Everyone who develops a fever doesn’t need an antibiotic. Typically a health professional asks a lot of questions and performs several tests before deciding on a treatment approach. In the same way, trying to control pests with pesticides alone doesn’t work well and pests frequently return.  

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a commonsense approach that first identifies the root of your pest problem and then prescribes the most appropriate treatment. Unlike traditional pest management, IPM addresses the causes of infestation, not just the symptoms, and focuses on preventing pest problems rather than reacting to them.
