1 (877) 862-5973IPM is a science-based approach that combines multiple control methods biological, physical, cultural, and chemical — to manage pests with the least possible risk. Rather than defaulting to maximum chemical application, IPM starts with the least invasive effective method and escalates only when necessary. This produces better long-term results, reduces resistance development, and minimizes environmental impact. All Chippewa technicians are IPM-certified.
Subterranean termites leave mud tubes along foundation walls, have straight-sided ant-like bodies, and produce hollowed wood that sounds papery when tapped. Carpenter ants create clean sawdust-like frass and have a distinct pinched waist. Drywood termites leave fecal pellets that resemble tiny wooden beads. Distinguishing between these requires professional inspection our assessment will identify the exact species and extent of activity.
Your pets' safety is always our priority. We use only EPA-registered products and apply them strictly according to label guidelines. In most cases, pets may safely return to treated areas once surfaces are completely dry, typically within 2–4 hours. If a service requires a longer re-entry time, we'll clearly inform you ahead of your appointment. We also provide botanical and low-toxicity treatment options for homes with sensitive pets or immune-compromised family members.
There are two choices. In addition to regular service agreements (quarterly or bi-monthly) for continual protection, we provide single-visit treatments for particular issues. The best method for long-term pest prevention, service agreements offer substantial cost savings and unlimited callbacks in between appointments. No long-term lock-ins are necessary; all plans are adjustable.
Increased pest activity is frequently observed just after treatment because insects are agitated and forced from their harborage locations. This is not an indication that the treatment is ineffective, but rather a typical and expected reaction. Within 72 hours, roach numbers usually start to decline, and within 1-2 weeks, they significantly decrease. As workers return bait to the queen, it may take ants one to three weeks to completely eradicate the colony. A timeline tailored to your pest kind will be provided by your professional.
A thorough property evaluation, pest identification, a report on the severity of the infestation, and a personalized treatment recommendation with no commitment are all included in your complimentary inspection.
