At Premise Keepers Pest Solutions we know there are many ways to control pests without the use of chemicals such as prevention, improved housekeeping, and habitat modifications, but when a chemical pesticide is warranted, we choose a material that is both effective and poses  the least amount of hazard to people, pets, and the environment. 

• For many pests, a vacuum may be all that is needed.  Vacuum regularly.  Change bags frequently.
• Good sanitation is a non-chemical pest management measure that does not require specialized training or equipment. 
• Garbage cans should be cleaned regularly.
• The use of insect light traps works well but remember to empty the catch trays regularly.
• Light Management - Bright lights can be an important security measure, but whenever possible replace bright bulbs with yellow insect bulbs.   Mercury vapor lamps and fluorescent lamps have a high UV (Ultraviolet) output which attracts  insects; substitute them with sodium vapor lamps or others with low UV output.  In general, pink or orange lights are less likely to attract insects.  Replace bulbs that put out a  high amount of heat (such as halogen lamps and incandescent floodlights) when possible.  Set lights so that they do not turn on until after sunset; this will help you to avoid many insects which fly only at dusk.
• Tighten screens, caulk gaps, replace door sweeps to keep insects from entering buildings.  Close curtains or blinds on the inside of windows at the end of the day; it will keep interior lights from drawing insects to the structure.
