What Is Integrated Pest Management?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a process used to resolve pest problems while minimizing risks to people and the environment. This ecosystem-based strategy focuses on the long-term prevention of pests through a combination of techniques, including biological controls, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and resistant plant varieties.
Pesticides are only used once monitoring indicates they are needed. Baltimore IPM from Scientific Plant Service is designed to minimize the risks to human health, beneficial organisms, and your environment while removing irritating pests.
