McCloud Services Keeps Your Facility Pest Free

At McCloud Services, we believe the most responsible and efficient method of pest management is keeping pests out of your facility from the start of service. That’s why our integrated pest management programs are based on targeting specific exterior pest risks associated with the time of year. We focus our resources on exact areas of risk, resulting in cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally sound pest management.

Mosquito Breeding Management

Mosquito breeding management involves treating all standing bodies of water, as well as pooling water following heavy rainfall, with a larvicide to prevent the emergence of adult mosquitoes. Treatment is effective for all species of mosquitoes including “Culex Pipiens,” the carrier of West Nile Virus.

Bird Management & Exclusion

Effective bird management strategies, even for smaller facilities, are often multifaceted. They must be flexible to accommodate changes in bird behavior and seasonal circumstances.

Occasional Invaders

Occasional invaders are pests that normally live and breed outside of structures but occasionally come indoors. However, general interior conditions do not support the long-term growth and survival of these pests. Depending on the sensitivity of the site, the pest status can range from nuisance pest to pest of concern. The first line of defense is management on the exterior. Management techniques include the proper use of landscaping materials, moisture management, exclusion, lighting controls, and chemical control.

Bees & Wasps

Although beneficial in nature, bees and wasps pose potential problems. These insects may be attracted to structures because of spilled or discarded food. They may build nests on or inside structural elements. Sanitation, exclusion, structural modifications, trapping, and nest destruction are typical components of a stinging insect management program.

Weed Management

Weed management and proper selection of landscaping materials around the facility are important elements of pest prevention. Weeds can provide harborage and food for rodents and insects. Certain types of landscaping materials and vegetation are more conducive to pest development than others. Your McCloud Services’ Specialist can provide recommendations regarding the elimination of landscaping conditions that are conducive to pests.
