Commercial IPM

Core IPM Program
Witt Pest Management provides the highest level of Integrated Pest Management for commercial establishments. Every year rats, roaches and other pests destroy billions of dollars in property and product. They also destroy reputations. Something as small as a roach or a rodent hair can damage your business. No matter what the nature or the size of your company is, you can never have a minor pest problem. In these days of environmental concern, governmental regulation, regular plant inspections and a growth in consumer awareness, pest control for your business is not a job for amateurs.
A professional IPM program, developed and supervised by knowledgeable, experienced professionals is the only proven method to control pests – safely, economically, and effectively. WITT provides that kind of professional service.

What is Integrated Pest Management?
It's a new expression to describe the approach that WITT has been using for years in structuring pest control programs for our industrial, commercial and institutional accounts.
IPM makes use of the full field of knowledge about pests and their control.

How does Witt's Professional Integrated Pest Management Program work?
We make a comprehensive analysis of your facility and operations. You will be furnished with a detailed proposal for a program customized to suit your specific needs and the conditions of your building(s). A Witt Senior Technician will then install your pest solutions equipment and make regular inspections of your facilities. A combination of proven methods to prevent or correct specific problems will be applied by technician during each visit including: positioning of early insect warning monitors, strategic bait placements, mechanical trapping devices, targeted, crack & crevice applications treatment, and detailed, electronic record-keeping.

How does Witt use IPM methods?
Witt Integrated Pest Management is a proactive, holistic approach to pest control. An IPM provider is a lot more than the conventional “pesticide applicator.” IPM service involves detailed inspection, monitoring, effective treatment, habitat modification, exclusion, and ongoing communication with client to achieve positive results through coordinated action. In addition, IPM is more environmentally responsible, substantially reducing the amount of materials applied, by preventing pest problems from occurring.

Why Choose Witt over another company?
Most pest control companies use conventional methods to treat for pests, which focus on merely the symptom of the problem. At Witt, our technicians are trained to seek out the source (“SOS”) of any current or potential problem, and eliminate it! With almost a century of experience in our area and a history of unparalleled service, Witt Pest Management provides the highest quality, and cost effective, commercial pest protection. By using integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, your Witt Senior Technician will diligently work to deliver optimum pest service for your establishment.

The Importance of Customer Interaction
One of the most important tenets of IPM is ongoing communication between your Witt Senior Technician and your facility management team. Coordinated action is a significant step to achieve optimum pest control through IPM. Examples of coordinated efforts include cleaning and sanitation measures, structural repairs, and timely communication. Such corrective actions taken by both the client and technician will create ideal conditions for pest exclusion and prevention.

Detailed Record Keeping and Analysis
Our technicians record each service using handheld devices supported by the exclusive ePM™ (hyperlink) (electronic pest management) application, to track data including material usage, pest activity in specific areas, site conditions and recommendations. At the completion of each service, our senior technicians provide a computerized print-out of all service data and that record will be available via a safe and secure online portal for convenient customer access. All time-stamp verified, service history collected in the field can be viewed and analyzed by running specific reports, by both the client and Witt’s office staff for quality assurance. Our quality assurance team regular evaluates such information for identification of trends and patterns of activity for a higher level of pest control. Witt is the only company in the area to offer such an enhanced feature.

The Witt Difference

Witt has continuously focused on the actions, not the words, with a celebrated service history spanning almost a century. You can have the peace of mind in knowing that your pest control company is:
