Environmental Sensitivity

• If you havent already heard about Integrated
  Pest Management, or IPM, dont feel left out. A
  fairly new approach to pest control, the goal
  here is to provide effective control in an
  environmentally sensitive manner.
• Through several common sense methods, pest
  control professionals can help you manage the
  pest both from an economically safe and
  environmentally concerned standpoint. The best
  part is that it can be used in the home, your
  garden, the office, or even on todays biggest
  farms.

A Look at IPM in Practice

• Not sure how IPM might work on your property?
  There are really three basic steps to any IPM
  approach
• Actionable Thresholds
• Monitoring
• Taking Steps for the Future
• Control

Setting Actionable Thresholds

• The first step to a solid IPM approach looks at
  your tolerance level. Your pest control
  professional will help set an actionable
  threshold with you. Thats the point where the
  pests or the conditions around your home suggest
  action has to be taken.
• For example, seeing one mouse near a tree
  twenty-five feet from your home doesnt
  necessarily constitute the need for a full scale
  rodent team to eliminate all traces of them from
  your property. Understanding the level where
  pests become a real threat is key to the success.

Monitoring Pests

• Once youve had a chance to talk with your
  Worcester pest control professional about when to
  take action, its time to sit back and wait.
• Together, the two of you will look at the insects
  and other pests that need to be monitored on a
  regular basis. This step is essential, as not all
  problems need to be approached from a pesticide
  standpoint.

Taking Steps for the Future

• One of the biggest parts of any IPM program is to
  make sure you do not have a pest infestation on
  your hands. Your pest control expert will look at
  a variety of pest control methods, like sealing
  parts of your house, repairing damage from water
  leaks, making sure you have a well balanced
  landscape, and blocking access to potential entry
  points.

Control

• In the event that you do have a problem, your
  pest control company will work with you to find
  the most effective, least risky method. Theyll
  work with highly targeted materials to come up
  with a way to eliminate your pests safely.

It Starts With You

• An IPM approach depends on you. Choosing
  providers who practice safer pest management can
  help you avoid the use of dangerous pesticides,
  but you have to take those important first steps.
