<br />7 <br />Service Centers Nationwide <br /> <br /> <br />and targeted applications with granular or gel baits and ending with the more traditional <br />application of pesticides. Traditional pesticides are used only when all other options are exhausted. <br /> <br />Step 5. Monitoring <br /> <br />It is the collection of data over a period to inform if an infestation is present, the type of pest, its level <br />of infestation, and possibly where they are coming from. Monitoring also helps determine if the <br />control measures are effective through time or need adjusting. Devices like glue boards, insect light <br />traps, ovitraps (for mosquitoes), rodent monitoring stations can be used for monitoring purposes. <br />In many cases, a site map identifying these traps and their locations will be created to help with <br />data collection and report creation. Monitoring also includes inspection and will happen after the <br />initial services. <br /> <br />Step 6. Documentation <br /> <br />An important part of IPM is documenting activities performed in the service tickets, reviewing pest <br />sighting logs, and providing clients with documents with pre/ post-service instructions, along with <br />tips on how to prevent pests. Other documents that can be provided to clients include service <br />agreements, inspection reports, trending reports, IPM plan, pesticide logs, etc. <br /> <br />Step 7. Client Education <br /> <br />At Pestmaster, our communication process happens verbally and through documentation Before, <br />during, and after services. Client education is a vital portion of IPM, since many sanitation and <br />exclusion approaches should be performed by the client to support the control methods <br />implemented by Pestmaster. During our client education step, we set up the expectations with our <br />clients and deliver what was informed. <br /> <br />Specific Approach to Pests <br />Please note that some pests listed may not be part of the requested services in this solicitation but are listed <br />to demonstrate Pestmaster’s ability to handle such matters should they be requested as additional services <br />in the future. <br /> <br />RODENTS – MICE AND RATS: <br /> <br />Mice are considered one of the most troublesome and economically important rodent’s categories <br />in the United States. Mice live and thrive under a variety of conditions. They are found in cities, <br />tending towards a food source such as restaurants and around homes and farms as well as in open <br />fields and agricultural lands. Mice consume and contaminate food meant for humans, livestock, or <br />other animals. They cause damage to structures and property, and they may transmit diseases. The <br />deer mouse has been identified as the carrier of Hantavirus. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 16D1C412-7260-4260-8A87-C870C0BEE374
