Integrated Pest Management is a science -based approach that combines a variety of techniques. By studying their life cycles and how pests interact with the environment, IPM professionals can manage pests with the most current methods to improve management, lower costs, and reduce risks to people and the environment I PM nvironment IPM tools include: • Alter surroundings • Prevention of pest • Add beneficial insects/ problem developing organisms • Disrupt insect Grow plants that resist pests behaviors Disrupt development of pest - Use pesticides IDENTIFY/ MONITOR Determine the causal agent and its qft abundance (contact your local Il��ii a extension agent for help). ©EVALUATE The results from monitoring will help to answer the questions: Is the pest causing damage? Do we need to act? As pest numbers increase toward the economic threshold Further treatments may be necessary. WHERE CAN YOU PRACTICE IPM? Buildings and Farms: Homes: Check kr pests/pest damage Inspect, identify pests, keep regularly, identity acwrafel y, Pests out, clean to deny pests choose pest -resistant plant food and water, vacuum, trap, varleties, encourage/introduce or use low-risk pesticides, beneficial insects, time planting to avoid pesls, and if needed use low-risk pectic ides. ©PREVENT Some pest problems can he prevented by using resistant plants, planting early, rotating crops, using barriers against climbing pests, sanitation, and sealing cracks in buildings- ACTION IPM uses multiple tools to reduce pests below an economically damaging level. A careful selection of preventive and curative treatments will reduce reliance on any one tactic and increase likelihood of success. © MONITOR _ Continue to monitor the pest population. If it remains low or decreases, further treatments may not be necessary, but if it increases and exceeds the action threshold, another IPM tool should be used . Managed Natural Systems: Identify the pest and use management options that have minimal risks to pollinators, humans, and pets. .,r�ier•o: The Entamalogiral Society of America is the a _ , la rig—t organization in the worid serving the en[omobgis[s and other !,—t sciennsts.

These documents were appro Board of DirectorM s on arch 15, 2018. Recent restrictions on the use of synthetic herbicides within local jurisdictions oto County prompted NCC, in collaboration with its parhn , to develop a strategy that is c t with local policies while enabling signatory jurisdictions and participating tandawaers eat their management obligations under the County of Orange Central and Coastal Subre atural Community Conservation PI�IHabitat Conservation Plan (NCC?41CP). The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department), collectively refire ed to as the "Wildlife Agencies," issued permits to participating jurisdictions and participating landowners for implementation of the NCCP/HCP, which addresses development, conservation, and land management activities throughout much of central and coastal Orange County. The permits authorize impacts to covered species from development and land management activities m exchange fur commitments by permittees to conserve and manage covered species' habitat in the NCCPIBCP reserve system (also referred to as the Nature Reserve of Orange County). One of the primary commitments made by permittees is to maintain the long-term habitat value of the reserve system and its ability to support viable populations of covered species (Section 4.4 NCCPIHCP Implementation Agreement; Section 52 NCCP)HCP). Control of non-native invasive plant species is essential to maiutain the long-term habitat value of the reserve system.
