Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a strategic and environmentally conscious approach to controlling pests. Unlike conventional methods that rely heavily on chemical treatments, IPM integrates multiple techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and cultural practices. By monitoring pest populations and applying targeted interventions, IPM minimizes risks to human health, non-target organisms, and the environment. This method not only ensures long-term pest control but also reduces the development of pesticide resistance, making it a sustainable solution for homes and businesses alike.
