IPM for Homes

return to IPM for Homes

Benefits of IPM

  • Reduces the need for pesticides by using several pest management methods;

  • Shields the environment from excessive or unnecessary pesticide applications;

  • Fosters clean water supplies. Everyone lives in a watershed; if water leaving your home contains pesticides, these can pollute streams, groundwater, or coastal regions.

  • Promotes sound structures and healthy plants. Well-maintained homes and lawns better withstand damage from pests.
