Understanding Integrated Pest Management (IPM) | Effective & Eco-Friendly Control


Integrated Pest Management isn't just about spraying less; it's a strategic, science-based approach used by Schultz Pest Control in Roaring Spring, PA. It involves several key steps:

  • Inspection & Identification: Thoroughly inspecting the property to identify the specific pest(s), determine the extent of the infestation, and locate entry points, food sources, water sources, and nesting sites. Accurate identification is crucial.
  • Monitoring: Continuously monitoring pest populations using traps or visual checks to understand their numbers and activity patterns. This helps determine if and when action is needed.
  • Establishing Action Thresholds: Deciding at what point a pest population becomes problematic and requires intervention. A few ants outside might be acceptable, but a trail inside requires action. This avoids unnecessary treatments.
  • Utilizing Multiple Control Methods (The Core of IPM):Cultural Controls: Modifying environments or practices. Example: Improving sanitation to remove food sources for cockroaches, adjusting watering schedules to reduce moisture attractive to some pests.Physical/Mechanical Controls: Using barriers, traps, or physical removal. Example: Sealing cracks (exclusion) to keep rodents out, using snap traps, installing door sweeps.Biological Controls: Using natural enemies (predators, parasites). More common in agricultural settings but sometimes applicable (e.g., encouraging beneficial insects).Chemical Controls: Using pesticides judiciously only when necessary and other methods are insufficient. This involves selecting the least-toxic, most targeted product (baits, gels, crack-and-crevice treatments) and applying it precisely where needed, minimizing exposure to people, pets, and the Roaring Spring, PA environment.
  • Evaluation: Regularly assessing the effectiveness of the chosen control methods and adjusting the strategy as needed based on monitoring results.IPM provides effective, long-lasting pest control for Roaring Spring, PA properties while minimizing risks associated with pesticide overuse. Schultz Pest Control is committed to this responsible approach.

Roaring Spring, PA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

Roaring Spring was established around the Big Spring in Morrison's Cove, a clean and dependable water source vital to the operation of a paper mill. Prior to 1866, when the first paper mill was built, Roaring Spring had been a grist mill hamlet with a country store at the intersection of two rural roads that lead to the mill near the spring. A grist mill, powered by the spring water, had operated at that location since at least the 1760s. After 1867, as the paper mill expanded, surrounding tracts of land were acquired to accommodate housing development for new workers. The formalization of a town plan, however, never occurred. As a result, the seemingly random street pattern of the historic district is the product of hilly topography, a small network of pre-existing country roads that converged near the Big Spring, and the property lines of adjacent tracts that were acquired through the years for community expansion. The arterial streets of the district are now East Main, West Main, Spang and Bloomfield, each of which leads out of the borough to surrounding townships. Two of these streets — Spang and East Main — meet with Church Street at the district's main intersection called "Five Points." The boundaries of the district essentially include those portions of Roaring Spring Borough which had been laid out for development by the early 1920s. This area encompasses 233 acres (0.94 km2) or 55 percent of the borough's area of 421 acres (1.70 km2). Since the district's period of significance extends to 1944, most of those buildings erected after the 1920s were built as infill within the areas already subdivided by the 1920s. In the early 1960s, the borough began to annex sections of adjacent Taylor Township, especially to the east around the then new Rt. 36 Bypass.
