What does IPM mean?
IPM stands for (Integrated Pest Management) it is an effective approach for pest management, it’s an environmentally effective system, and this is what we use in Orkin Egypt pest control company, IPM is based on pest’s life cycle information to use in the best economical/environmental way, to avoid harmful effects on the facility, people and environment.
What are IPM control methods?
1 - Biological control
It means using the natural predators for targeted pests to control like using cats to control rats and so on.
2 - Cultural control
This way depends on using best practices to reduce pests or prevent them from coming in the first place such as changing people's habits and eliminating and getting rid of leftovers in a correct manner, these practices stop pests from gathering in your facility.
3 - Physical and mechanical control
This method kills pests like traps for rodents and all kinds of rats, also closes all holes that pests take as shelters and as the entryway to your facility, and uses barriers to keep pests out of the facility
4 - Chemical control
This is the last method to use to control pests because sometimes it could cause harmful damage to food, especially in food industries it might be the best effective way but the IPM system trying to reduce it to reduce its harmful effect and use it only when needed.
How does IPM work?
IPM is considered the best pest control system in the world, in order to use it, you have to follow certain roles and steps, and these steps are: -
- Action thresholds
In IPM we define and select suitable action thresholds for pest control, where we consider pest populations and condition of the environment and when to consider pest is a critical situation
- pests inspection
In this step, we identify pests and monitor their activity, cause not all pests are harmful to your products, and then we define the best way to control pests, and not to use the wrong kind of pesticide (( if we have to use it ))
- Prevention
Our role doesn't end when we get rid of all harmful pests, but we take our precautions to prevent pests from coming again such as cleaning methods and changing all bad habits that help pests gather.
- Control
After identifying the pests and working on the best pest control and prevention methods the IPM system evaluates the best ways of control by risks and efficiency, we chose the less risky and harmful methods such as pheromones to reduce and disrupt pests' mating, and if it doesn't work, we choose other more effective methods such as spraying.
