Also called Ecological Pest Management (EPM) is the practice of pest management in the landscape; we need to first choose plants that are well suited to the site. Then plant them properly and keep the plants healthy by carefully watering, fertilizing, and pruning them. Then to watch out for problems on our plants as they arise. If a pest or disease causes unacceptable damage despite preventative efforts, we have to choose an effective management method that will have the least amount of impact on other living creatures and the environment. Beyond pesticides supports the EPM or IPM program in the indoor environment and Organic Land Care (OLC) practices in the outdoor environment.

Different methods of IPM are:

Physical methods

Pests can be removed from plants physically. For example, some aphids and mites can be knocked off by spraying the plant with water. Bagworm larvae can be picked off an infested plant.

Biorational methods

This can be divided into two groups. The first group includes living organisms that can kill the pest. The second group includes naturally occurring biochemical that are harmful to the pest yet often are harmless to other living organisms.

Chemicals

Conventional chemicals are used only as a last resort in an IPM program, but sometimes are the most effective means of control. To have the greatest effect, these materials need to be applied on a specific part of the plant when the pest is most vulnerable. Always to apply chemical controls according to label directions.
