Why use Integrated Pest Management

IPM programs are designed to reduce health hazards to the people that inhabit the building or structures.

IPM programs accomplish this by using approaches such as sanitation, baiting for pests, trapping pests, and monitoring for pests and using the least hazardous/ least toxic pesticides when the need is demonstrated.

By having an IPM program in place, you are taking special protective measures to reduce pesticide exposure to non-pest organisms and the environment.
