a IPM pest management program.
What is integrated pest
management (IPM)? Integrated pest management is a widely accepted
approach to pest management that results in effective suppression of pest
populations while minimizing human health and environmental hazards. A pest
management strategy that focuses on long-term prevention or suppression of pest
problems through a combination of techniques such as monitoring for pest
presence and establishing treatment threshold levels, using non-chemical
practices to make the habitat less conducive to pest development, improving
sanitation, and employing mechanical and physical controls. Pesticides that
pose the least possible hazard and are effective in a manner that minimizes
risks to people, property, and the environment, are used only after careful
monitoring indicates they are needed according to pre-established guidelines
and treatment thresholds." Back to Tree Services
