I.P.M. (Integrated Pest Management)
A well defined Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan is a customized program that is based on prevention, monitoring, and management which offers the opportunity to eliminate or scale down the use of pesticides. IPM is characterized as follows:
- Integrated - all appropriate types of management methods are contemplated and combined as pertinent to the facility interior and exterior environments to solve your pest problem.
- Pest- survey determining the insects, rodents, and/or wildlife that are a nuisance and can cause injury to you and/or your property.
- Management - systematic application of program to keep pests from reaching unendurable levels.
