We have strong IPM programs for agriculture, the urban environment, and for protection from diseases vectored by insects and ticks.
The goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is to optimally combine diverse control tactics to manage pests sustainably thereby minimizing the harm they cause and control costs while maximizing benefits for safety, human health, environmental protection, and economic returns.
