    Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an approach that integrates multiple pest control practices to keep pest populations under an economic threshold. The main goal of IPM is to minimize pesticide use to reduce risks to human health and the environment. It focuses on pest populations rather than individual pests and uses pesticides only as a last resort by relying on in-depth knowledge of pests, their environments, and non-chemical control methods. IPM was originally developed for agriculture but can also be modified for indoor pest control with some adjustments.
