IPM explained for business owners

IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management: a smart approach to managing pests that puts prevention first.

The basics

IPM starts with prevention: proofing, hygiene and good storage. You then monitor to detect problems early. Only when necessary is targeted treatment carried out, using as little pesticide as possible.

Why IPM?

It is better for people and the environment, prevents recurring problems and provides the documentation required for audits.

How RBL applies it

Inspection, action plan, monitoring, proofing and digital reporting: all the steps of IPM in one approach.

Sources and further information

General information, not a diagnosis for your location. Have the species identified if in doubt. Consult a healthcare professional about health symptoms and do not use pesticides without appropriate instructions.
