A Few Words About Strategy
The pest control portion of the catalog consists of seven sections arranged
in an order that takes a stepped approach to pest control. First, find out
what the problem is and why you have it. Second, use the appropriate level
of control. Finally, evaluate your solution and determine what may have
caused the problem. This final step of evaluation can lead you toward preventative
actions to avoid the same problems in the future.
