Integrated Pest Management


About Us

The ministry is promoting adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) because it gives good results and eliminates unnecessary pesticide use. Our goal is to have pesticides used only in the context of an IPM program.

We promote IPM by:

  • writing IPM manuals for pesticide certification training
  • requiring IPM to be practiced on public land and by licenced service businesses
  • providing information to the public and businesses on managing pests using IPM
