Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a prevention-based pest management method that provides long-lasting pest control, improves building conditions and is less harmful to residents and pets than traditional pest control.
Whereas traditional pest control relies on regularly scheduled pesticide applications, IPM targets the underlying causes of pest infestations through simple pest proofing strategies such as fixing leaks and holes and managing garbage to deprive pests of food, water, shelter and ways to get around. If pesticides must be used, IPM uses the least toxic chemicals, applied in the safest manner to protect people and pets.
Using IPM in your building can provide long-term effective pest control, prevent pest-related damage to buildings, improve building and air quality and reduce resident complaints. It is also consistent with good building management and can save time and money in the long run.
