Integrated Pest Control

Integrated Pest Control (IPC) is a balanced approach to managing pests that combines multiple methods to minimize damage while reducing reliance on chemicals. It involves identifying pest problems, understanding their behavior, and using a mix of tactics such as biological controls (natural predators), habitat modification, physical barriers, and targeted use of pesticides when necessary. The goal is effective pest management that is environmentally responsible, safe for people, and sustainable over the long term. IPC emphasizes prevention, monitoring, and integrated strategies to keep pests under control efficiently and responsibly.
