Our Pest Control Philosophy

You want to protect your family and home from pests without risking the health of their family, pets, or the environment. That’s why we use Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, as the basis for our pest management philosophy.

Here in Thurston County and the surrounding areas we coexist with nature. As a result, homeowners are exposed to ants, rodents, spiders, cockroaches, and many other pests year-round. IPM is a smart, eco-friendly way to manage these problems without relying on heavy chemical sprays. Instead of just killing pests, IPM focuses on stopping them from coming back in the first place.

IPM works by first investigating why pests are there. Things like moisture, food, shelter, and easy entry points all attract pests. By fixing those issues at the start of any treatment plan, we can control pests and keep them out without relying on repeated sprayings and poisonous chemicals that can harm your family and our community’s wildlife. We’re experts at exclusion work!

How IPM Works

At Spectrum Pest Management, we follow a step-by-step process:

1. Inspection – We identify the specific species of pest you’re dealing with and find out where they’re living and getting into your living space or causing problems.
2. Prevention – We work with you to understand what their food sources are, where moisture is attraction them, and where they’re hiding. 
3. Exclusion – We seal cracks, gaps, and entry points to keep pests out. 
4. Targeted Treatments – We only use treatments where and when they are truly needed. This saves you money, time, and keeps your loved ones, pets, and wildlife safe.

The goal of our approach is always to make you feel safe and comfortable in your home.

How You Can Support IPM at Home

Pest management works best when it’s a partnership with you. You can help make IPM even more effective by:

• Keeping food stored in sealed containers
• Fixing leaks and controlling moisture
• Sealing cracks around doors, windows, and plumbing
• Reducing clutter inside and around your home
