At ATCO Pest Control, pest control isn’t about spraying and hoping for the best. It’s about solving problems intelligently. Our services are designed to be strategic, thoughtful, and environmentally responsible—protecting your home and health while delivering real, lasting results.

We’re proud to offer an EcoWise Certified service built on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. If you’re looking for a better way to keep pests under control, here’s how we do it differently.

Prevention Is the First and Most Important Step

We believe the most effective pest solutions begin with prevention.
That means stopping infestations before they start by identifying and removing the conditions that attract pests in the first place.

Our team:

• Inspects for entry points and vulnerabilities

• Addresses food, moisture, and shelter sources

• Recommends smart fixes to make your space less appealing to pests

“We solve pest problems at the source—not just on the surface.”

No Calendar Spray Routine—We Treat Based on Need

Unlike traditional companies that use a one-size-fits-all schedule, we don’t treat unless there’s a reason to.
Our technicians make decisions based on pest activity, inspection data, and your concerns—not the calendar.

This approach:

• Helps reduce over-application of products

• Targets specific issues instead of generalizing

• Respects your environment, both inside and outside

Certified, Low-Impact Materials Only When Necessary

As an EcoWise Certified provider, ATCO follows strict guidelines that prioritize prevention and limit the use of chemical products.

We:

• Use non-chemical methods first, like trapping, sealing, vacuuming, and habitat modification

• Apply materials only when non-chemical options can’t do the job alone

• Choose products that meet high standards for human and environmental impact

And when a treatment is warranted, we use it:

• In small, focused areas (cracks, voids, bait stations)

• With precision tools that avoid drift or runoff

• In ways that minimize risk to pollinators and beneficial wildlife

Our Technicians Are IPM Professionals

Each ATCO branch employs a Certified IPM Practitioner—a trained expert who personally:

• Inspects properties and identifies pest-conducive conditions

• Writes site-specific IPM plans

• Oversees or implements all treatments

• Continually evaluates results and adjusts strategies

This isn’t “set it and forget it” pest control—

It’s a living, evolving process guided by knowledge and care.

We Work With You—Not Around You

True pest control success requires teamwork.

That’s why we always:

• Explain what we found, what we recommend, and why

• Provide action steps you can take to support prevention

• Share written inspection results and treatment details

• Check in regularly to ensure long-term results

Whether you’re dealing with ants, rodents, cockroaches, termites, or yellowjackets, our goal is to resolve the issue in a way that aligns with your home, your values, and your lifestyle.
