Frequently Asked Questions

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective, environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that focuses on prevention and maintenance to stop pest issues before they become problems. When pest issues do arise, IPM requires an understanding of pest life cycles, biology, behavior, and how different pest species interact with the environment to determine appropriate tools and targeted treatment methods that will have the least impact on the surroundings.

Ehrlich uses only products registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in accordance with label laws. Your day-to-day life will not typically be impacted by treatment. If your pest specialist determines you have a pest issue requiring a product that may impact your day-to-day life, they will advise you of any potential safety precautions.

After any treatment for an existing pest problem, you may see a temporary increase in activity. Product applications can sometimes stimulate pests to move. This is a sign that the treatment is working and should subside within a few days. If the problem persists, please call us at 877-875-1865 and one of our pest specialists will conduct a follow-up visit.
