Data processing centers, computer rooms, banks and technological facilities, control rooms, scientific laboratories, etc., present unique challenges to pest management programs. The presence of pests may lead to

• damaged equipment and circuitry.
• loss of data.
• customer and employee dissatisfaction.
• additional problems.

Instead of a traditional approach, Cook's uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles in Office Complex/Computer Facilities. These principles consist of exclusion and other control procedures such as

• trapping.
• monitoring.
• installing insect light traps.
• eliminating insect harborage by caulking suspect cracks and crevices.

As pest problems are eliminated on the inside, Cook's outdoor preventive service keeps pests from returning. This perimeter protection system uses exclusion, trapping and baiting techniques combined with the use of specially selected products applied to the perimeter of the building. This perimeter barrier stops pests from entering the structure. Since most of the work is performed on the outside, the service is not disruptive to customers, employees and guests.

Cook's approach to pest management in Office Complex/Computer Facilities provides experience and knowledge of pest control in sensitive environments. Considering the damage that could result from traditional methods, this service makes sense.
