Integrated pest management (IPM) isn’t really a new idea. At its core is a proactive approach to pest management. It is all about not waiting for pests to overrun your property. With integrated pest management, your approach to pest management is well thought-out and planned. You already have a plan of attack, even before you get any infestation problems.

So What Is It?
Simply put, Integrated Pest Management is the proactive approach to pest management, wherein you are able to minimise risks while solving pest problems in the long term. The goal with integrated pest management is to lessen the environmental, human and property costs of dealing with pests. It is an approach that should be applied across a variety of locations, from urban to rurals, farms, business districts and more.

In order to do this, several techniques are used, including behavior modification, biological control and the manipulation of habitats. Ideally, the use of pesticides is minimised – it only comes in play when infestation is detected.

Instead of a dependence on pest control, IPM encourages property owners and managers to plan for pests by implementing preventive practices, monitoring systems and more.

This approach uses Safe Spray’s knowledge and experience with pest to help you develop an integrated pest management plan. The plan considers your environmental condition, location, and usage and property details, among others.

Integrated Pest Management in the Real World
While it sounds technical and complicated, Integrated Pest Management shouldn’t really be seen that way. Instead, it is the progressive and proactive approach to dealing with pests. After all, when we invest in property or a business, we shouldn’t be complacent and leave pest control out of the equation. Pests, such as termites, degrade and destroys properties. They also compromise the integrity and reputation of your business.

For instance, a newly opened restaurant would want to keep pests in place, not threatening the investment in the business as well as its reputation with its clients. To do this, your pest control company needs to assess your location and environmental conditions and employ apt pest monitoring techniques. Within your staff and management, effective waste management should be implemented. Likewise, effective cleanliness routines should be in place.

Integrated Pest Management requires that you do something for your pest management so that any actual treatment won’t be costly, in terms of amount, work stoppage and health and environmental risks.
