Household IPM

If you are just getting started with your pest problem, think about these questions and do some research about the pest.

What type of pest are you dealing with?
How are they getting in? How can I keep them out?
Do they live in the house all of the time, or do they come and go?
What are they eating and drinking?
How can I make my home less friendly to pests?
How can I keep track of their activity to see if my strategy is working?

To prevent future problems, consider taking steps to pest-proof your home.

Inspect your home inside and out looking for pests, food, water and entry points.
Fix any leaky hoses, faucets or pipes; pests need water.
Fix any holes in your window screens, and consider installing door-sweeps.
Plug entry points, even the tiny ones, with caulk, wire mesh, etc.
Learn about relative humidity, and keep it below 60% indoors, if possible, to prevent mold and help control other pests.

To prevent future pest problems, consider taking some proactive steps to pest-proof your garden:

Select the right plants for the location; consider their needs for water and sun.
Select disease-resistant varieties when certain diseases keep coming back.
Water plants at ground level; wet leaves are more susceptible to disease.
Remove dead plant material before spring; it can harbor diseases.
Consider testing the soil for nutrients and minerals to plan fertilizer needs.
Proper care and watering will produce healthier plants, which are better at resisting diseases and tolerating insects.
Inspect your plants regularly in order to detect problems early.
Consider asking a master gardener for help identifying and managing pests.
