Integrated pest management for airports
The most effective, long-term way to manage pests in airports is by using a combination of different methods that work together to ensure the pests do not return. Below are the four primary tactical approaches that can be deployed. Depending on the particular pest problem, and its location, we’ll deliver a combination of these methods to not only eliminate pests, but also prevent reoccurrence.
Biological controls
Biological control is the use of the pests’ ‘natural enemies’ to eliminate them in a human safe way. This might include natural predators such as hawks being used to hunt pigeons, or heat treatments to destroy fleas, cockroaches, bed bugs or moths. Biological pest controls can often provide a more effective and safer alternative to chemical methods.
Cultural controls
Cultural control is about understanding what operational procedures are contributing to the pest’s ability to thrive and making some modifications to the way things are done. For example, through our free assessment, you’ll learn how the pest gains access to food and water in the aviation environment, and if applicable, we will recommend better practices to limit this access.
Physical controls
Mechanical or physical controls can either kill a pest directly, block the pests from entering, or make the environment uninhabitable for them. Examples of physical control include traps used for rodents, or bird spikes to make pigeon roosting impossible. It also involves identifying how pests enter the premises, and blocking the entry points where feasible.
Chemical controls
Chemical control is the use of pesticides. We only use chemicals if they are the most effective method, and they are always used in combination with other approaches as part of a long-term solution. We know that most of our customers ask for non-toxic pest control, which is why, for most pest types, we have higher-impact, non-chemical treatments available. Where chemicals are needed we use them in a highly controlled and safe way.
