Eco-friendly pest control is the buzz these days, but it is nothing new for Truly Nolen. We've been providing environmentally-responsible residential and commercial pest control options for decades. It just makes sense.
Pest Control Insulation
One of the best examples of environmentally-responsible pest control is the installation of pest control insulation. The attic space is a key zone in the battle against pests. The best way to protect this zone, and provide wide-reaching pest control benefits for an entire home or business is to install pest control insulation. The product we use has boron in it. This natural substance works great for controlling rodents and insects, and it is a substance found in many household items, including eye drops. If you can put it in your eye, it isn't likely to harm you if you put it in your attic space.
Rodent Exclusion And Trapping
Rather than using poisons, our technicians are trained to apply tamper-resistant rodent traps to manage rodent populations and monitor rodent activity. Along with these control devices, mechanical exclusions are applied. Hardware cloth can be used to protect louvers, vents, and other potential entry points. Special devices can be put over PVC vent pipes. And metal flashing can be used to bolster vulnerable spots. These are just some of the ways to naturally cull rodent populations and prevent them from getting into man-made structures. There is no need for poisons.
Air Curtain and Insect Light Traps
Have you ever noticed a gust of air when the doors open at the supermarket? That doesn't happen because of air decompression. It is called an air curtain, and it is installed to prevent flies from zipping into the store when you go inside. Light traps are another great example of natural pest control used in supermarkets. Many flying insects are attracted to light. These traps use light to capture them. We go to great lengths to help our customers prevent problems with disease-spreading insects, such as house flies, and we find that it can be done with natural solutions like these.
Our Vision
Truly Nolen learned early that customers wanted preventative pest control, rather than extermination. They also wanted a pest control technician who would do more than show up every once in a while to take care of odd jobs, as they used to call them. Customers wanted scheduled maintenance. This type of maintenance made sense because it helped to get in front of pest problems. Truly Nolen took it one step further and went to the University of Florida to get an education in entomology. The secret to effective, environmentally-responsible pest maintenance is to apply scheduled, science-based pest maintenance. This addresses the conditions, attractants, breeding sites, and development processes from which pest problems emerge. This methodology is at the core of how we do pest control.
Michigan Pest Control
Customers in Michigan aren't all that different from the customers Truly Nolen used to work with back when he got started in the Miami Florida area. Residents and business owners want pest maintenance that stops pest problems before they begin. There is no better way to do this than with environmentally-responsible pest control methods and products. These work to naturally repel and deter pests from encroaching into areas they shouldn't be in. When added protection is needed, our technicians select eco-friendly products first, such as synthetic products that contain insect growth regulators, or termite control products that prevent termites from developing by arresting the molting process.
If you've been thinking about investing in a Michigan pest control franchise, we'd love to speak with you. There may be a Truly Nolen franchise opportunity near you. Reach out to us today to learn more.
