![Page 47: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Some say IPM is the Common Sense Approach
![Page 48: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
IPM focuses on non-pesticidesolution first
![Page 49: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Here are some non-pesticide solutions ● Exclusion● Sanitation
● Mechanical ● Biological
● Cultural

IPM is a decision making process
![Page 51: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Components of an IPM program can include education, proper waste management, biological and mechanical control techniques, and as a last resort, the least-toxic pesticide
Education is perhaps the most effective. IPM is all about bringing diverse disciplines and communicate how everyone can do their part to solve the problem
![Page 52: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
IPM is divided into 3 steps
![Page 53: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Inspection is the most fundamental
![Page 54: Get Your California Applicator's License](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081404/559be8031a28abb44a8b45ce/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
