Integrated Pest Management: The Green Approach
Pesticides are unfortunately still common solutions for most pest infestations. However, as of the late 90’s the pest control industry has embraced an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) movement.
In many cases, pesticides can be very effective, but they are always the last protocol in an IPM program. Integrated Pest Management implies that mechanical means are utilized before pesticides in order to be environmentally friendly. Such mechanical means include:
|
Glue boards Electronic fly traps Snap / repeating traps Insect monitors |
Screens Mechanical barriers Sanitation Alterations of premises |
The preferred approach for any of Assured Environments’ expert pest management and bed bug solutions is a green approach. However, in some cases, we have to recommend pesticides. In those types of cases, we always recommend that:
- Environmentally-friendly pesticides are used whenever possible, such as Cimex Rest Assured
- The location of the treatments should be done in fumigation facilities away from humans and pets
- When pesticides are needed, use only the least toxic treatment
- Be as sparing as possible: always apply the minimal amount to the specific (non-human) contact areas
