Mint Hill, NC Pest Control: Enjoy Pest-free Living

The Persistence of Pests

Pests are a tenacious enemy. Though small, their numbers are overwhelming and exhausting. Most people start out using DIY chemical sprays purchased over the counter at a home improvement store. Soon, the annoying insects or noxious rodents are back - with a vengeance. Find a better, more permanent solution with Croach®.

Croach® Fights Pest for You

Residents of Mint Hill appreciate the rural and suburban character of their chosen habitat. They also love wildlife and the natural environment that surrounds them. But they’re sick and tired of dealing with persistent pests!

Mint Hill homeowners know that more poisons and chemicals aren’t working. They worry that the poisons could be hazardous to their families and pets and deadly to beneficial insects and animals.

That’s why Croach® has expanded their territory around Charlotte. We understand the desire to protect the environment while exterminating pest infestations. Here’s how we do it.

Integrated Pest Control in Mint Hill

What makes Croach® so budget-friendly yet so effective? We use integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, which are the same methods embraced by the EPA and the NC State Extension. IPM is a multi-pronged approach to managing pests that combines several methods into a single customized strategy, allowing us to reduce the use of chemicals in and around your home.

IPM Strategies

The strategies of IPM are called ‘controls’ or ‘methods’. They are:

Cultural controls: This is your first line of defense against infestations. It's being meticulous about cleaning spills, emptying water from vessels, vacuuming, and keeping your home tidy.
Your Croach® techs can alert you to any problems they observe that might be contributing to the infestation such as stagnant water collecting in a bucket near your back door.
Biological controls: This refers using a pest’s natural enemies. In the case of your home, you may have a cat who catches mice. Horse owners release insect predators to eat fly larvae.
Mechanical controls: An example of a mechanical control is a trap, as used to catch rats, cockroaches and other insects.
Physical controls: Your Croach® technician knows where to look for cracks or holes that specific pests use to enter your home and property. Exclusion means the breach will be blocked to prevent pests from getting in.
Chemical controls: As noted, this is the last resort, used to get a serious infestation under control quickly. Croach® is licensed to use powerful chemicals in a safe manner. When possible, we use bait stations. Sprays are selectively targeted to the source of the infestation.
