For decades, warehouses have relied on chemical pesticides to control pest infestations, but this approach comes with risks. Overuse of chemicals can lead to pesticide resistance among pests, environmental harm, and safety concerns for employees. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) offers a more effective long-term strategy by combining prevention, monitoring, and targeted treatments instead of relying solely on chemicals.
IPM focuses on eliminating conditions that attract pests, such as poor sanitation, unsealed entry points, and improper waste management. By addressing these root causes, warehouses can significantly reduce pest activity without excessive pesticide use. Additionally, IPM solutions like biological control methods and eco-friendly traps provide safer alternatives for pest management. Making the switch to IPM not only helps warehouses comply with industry regulations but also ensures a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to pest control. LEARN MORE
