Ai« <br /> V V <br /> 'ILL Cc' A LT Il M <br /> INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT <br /> Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest <br /> management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, <br /> comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This <br /> information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by <br /> the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the <br /> environment. <br /> The IPM approach can be applied to both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, such as the home, <br /> garden, and workplace. IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options including, <br /> but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides <br /> Once monitoring, identification, and action thresholds indicate that pest control is required, and <br /> preventive methods are no longer effective or available, IPM programs then evaluate the proper <br /> control method both for effectiveness and risk. Effective, less risky pest controls are chosen first, <br /> including highly targeted chemicals, such as pheromones to disrupt pest mating, or mechanical <br /> control, such as trapping or weeding. If further monitoring, identifications and action thresholds <br /> indicate that less risky controls are not working, then additional pest control methods would be <br /> employed, such as targeted spraying of pesticides. Broadcast spraying of non-specific pesticides is a <br /> last resort. <br /> 2711 SW 36 Street ° Dania Beach, Florida 33312 <br /> Phone: 954-431-1111 ° Fax: 954-433-1111 0 Customer Service: 877-LUKES-NOW <br /> www.lukeslandscapinginc.com moi, <br />
