BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Pest control is a vital aspect of maintaining a clean and safe home.

Rats, cockroaches, termites, wasps, moles and other pests can do damage to not just your home or property, but to your health and well-being as well.

In recent years, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has become a more sustainable and holistic approach to pest control in commercial and residential properties. The idea behind IPM is to minimize the economic, health and environmental risks associated with traditional pest control tactics.

“Our focus is on implementing environmentally friendly practices that prioritize the health and safety of our clients while effectively managing pest populations” said Bio Bug president Steve Cornwell, A.C.E.

Integrated Pest Management works for most pests including different bugs and insects, birds, and rodents like moles and rats.

Bio Bug, a Pest Management company based in Whatcom County, uses IPM to help ensure a more long-term solution across the region. Bio Bug states, “Rather than simply spraying chemicals and pesticides on a regular basis, this process focuses on long-term solutions that are less toxic to the environment.”
