[00:00:00] Chemicals such as pesticides and rodenticides can lead to pest resurgence and an outbreak of secondary pests. Integrated pest management is the detailed consideration of current rodent control methods and integration strategies to prevent the increase of rats and mice populations. The four principles of integrated pest management are problem assessment, pest identification and monitoring, deploying preventive measures, and implementing IPM methods. An integrated control method involves carefully selecting and implementing physical, chemical, biotechnological, and biological measures to prevent rat and mouse infestations.
[00:00:36] Examples of integrated pest management include the use of anticoagulants, snap traps, pheromone lures, contraceptives for rats, and non toxic monitoring bait blocks. The five components of integrated pest management are cultural practices, mechanical practices, regulatory practices, biological practices, and the use of predators. Predators such as owls and wild birds can reduce rodent infestations by attacking and killing them.
