Integrated Pest Management Program
In recent years, we have incorporated a pest management program highlighting biological control with the use of beneficial insects. It is our goal to control pest populations using methods that are non-threatening to humans, property, or the environment.
To minimize risks to beneficial or non-target organisms, cultural and biological controls are implemented including the use of beneficial insects like predatory mites, beetles, and parasitic wasps which combat many common pests.
Close monitoring of pest activity combined with best practices of cultural, mechanical, and physical controls, such as sanitation, insect barriers, and watering practices are also incorporated. Through these efforts, we strive to minimize the use of chemical pesticides in our operations.
