Integrated Pest Management

Integrated pest management, a series of escalating methods to control bugs and weeds. Various methods from hand weeding to biological and chemical controls are all part of the plan.  Alternatives to pesticides; goats and ladybugs. While the goats are perhaps the most visible pest control method used, eating the seed heads off of weeds in parks. Vinegar works especially well in areas with hard surfaces, like park paths or the cracks in your driveway. With the vinegar, if it’s a really hard surface, put some salt down as well. It kind of smells like salt and vinegar chips. Corn gluten, an agent that actually coats the weed seeds preventing them from sprouting, as well as using a rolling machine over park trails that spouts hot steam over weeds.
