At Nurture Pest Control we understand the anxiety, financial impact, health risks and reputational damage pest problems can cause. We also understand our customers want a lasting solution that aligns with their own values on humane treatment, care for the environment and compliance with regulations.

That’s why we specialise in Integrated Pest Management (IPM)—a proactive, science-led approach that combines expert knowledge, preventative measures, and targeted treatments to manage pest populations effectively, whilst minimising risks to human health and the natural environment.

Integrated Solutions for Safer, Stronger Results

By following the core principles of integrated pest management, we can get to the root cause of problems. Instead of relying on reactive treatments or excessive chemical use, we:

Identify the root cause of pest activity
Understand species’ biology, lifecycle, and behaviour in order to choose the most targeted and resilient of measures
Apply the most effective, humane and least harmful methods
Monitor and adapt strategies for long-term protection whilst reducing future infestations and saving your finances in the long run

This means you benefit from sustainable, effective pest management while reducing risks to people, property, and the wider ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions

What are the four principles of an integrated pest management (IPM) program?

1.Prevention and Control – prioritise proactive methods to exclude pests in the first place including physical barriers and non-toxic traps, natural repellents, electronic technology, good hygiene protocols and biological controls.

2.Set action thresholds: determining at what point pest controls are necessary, often based on an economic threat or health risk.

3.Identify and monitor pests – regular monitoring is crucial to accurately identify the pest present and correct identification is key to choosing the most effective control methods.

4.Minimum use of pesticides – Chemical pesticides are used as a last resort when other methods are proven ineffective. When used they are applied in a targeted manner with the safest products and minimum effective dose to reduce risks to humans and the environment.

What are examples of sustainable pest control practices?

Examples of sustainable pest control measures include sealing entry points and creating physical barriers to deny entry to pests, use of humane non-toxic traps, LED UV electronic fly killers, natural predators, pesticide free materials and natural repellents.

Heat treatments can be used to eliminate a variety of common insects such as bed bugs without the use of traditional insecticides.
