#2 Why does Gro-Pro use Integrated Pest Management (IPM)?
The goal is to achieve the needed level of pest control while using the least amount of pesticide. Our spot
treatments of pesticides, is just one example.
Other companies and doing it yourself can lead to overuse of pesticides. Pest Management does not mean pest
eradication.
"With IPM, pesticides should be applied only when needed, and no other control method will provide effective
management. When a decision has been made to use a pesticide, the safest and most effective product should
be selected for use"
