Controlling pests in a sensitive environment requires a full range of treatment approaches that suit the specific situation.

In this second video, you’ll learn about the steps you should take before considering a chemical application, including the evaluation of other types of control methods such as:

  • Biological methods

  • Mechanical methods

  • Cultural methods

Chemical control methods can still be considered in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan if there are ongoing issues that require chemical treatment. However, this should be used strategically in target areas and administered correctly to help ensure the safety of your patients and staff.
