Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for Commercial, Agricultural & Residential Environments

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a proactive approach to pest control. Instead of waiting for infestations to appear, IPM focuses on monitoring, prevention, proofing, and targeted treatments to stop issues before they start.

IPM is recommended for agricultural businesses, property managers, landlords, residents’ associations, commercial premises, food-handling environments, and any organisation responsible for maintaining safe, pest-free buildings or land.

While IPM itself isn’t named in law, organisations are legally required to manage pests and maintain safe environments. IPM supports compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), and food safety regulations.

Most organisations benefit from regular monitoring visits throughout the year. We tailor inspection frequency based on your risks, location, and operational needs.

Yes. Because IPM focuses on prevention, proofing and environmental controls, pesticide treatments are only used when they are truly necessary. This reduces chemical use and supports a safer, more sustainable approach to pest management.

An IPM plan can cover rodents, insects, stored-product pests and species commonly found in agricultural, residential, and commercial environments. Your plan is customised to the specific risks of your site.
