Integrated Pest Management

The intent of the Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) is to provide an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common sense practices.   

Pesticides alone will not solve the problem of controlling pests. In fact, the widespread use of pesticides has created new problems, including damage to the environment, hazards to human health, and increased resistance of pests to some pesticides.

This IPM has been developed as a way to control pests without relying solely on pesticides. The City’s IPM is a systematic plan which brings together different pest control tactics into one program.
