About Pest Management
There is no “Silver Bullet” for pest problems
You can’t just spray a pesticide or release a bottle of predatory mites and expect instant results. Effective pest management requires planning and a structured thought process long before pests become a problem. This proactive approach is the foundation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), where biological control is just one of many tools.
IPM focuses on preventing and suppressing pests using a variety of strategies. Common tools include regular scouting, selecting resistant plant varieties, and implementing sound cultural practices. Pesticides are considered a last resort, applied only when softer methods are insufficient. When they are needed, products are chosen carefully and used in an environmentally responsible way.
