Integrated Pest Management is a process that revolves around decision making to combine strategies that are effective enough to create one strategy that takes care of all pest issues. The process coordinates pest knowledge, environmental information and management methods to prevent damages that occur as a result of pest infestations. In the strategy, economical means are used to reduce dangers to the property, people within it and the environment in general. Toro Pets Management offers the IPM services all through New York and surrounding areas.
In essence, the main goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is to reduce pesticide reliance when it comes to controlling the pests. The conditions leading to the infestations are first identified so that corrective solutions to get rid of the breeding grounds can be reached. Toro strives to maintain safety and therefore begins by non-chemical methods of exterminating the pests before opting for any chemical solutions to take care of the issues at hand. But even in situations where chemical solutions seem to be the best way out, we still go to great lengths to select products with low impact but effective to ensure that the property and environment remains safe.
