Integrated pest management

Rentokil has developed a unique approach to integrated pest management using the latest pest control technology we call ERDM.

ERDM, follows 4 key principles of exclusion, restriction, destruction and monitoring to provide your business with the most efficient and effective pest control solutions.

Exclusion

Proactive preventive pest control to stop pests from gaining access to a business, property or area by sealing potential entry points and proofing buildings. Rentokil works with customers to understand when and how pests pose a problem and sets action thresholds against a variety of factors:

• The species of pest involved
• Individual business tolerance
• Building type
• Any conditions conducive to pest activity

Restriction

Containing the spread of pests infestations throughout your business through the removal of food and harborage sites.

Destruction

Utilising industry-leading pest control solutions and the latest innovations in non-toxic pest control, a custom program will be developed to effectively eliminate pests from your business. As part of the IPM program, pest control methods will be evaluated for effectiveness and risk:

• Physical methods - Manipulation of environmental conditions to make it unfavourable for pest to thrive. Tactics include relative humidity, the control light and temperature etc.
• Mechanical methods - Employing techniques and devices such as insect light traps.
• Chemical methods - Highly targeted applications in compliance with environment, health and safety as well as wildlife regulations.
