What is eco-friendly pest control?

Eco-friendly pest control is a philosophy that prioritizes human health, animal welfare, and the environment in pest management decisions. Eco-friendly solutions focus on understanding pest behaviors, utilizing targeted treatments, and implementing strategies that discourage ants, mice, and other pests from entering homes and businesses.

Eco-friendly pest control is about more than just applying a temporary fix. It involves long-term solutions that leverage inspections, structural alterations, and persistent monitoring to keep pests out.

How do we apply eco-friendly pest control?

At the heart of our eco-friendly approach is our organic pest control service. Drawing on more than 15 years of development, we’ve crafted a system that relies on plant-based and naturally occurring minerals to control pests. Ingredients like thyme, clove, lemongrass, and rosemary oil possess natural pest-repelling properties, while diatomaceous earth and silicon dioxide offer mineral-based support. These products target pests while posing minimal risk to people, pets, and non-target wildlife.

Our formulations work effectively against pests, and many also carry pleasantly subtle scents, adding a fresh, herbal note to your home or business rather than the harsh chemical odors associated with traditional treatments.

Pest exclusion with Enviro Guard

When you sign up for Enviro Guard, we start with a detailed inspection of your home or business. We examine the perimeter base, roof, eaves, doors, windows, vents, and exterior protrusions such as pipes and wiring. We also look for gaps, cracks, and other openings that pests could use for entry and any harborage areas that might encourage them to linger close to your home.

Based on our assessment, we select materials that will blend with the look of your home or business. These may include caulking, weather stripping, metal screening, netting, expanding cloth, or other hardware solutions. Our highly trained technicians carefully install these materials to eliminate potential entryways and discourage pests from nesting nearby.

After installation, we conduct a quality assurance inspection to ensure our work is secure and effective. Our materials are designed to offer long-term physical deterrents and are backed by a one-year replacement and labor warranty. This means you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing your home is protected.

By dramatically reducing the need for reactive traditional treatments and making your home far less accessible to pests, Enviro Guard aligns seamlessly with our eco-friendly mission. You get lasting results that respect both your property and the environment.

Smart rodent control: data-driven protection for a greener tomorrow

Rodents are frustrating and challenging pests to manage. Mice and rats are resourceful and reproduce quickly. We use Anticimex SMART, a wireless, intelligent electronic rodent control system, to address the tough challenge of keeping structures rodent-free.

How Anticimex SMART works:

• We begin by thoroughly inspecting your property and conducting interviews to understand your pest pressures.
• We develop a customized plan to eliminate existing rodent infestations and reduce the likelihood of future problems.
• We install cutting-edge sensors and non-toxic traps around your site. These devices collect rodents, continuously monitor activity day and night, and report to us wirelessly.When the system detects rodent activity, we’re notified. This allows us to act quickly and adjust our strategy if necessary.
• Anticimex SMART relies on non-toxic solutions. Therefore, the risk to non-target wildlife is minimal, and we can keep environmental impact to a minimum.

For businesses and homes in the Denver-Boulder area, this high-tech approach means a decreased use of control materials, less guesswork, and more consistent and sustainable results.

Practical prevention tips to complement eco-friendly pest control 

While our professional solutions form the backbone of a sustainable pest management strategy, there are practical steps you can take to reinforce your pest management efforts:

• Keep food stored properly, clean up spills promptly, and reduce clutter to eliminate pest attractions.
• Address leaky pipes and improve ventilation to discourage pests that thrive in damp environments.
• Add weather stripping or caulk to further deter pests from entering.
• Trim vegetation away from your home’s exterior to remove natural bridges for pests.

While we do the heavy lifting, these simple steps can help you get the best results possible.
