures drop. Rodent-proofing and exclusion services are critical in the fall.
- Winter: Termites and rodents remain active indoors, making winter inspections essential to detect activity.
University Termite & Pest Control Recommendation: A seasonal pest control plan controls pests year-round. Their “Four Seasons” approach offers quarterly inspections and treatments tailored to Tucson’s pest activity.
