Integrated Pest Management

Integrated Pest Management Solutions (IPM) and why does Enviro-Wise adopt the strategy?

Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is an approach to pest control that utilizes regular monitoring to determine if treatments are needed. IPM employs physical, mechanical, cultural, biological, and educational tactics to keep pest numbers low enough to prevent unacceptable damage or annoyance.

In IPM programs, treatments are not made according to a predetermined schedule. Instead, they are made only when and where monitoring has indicated that the pest will cause unacceptable economic, medical, or aesthetic damage. Treatments are chosen and timed to be most effective and least-hazardous to non-target organisms and the general environment.
