Integrated Pest Management

IPM involves controlling pests by the most practical mechanical, physical, cultural, or biological methods first. It finally resorts, if necessary, to the judicial use of chemical control with the least harm to people and the environment. It involves preplanned steps of attack to continually keep pest populations below intolerable levels. Strategies for maintaining pest populations will be influenced by the pest species and whether or not that species poses a threat to people, property, or the environment. IPM procedures will determine when to control pests and whether practitioners are expected to use current comprehensive information on the pest and its environment and the best available pest control method.
