Integrated Pest Management

At Andrews Arboriculture, our mission is to provide you with the most effective, eco-friendly solutions for maintaining the health and beauty of your landscape. Central to this mission is our commitment to Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

What is Integrated Pest Management?

Integrated Pest Management is an effective, science-based approach to pest control that minimizes risks to people and the environment. It focuses on long-term prevention of pests and their damage through a combination of techniques such as regular monitoring, strategic use of organic and conventional pest controls, habitat manipulation, and encouraging the presence of naturally occurring predators of pests.

Our Approach

Regular Monitoring and Assessment: We regularly survey your landscape for signs of pest activity. Early detection is key in effective pest management.

Prevention: We place great emphasis on pest prevention through strategic planning and early intervention. This includes techniques like proper plant selection, soil conditioning, and regular pruning.

Control: If pest populations reach unacceptable levels, we employ the most effective, least disruptive treatment strategies. These can include the use of approved organic or conventional pesticides, applied in a way that minimizes their impact on beneficial organisms and the wider environment.

Continuous Follow-up: Effective pest management requires constant oversight. We monitor the effectiveness of our interventions and adapt our strategies as necessary, ensuring that your landscape remains healthy and vibrant throughout changing seasons and evolving pest challenges.
