Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a comprehensive and environmentally sensitive approach to pest control that combines different management strategies and practices to grow healthy environments while minimizing risks to human health, beneficial organisms, and the ecosystem. In the context of hygiene, sanitation, and waste management, IPM plays a crucial role in preventing pest infestations by addressing the root causes such as poor sanitation, improper waste disposal, and environmental conditions that favor pest breeding. IPM is based on the understanding of pest life cycles, their interaction with the environment, and the damage they cause. Rather than relying solely on chemical pesticides, IPM integrates multiple control methods including cultural, biological, mechanical, and, when necessary, chemical measures. The goal is not to completely eliminate pests but to keep their population below levels that can cause harm or nuisance. One of the key components of IPM is prevention. Proper sanitation practices such as regular cleaning, safe food storage, and effective waste management help eliminate food, water, and shelter sources that attract pests. For example, timely disposal of garbage, use of covered bins, and maintenance of clean surroundings reduce the breeding grounds for flies, rodents, and cockroaches. In
