Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a safer more, sustainable pest management strategy. IPM focuses on a variety of pest prevention and non-toxic or least-toxic pest management techniques to effectively solve pest problems. IPM strategies use pesticides only as a last resort. By using safer, more sustainable integrated pest management practices, it’s possible to manage pests while protecting staff, children, and the environment effectively and sustainably.
