Pest problems rarely appear out of nowhere — they develop, spread, and escalate over time. Ongoing pest monitoring is the practice of routinely inspecting, recording, and analyzing signs of pest activity (live pests, droppings, damage, bait/trap captures, environmental conditions) rather than waiting for visible outbreaks. Unlike one-off treatments, an ongoing program creates a continuous feedback…
