Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the Eastern Cape & Gauteng
Integrated Pest Management is the internationally recognised gold standard for pest control and it underpins every ASC programme. Rather than defaulting to pesticide application, IPM begins with a thorough site inspection to identify pest pressures, entry points, harbourage areas and conducive conditions. From there a structured cycle of monitoring, proofing, sanitation guidance and targeted treatment is implemented. Chemical intervention is used only when monitoring data justifies it, and always at the lowest effective concentration. Every step is documented, producing the audit trail that HACCP, BRCGS and FSSC 22000 inspectors require.
- Comprehensive site inspection & risk assessment
- Structural proofing & exclusion recommendations
- Monitoring device installation & site mapping
- Targeted, low-impact treatment only when justified
- Monthly trend reporting & corrective-action logs
- Staff hygiene & housekeeping guidance

Lower long-term cost
Proofing and monitoring reduce repeat infestations and emergency call-outs over time.
Our integrated pest management process
Every programme follows a clear, repeatable sequence and every step is documented.
- Inspect. A trained technician surveys the site to map pest pressures, entry points and conducive conditions.
- Proof & sanitise. We recommend exclusion and housekeeping fixes that remove the root causes pesticides can't.
- Monitor. Numbered monitoring devices are installed and mapped to build objective activity data.
- Treat & review. Targeted treatment is applied only where data justifies it, then reviewed in monthly trend reports.

Integrated Pest Management, common questions
What is Integrated Pest Management?
IPM is a structured, evidence-based approach that combines inspection, exclusion, sanitation, monitoring and targeted treatment, using chemicals only as a last resort and at the lowest effective dose.
Is IPM suitable for food and beverage sites?
Yes. IPM is the expected standard for HACCP, BRCGS and FSSC 22000 facilities because it produces the documentation and trend data auditors require.
How often are visits scheduled?
Frequency is risk-based, typically monthly for food and healthcare sites, quarterly for lower-risk environments. We confirm a schedule after the initial assessment.
Do you service both the Eastern Cape and Gauteng?
Yes. We operate across Gqeberha and the wider Eastern Cape, with coverage in Gauteng.
