A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Integrated Pest Management practices are used on all of FIU's grounds. Our IPM plan is an approach to solving pest problems by applying knowledge about the pest to prevent them from damaging the landscape. IPM means responding to pest problems with the most effective least risk option. Under an IPM approach, actions are taken to control insects, disease or weed problems only when their numbers exceed acceptable levels. These methods are done in three stages: prevention, observation, and intervention. When considering these actions, all pest management methods should be reviewed including natural, biological, mechanical, cultural and finally chemical means.
