Integrated Pest Management or IPM – as the techies like to say

IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on the prevention of pests or their damage through the techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. IPM is a process we use to solve pest problems while minimizing risk. Using IPM around your home and property creates conditions unfavorable for pests. So here is the break-down:

  1. Exclusion or elimination of all possible entry points to your house.

 2. The use of snap traps or live traps

 3. Remove harborage – the shelter or protection for pests

 4. Remove food sources such as bird feeders, compost piles, pet food and  fruit on the ground

 5. The use of chemicals in the safest possible manner
