Solve your pest problems with Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
IPM is effective, long-term pest management that consists of different types of control from hands-on pest removal to traditional synthetic pesticides.
Types of Pest Control Methods Used in IPM
Pests are inevitable but with powerful pest management such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM), you can control these creatures from infesting your properties to prevent further damages.
Instead of just one control method, there are several types of pest control methods used in IPM for greater effectiveness:
- Cultural control
- Biological control
- Mechanical and physical controls
- Chemical control
Cultural control
Cultural control is a practice to reduce or eliminate pests populations by modifying the growing environment.
Biological control
Biological control is the use of pests’ natural enemies to reduce their population without using pesticides or using less pesticides.
Mechanical and physical control
It is a method that kills pests directly using physical means. Traps and baits are examples of mechanical and physical control.
Chemical control
Chemical control is the use of pesticides. However, pesticides are only used when needed. Furthermore, this method is usually combined with other methods for more lasting solutions.

You can avoid cases like this by carrying out IPM. So, if you decided to carry out IPM at your homes and premises, here are some useful tips to increase the effectiveness:
Get rid of clutter
Clutter provides perfect hiding places for pests so keep the areas in your homes and premises clutter-free to reduce the risk of pest infestation.
Manage garbage
Additionally, always keep your garbage in sealed bags.
On top of that, avoid overflowing your garbage bins as they can become the source of food and shelters for rodents and other pests. So, do remember to take out your garbage every day.
Use safe pest control methods
Also, use pesticides that have manufacturer labels and are marked for consumer use only. Likewise, make sure to read and follow label instructions.
Work with pest control professionals
Last but not least, allow pest control professionals access to the homes and premises for pest inspections and services.
