Integrated Pest Management - IPM– Scientifically planned management tactics and control strategies to reduce the abundance of target pests which incorporate four basic methods: Public Relations and Education, Surveillance, Bio-rational control, and Chemical Control. These strategies serve as the foundation for management, development and assessment. Ongoing mosquito population and mosquito-borne pathogen monitoring in addition to specific action thresholds generate the criteria that implement mosquito management measures. A rigorous IPM program will lead, in the long run, to greater reliance and success of non-pesticide control measures and the avoidance of unnecessary pesticide applications.
