Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
According to the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the gold standard in pest control is Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that utilizes comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This, in combination with the best available pest control methods, resolves pest infestations efficiently, effectively, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. Cowleys has been a strong proponent of IPM for many years. Its treatment protocols from carpenter ants to termites to the wide variety of pantry pest and lawn beetles has been IPM-based. IPM has been field-tested time and time again to show that it works and the traditional indiscriminate spraying of the past is ineffective. IPM saves clients money in reduced application costs. More importantly, the preventative and exclusionary measures of IPM provide solid long-term results instead of the short-term temporary fixes achieved through the exclusive focus of chemical applications. IPM and the pest control industry is analogous to going to a doctor and being treated for just the symptoms instead of getting to the root cause of the problem. IPM addresses the underlying infestation problem.
IPM has also been the foundation upon which Cowleys has progressively expanded its services in order to better service its customers i
n a holistic, comprehensive way. Perhaps one of the best examples of IPM expanding Cowleys’ services is moisture control. Moisture is one of the homeowner’s worst enemies. A host of problems in the home can be traced to excessive moisture including pest control, mold growth, and property damage from wood that has been infiltrated and weakened by water.
Moisture is The Enemy
We would all have many more insects in our homes if were not for the fact that most insects die soon after they get inside because of our dry indoor conditions. But, if you increase areas of high humidity in your home through poor ventilation, poor outdoor drainage, condensation, plumbing leaks, or roof leaks, insects not only survive indoors – they thrive! For soft-bodied insects like termites, high moisture levels are a necessity for survival. Wood-damaging insects like carpenter ants begin their infestations in damp, softened wood. Tiny springtails can live happily indoors feeding on mold growing on damp surfaces.
Gutter Protection by Cowleys
In our efforts to reduce pest infestations and maintain the investment in homes, Cowleys has instituted a variety of services aimed at reducing and preventing dangerous moisture buildup. For example, our gutter protection surface has helped homeowners improve gutter and downspout drainage which is essential to directing roof water away from the house. Accumulated stagnated water in the gutters from leaf accumulation not only damages roof structures but can also keeps water around the foundation of the house resulting in wet basements and crawl spaces. And that translates into mold and musty odors.
Crawlspace Solutions by Cowleys
Cowleys also offers crawlspace encapsulation to keep that trouble-prone area of the house moisture-free. With an encapsulated crawlspace, 
homeowners have the benefit of not having wildlife enter they favorite spot. Encapsulation has stopped many a pest infestations right in their tracks. Unprotected crawlspaces are virtual incubators for insects. Crawlspace encapsulation stops pest infestations and potential nuisance wildlife problems cold by completely shutting off a popular avenue of entry into your home.
It’s an overused expression to say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but in the case of crawlspace encapsulation it’s true. Encapsulation puts your crawlspace under lock and key with an armed security guard. And once encapsulated, a homeowner need no longer worry about crawlspace flooding and dangerous moisture buildup that can lead to dangerous fungus and mold problems. And it’s an added bonus that with an encapsulated crawlspace, a homeowner need no longer worry about what animals or insects are festering underneath your home waiting to cause havoc. Gutter protection and crawlspace encapusaltion are two examples of Cowleys’ IPM preventative approach. We will continue to look for ways that will better service our customers.
Protection of Investment
Our long-term strategic objective at Cowleys is to offer homeowners a diverse selection of preventative IPM services and treatments that would turn their homes into virtual fortresses against insects and wildlife. With such a proactive “protection of investment” approach, we would rarely need go to a home to get rid of an existing pest infestation and if we did, the infestation would be a minor one. But until that time, as long as homes are not protected from pests, Cowleys stands ready to aggressively tackle any and all pest or wildlife infestations that come our way.
