Definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
IPM, stands for integrated pest management. It's a buzz word often displayed in a pyramid as it was intended to be a step-wise approach to dealing with pests through the integration - or combination - of strategies that would pose minimal risk to the environment, with harmful pesticides being a last resort. While IPM was based on ecological principles inspired by Rachael Carson, today, IPM means very little in the way of ecological soundness - with no formal definition - no standards or certification - no regulation or accountability - the term is used broadly and, unfortunately, can mean just about anything. Instead, we refer to the foundational principles of IPM, often referred to as Ecological Pest Management, as our guide. Which is a holistic approach, that considers the “bigger picture”, and uses preventive strategies that supports biodiversity, along with encouraging tolerance for pests at acceptable levels, with the least harmful pesticides acceptable ONLY after all no-poison steps have failed, and even then, only acceptable for a short finite time period. That's how we roll (except we don't ever use harmful chemicals/poisons - ever).

Practices Used to Prevent or Control Pests
Exclusion, habitat modification, sanitation, with rodents, we do live-catch and release ON THE PROPERTY so we can have them test the work we did. See if they can get back in. I believe we may have been the first in the country to actually do this, commercially.
