Definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
A method of approaching pest problems using an analysis of all situations from a holistic stand point. We emphasize change in physical and cultural practices and careful monitoring.
How Pest Problems Are Identified
By physical sightings reported by facility employees, by evidence collected, by glue traps/monitors, by pheromone traps, etc. Before controls are implemented, the pest is identified. We try to find their source and effect sanitation and maintenance changes to remove and prevent future infestations. If, after these efforts are finished, it is still necessary to apply any chemical, only least toxic chemicals are used.
