What to Expect From Our Pest Control Services
Our pest control services begin with an inspection to identify pest activity and conditions that may contribute to an infestation. Based on the findings, our trained professionals recommend an appropriate treatment approach and explain the next steps.
Depending on your pest control needs, ongoing maintenance services can also help identify potential problems and support long-term pest prevention.
What is Integrated Pest Management?
Successful pest control involves not only the application of pesticides but also correcting conditions that encourage pest development or continuation. This is called Integrated Pest Management (IPM for short). As part of our maintenance service with Griggs & Browne, your technician will be inspecting your property at each visit and bringing to your attention conditions that should be corrected. The following lists are things that a homeowner should check regularly to help prevent pest infestations:
Exterior

- Firewood stacked near or against the house
- Gutters loaded with leaves and debris

- Trashcans without tight-fitting lids
- Attic louvers without screens or with ripped screens
- Unsealed holes where wiring or pipes enter the house
- Holes or openings in a bulkhead
