What is the difference between pest control and an exterminator?
First, exterminator services are just one part of an overall pest control approach; so, extermination is an activity that falls under the broad pest control umbrella.
More specifically, exterminator services focus on removing the current pest infestation or providing wildlife removal services—and that’s all. Pest control services take a holistic approach; while the current infestations are addressed, pest control experts will uncover the ways that pests are entering your home and then create customized solutions to prevent them from coming back.
This holistic approach is known as integrated pest management (IPM), which is the approach we employ at Modern Pest Control. We prioritize rapid infestation resolution using the least toxic, lowest risk treatment products available. This helps to reduce pesticide usage and includes preventative measures in the solution. We also use non-chemical monitors to identify hot spots of activity and then carefully apply targeted treatments.
To keep pests from coming back into your home, our expert New England pest control team will apply a protective barrier around your house, which creates a great, big “keep away” sign for pests.
