Description: Course covers how to implement a balanced pest control strategy that combines regular monitoring, record keeping, and threshold limits to determine if and when treatments are needed.
Covers core concepts of IPM as a combination of strategies and tactics:
- address the root causes of pest infestations rather than simply treating the symptoms;
seek to reduce pest populations below the level where they cause unacceptable damage or annoyance; and
due consideration of non-chemical pest control methods, reducing dependency on pesticides.
