What is IPM?
Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, is a
long-standing, science-based decision-making
process that identifies and reduces risks from
pests and pest management strategies. It
coordinates information on pest biology, the
environment, and available technology to prevent
unacceptable levels of pest damage by the most
economical means, while posing the least risk to
people, property, resources, and the environment.
IPM provides an effective strategy for managing
pests from developed agricultural, residential,
and public areas to wild lands. IPM provides an
effective, all encompassing, sustainable approach
to protect natural resources, crops, animals and
people from pests. IPM recommendations are
frequently recognized as Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to manage weeds, disease and
insects for production of food and fiber (USDA
National Road Map for Integrated Pest
Management).

Generic IPM Program
  • Biological knowledge
  • Monitoring and inspection
  • Act to control pests when necessary
  • Choose least-risk options
  • Long-term, preventative practices
  • Evaluation and records

What Causes Pest Outbreaks?
  • Alien invasive species
  • Disrupted environments
  • Pesticide resistance
  • Local invasions
  • Perceptions
  • Others causes?

Disrupted Environments
1896 in Lobby Pool Room 400 people incorporated
Miami
Miami-Dade County Population 2-3 million

Pesticide Resistance
The (mistaway) system uses a bio-degradable
insecticide derived from the chrysanthemum flower
called pyrethrum.

Local Invasions

17
Potential Threats to IPM Systems
  • Loss of pesticides
  • Offshore competition
  • Damaging weather
  • Population Growth
  • Environmentalism
  • Government assistance

18
Potential Threats to IPM Systems
  • Food borne illnesses
  • Land availability and use
  • Labor and immigration
  • Water quality and quantity
  • Higher operating costs (fuel)
  • New plant pests and diseases
