The four pillars of our integrated pest management program
The Pestora IPM program is built on four interconnected components: rigorous inspection, continuous monitoring, targeted preventive treatments, and complete documentation for your sector audits.
Regular inspection
Inspections scheduled at the frequency your sector requires: monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. Complete assessment of your facilities and their evolution over time.
Continuous monitoring
Exterior bait stations, interior monitoring traps, and pest activity indicators installed strategically to detect any activity before it becomes an infestation.
Targeted preventive treatments
Proactive application of Health Canada-approved products following IPM principles, minimizing pesticide use while maximizing prevention of identified risks.
Auditable documentation
Rapports d'inspection, fiches d'intervention et historique complet de votre site, conformes aux exigences HACCP, AIB, GFSI et MAPAQ et prêts pour vos audits sectoriels.
Who our integrated pest management program is for
Restaurants, hotels, food plants, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and property managers: IPM is built for organizations that can’t afford an infestation or a regulatory misstep.
Restaurants and hospitality
MAPAQ compliance, reputation protection, and operational continuity. The IPM program is the recommended option for restaurant chains and hotel complexes.
Food processing plants
Mandatory HACCP, AIB, and GFSI compliance. The IPM program provides the auditable documentation and traceability required by international food certifications.
Warehouses and logistics
High volume, constant goods movement, and large perimeters: the IPM program delivers the kind of continuous protection one-time interventions can’t match.
Healthcare facilities
Clinics, long-term care centres, seniors’ residences, and medical centres. The IPM program protects vulnerable populations and supports your hygiene and sanitation protocols.
Rental buildings and condos
For property managers and condo boards, the IPM program prevents infestations that spread between units and become expensive to control after the fact.
discreet intervention
IPM program or one-time interventions: what's the difference?
Understand what changes when you move from a reactive approach to a structured preventive one.
Planned, continuous approach
- Inspections scheduled throughout the year
- Continuous monitoring via bait stations and monitoring traps
- Problems detected before they become visible
- Documentation ready for your sector audits
- Predictable, budgetable annual cost
- Continuous regulatory compliance
- Long-term relationship with a team that knows your facility
Piecemeal reactive approach
- Visit only when a problem is found
- No monitoring between interventions
- Often detected late, once the infestation is visible
- Documentation limited to the intervention performed
- Unpredictable cost depending on the severity of the problem
- Risk of non-compliance between visits
- Limited knowledge of your facility's pest history
The annual cycle of our integrated pest management program
Four structured steps repeated annually to keep your facilities pest-free and compliant with your sector’s regulatory requirements.
01/ Inspection
Exhaustive assessment of your facilities, identifying risk areas, infiltration points, and conditions favorable to infestations. Drafting a personalized action plan.
02/ Program setup
Installation of exterior bait stations, interior monitoring devices, and initial preventive measures. Baseline documentation of your facilities.
03/ Monitoring and scheduled interventions
Regular visits per the agreed schedule, inspection of monitoring devices, preventive adjustments, and targeted interventions if pest activity is detected.
04/ Annual audit and renewal
Complete annual review of program performance, improvement recommendations, documentation update for your sector audits, and contract renewal for the following year.
The Pestora IPM program is designed to produce the exact documentation your sector auditors require. Our inspection reports, intervention records, and traceability logs meet the requirements of the major food audit frameworks: HACCP, AIB International, GFSI, and Quebec’s MAPAQ requirements. All our products are Health Canada-approved and applied by technicians certified by Quebec’s Ministry of Environment. Every client file is structured to answer an inspector’s standard questions: who intervened, when, where, with what products, at what dosage, with what results, and with what consecutive preventive recommendations.

What exactly is integrated pest management?
Integrated pest management (IPM), also called integrated pest control, is a preventive, structured approach to managing pests. It combines regular inspection, continuous monitoring, targeted preventive treatments, and complete documentation, rather than only intervening when a problem appears.
How many visits per year are included in the program?
Frequency depends on your sector and regulatory requirements. A food processing plant under HACCP, AIB, or GFSI certification may need monthly visits, while a rental building may be well served by quarterly visits. The schedule is set jointly with you during the initial inspection.
Which sectors benefit most from the IPM program?
Regulated sectors benefit most: restaurants, hotels, food processing plants, warehouses, distribution centres, healthcare facilities (clinics, long-term care centres, seniors’ residences), daycares, schools, and rental buildings or condos managed by real estate professionals.
Is it more expensive than a one-off intervention?
On a single visit, yes. Over a year — and especially over several years — no: the IPM program prevents major infestations that cost many times the price of a preventive program. For regulated sectors, IPM is also the only way to maintain the continuous compliance your auditors require.
Does the program cover every type of pest?
Yes. The IPM program covers every pest that may affect your facilities: rodents (mice, rats, voles), insects (cockroaches, ants, pantry moths, carpet beetles, weevils, German cockroaches), wildlife (pigeons, raccoons), and any other pest relevant to your sector.
What is the minimum contract length?
Our IPM contracts are typically annual with automatic renewal, aligning with the audit cycle and pest seasonality. Shorter commitments are possible depending on your situation, but the program’s effectiveness depends on its continuity and adaptation over time.
What happens if an infestation occurs despite the program?
Any corrective intervention required between scheduled visits is included in your program, at no additional cost during the covered period. Our commitment: if pests come back, we return until complete elimination, in line with your written warranty.
How do I start an integrated pest management program?
Onboarding includes a free consultation, a complete inspection of your facilities, the development of a personalized program, and the presentation of a detailed quote. This entire phase is no-obligation. Once the program is accepted, implementation typically begins within the next two to three weeks.
