Alpine Pest Management

General information

We are the “Solution Specialists”
That means that we’ll try to completely solve your pest problem rather than just treating the symptoms. Many pest problems here in Central Oregon can be solved completely with a thorough evaluation of the situation. Many of our competitors simply treat the symptoms with monthly pest control services without inspections. That approach never solves a pest problem. Alpine Pest Management doesn’t believe in or do monthly pesticide applications.

We believe in, and practice the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). That means that we employ a systematic approach to solving a pest problem.

The first step in an IPM approach to a pest problem is to identify the problem species and identify the specific area(s) where the pest is a problem. We do this by talking to you, the customer and then performing a thorough inspection of your property.

The second step is to identify the “conducive conditions” that contribute to the success of the pests. This means looking for anything in and around the property that would encourage the pest species to become established in the area.

The third step is to correct the conducive conditions if possible. This could mean cleaning up yard debris that the pests may use for harborage, eliminating water leaks, installing screens on windows or replacing door sweeps on doors to exclude the pests from the house. In many cases, it means repairing damaged vents or sealing other openings. Exclusion is an excellent method of pest control management.

Finally, if a pesticide application is warranted, we will judiciously apply the pesticides to most effectively control the pest problem without any unnecessary applications. We take pride in applying just ounces of pesticides to solve problems that our competitors would use gallons to solve. We specialize in spot treatments for solving your pest control problems.
