Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that takes advantage of all pest management options including sanitation/cultural controls, physical/mechanical controls, biological controls, and pesticides. It considers pest control strategies that are the least hazardous or disruptive to human and environmental health and well being, cuts down liability and expense, and seeks to be a long term solution.
