Definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
The inspection to determine the type of problem. The education of the client on the importance of accurately describing the location, their need to sanitize, exclude & create a hostile environment for the pest by reduction of food, water & shelter. The service technicians use monitors, traps, bait, dust & the knowledge to read the label & follow it. We use pesticides as last step in control.

Evaluation
How Effectiveness of Pest Management Systems is Evaluated
I feel I have very low liability & my employees like not having to be exposed to large quantities of pesticides. Our clients enjoy knowing that our employees are educated and care about their families. We provide, at no additional charge, an educational class on how both parties, the client and the provider, can control pest and what each parties' roll is in IPM.
