The goal of IPM is to manage pests effectively while reducing adverse effects on people, non-targeted organisms, and the environment.

Regardless of the type of commercial operation you run, IPM takes the same core approach to your pest problem:

• Identifying pests before taking action
• Creating monitoring guidelines for each different pest, including numbers, damage, and when to act
• Establishing a plan of action for each identified pest
• Implementing pest control tactics using a combination of physical and chemical tools
• Continuously evaluate control tactics and adjust as needed
• Evaluating and documenting results/effectiveness
