Animal/Pest – Integrated Pest Management? What is it? How it helps you..

When it comes to deciding what to plant in your yard, the thought of pests and animal control should be highly taken into consideration. One option for pest control we at Endless Mountain Landscapes like to practice is called Integrated Pest Management. IPM is an approach to pest control that focuses on pest prevention by eliminating the root causes of pest problems (Penn State Cooperative Extension). At your request, we can put your landscape on a scheduled regimen of inspections and economical control strategies against pests that will help keep your landscape looking healthy and beautiful year round.  Sometimes, the use of chemicals may need to be  recommended to control a pest if other physical, biological, and mechanical controls become futile. If chemical control is used to control a target pest, we make sure that the chemicals are applied only by or under the direct supervision of specially trained and certified applicator (PA Certified Pesticide Applicator).
