Definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
IPM is an inspection, monitoring and a mechanical process that is used along with an action threshold program. An application of a pesticide is made only as a last resort.
How Pest Problems Are Identified
We monitor with traps. If the action threshold is exceeded and sanitation or repairs are not the problem, baits and mechanical controls are used first to regain control.
