Bulwark Pest Control Review (2023)

Bulwark Exterminating Services

Bulwark’s services mostly involve the use of the “Bulwark Barrier,” which is a protective line of prevention that works to keep pests out of your home and to kill any existing infestations you may already currently have. Their website does not make their services clear or outline any service plans in detail. We do know that their general services cover these pests:

• Ants
• Cockroaches
• Earwigs
• Fleas
• Flies
• Grasshoppers
• Mice
• Millipedes
• Moths
• Pillbugs
• Rats
• Scorpions
• Spiders
• Rats

Additionally, they offer specialty plans for termites, ticks, and mosquitos. Bulwark Exterminating does not offer bed bug services.

Green Pest Control:

Bulwark claims that its services are environmentally friendly and disparages other companies’ use of the term “green,” claiming that the term can be applied to many different treatments that aren’t actually natural, good for the environment or non-toxic. Bulwark uses EcoSMART products, a brand of pesticides that are safe for the environment and incorporate treatments derived from nature, like essential plant oils and flower-based products like pyrethrins. 

Pyrethrins are natural insecticides made from chrysanthemum flowers. The oil of the flower is extracted and turned into a solvent or powder, which is then combined with other chemicals. The pyrethrins attack an insect’s nervous system, while the other chemicals make the solvent lethal for a wide range of insects. Because pyrethrins have a short residual life meant to remain only to eliminate the target pest, the use of pyrethrins reduces the risk of harming any other insects.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Approach:

For reducing pest populations and overall pest control, Bulwark uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Approach. This IPM approach addresses the control of pests economically by considering several different pest control techniques. IPM’s aim is to manage pest populations while reducing risks to both human and environmental health. This approach is considered mostly natural and typically utilizes non-chemical barrier and elimination methods. In some instances, pesticides are combined with other methods of control like trap and removal for the most effective results.

Termite Services:

The Bulwark Exterminating website explains the process they use to rid your home of termites this way:

• A Bulwark technician installs termite bait stations around your home.
• Termites then find the bait stations and bring the bait back to their colony
• The colony eats the bait which destroys the nest.
• Bulwark technicians regularly check these bait stations to replenish the bait as necessary.
