Partnership

Control and prevention of pest infestations at the wide scope of facilities we service requires a cooperative effort, a partnership, between all facility personnel and Gregory.  By creating a strong partnership, we create a team in which we work together closely with you to achieve our goal of keeping your environment pest free. The key to the success of the partnership is two-way communication and documentation.

Partnership Responsibilities

Working in partnership with Gregory, our clients shared responsibilities fall into three areas.  First is the maintenance of high standards of sanitation, which includes thorough cleaning on a regular schedule. Secondly, communication of pest sightings and documentation in the Pest Sighting Log is a key part of the success of any program.  Thirdly, if any preparations, repairs, or the need to arrange for special access to areas is required prior to treatment, it is the client’s responsibility to make sure that these contingencies are taken care of.

The responsibility of the Gregory Service personnel also falls into three categories.  First, we will thoroughly inspect the facility to determine if pest issues exist. Monitoring of these areas will be provided, as well as documentation of location and type of any pest issues. Secondly we will develop treatment strategies that utilize the least amount of the least toxic material available to control pest issues.  Thirdly, we will provide up to date, complete documentation and information for the facility.  If any sanitation issues or structural deficiencies are noted during the inspection, it will be noted on the service report.


G Smart

G Smart™ is Gregory’s innovative Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. This program has six steps our technicians utilize to give you the best pest control possible. These six steps have the goal of perpetuating the functions of IPM which are pest identification, pest monitoring, determining the economic injury level (or when the pest becomes a problem) and deciding the best pest control strategies.

  • Inspecting Extensively: Our technicians perform thorough inspections to identify problem areas and places pests could be hiding.
  • Eliminating Sustaining Elements: Our inspection will help pin point sustaining elements that contribute to a pest’s presence such as harborage points or moisture. From there, we will make recommendations to our client on what should be done to eliminate these issues.
  • Excluding Pests: Pests have entry points into your home just like humans. These entry ways may be small, but they can – and should – be remedied. During the inspection, our experts keep their eyes peeled for potential entryways, and then notify the customer about any issues.
  • Monitoring Activity: If we find pests, we will first work with you to eliminate sustaining elements and undergo exclusion methods. We then monitor pest activity using various techniques to decide whether other control methods are needed.
  • Evaluating Control Measures: Sometimes, it can take more than exclusion methods to get rid of a stubborn pest. All Gregory technicians undergo extensive training and are required to complete a monthly training course known as Gregory University. This continuous education lets you rest easy knowing any technician of ours is qualified to correctly and safely apply pest control products in your home.
  • Documenting Consistently: Documentation is a crucial part of any IPM program. It works together with all other parts of the program and lets our customers see progress. We use documentation as a point of reference to support the monitoring of pest activity. This can help our technicians see which technique works best with your specific pest issue, and lets our customers know that we are working toward getting your pest problems solved.

By choosing Gregory, clients enter into a partnership based on communication. Gregory technicians will notify homeowners and clients about structural issues or other elements that contribute to the presence of pests, but it is up to the customer to fix these issues and communicate any pest sightings to their technician.
