IPM does not mean you cannot apply a product to control pest populations.
Excludes making routine applications for purely preventive measures.
Excludes applications for aesthetic purposes.
Allows the use of “Low-Risk” products.

What is IPM?(Integrated Pest Management)
IPM is a four level, decision making process.
Use these questions to solve the pest problem:
1. Can I stop the pest from getting in? (Exclusion/Access denial)
2. Can I change the environment to make it less inviting to the pest? (Habitat and harborage modification)
3. Can I stop the pest with a trap? (Physical and Mechanical trapping)
4. Can I control the pest with a product? (Limited product application)
