IPM plans
What is IPM? • A strategy that aims for – long-term suppression of pests – by combining the best control tactics, – minimizing negative impacts of pesticides on people and the environment, and – being economical.
Components of an IPM program • Pest identification • Knowledge of pest biology • Monitoring and thresholds • Integrated controls • Communication/ cooperation with stakeholders
The IPM pyramid Physical / Mechanical controls Pesticides Biological controls Cultural / Sanitation Practices
Key ecological principle behind IPM • Pests will thrive in human environments when provided with the necessary requisites for survival • “Reduce a requisite and reduce the pest” Page 7 The pest triangle
Pest prevention • Single most important component of pest management program • Pest-proofing, repair, maintenance of buildings is most important and most overlooked aspect of IPM
How does IPM differ from conventional pest control? It’s inspection-based It’s threshold-based It’s preventive It’s knowledgeintensive • It’s a community effort • •
Pest Prevention: Through behavior modification
Good design can help modify behavior
Pest Prevention: Through Design • Paved foundations as replacements for foundation plantings JJ Pearce H. S. - Richardson ISD
IPM-positive features usually in line with other green goals • Reduced light pollution has pest management benefits • Well-sealed buildings have energy conservation benefits • Effective and sanitary waste handling facilities usually less attractive to pests
Good IPM design is not always intuitive Mc. Kinney 1 st Baptist Church, Mc. Kinney, TX, May 1995
Good IPM design involves combination of biological information and engineering know-how black field crickets, Lennox Square Plaza, Richardson, TX September 1998
