What is Integrated Pest Management?
IPM treats the cause of a pest problem, not just the pests you can see. The technician identifies the pest, finds what is feeding and sheltering it, removes those conditions and uses a targeted treatment only where it is needed. The result is safer, more sustainable and longer-lasting control.
What are the steps in an IPM programme?
- Inspect and identify. We confirm the pest species and the extent of the activity.
- Monitor. Traps and monitoring stations show where pests are active and how numbers change.
- Prevent. We advise on sanitation, storage and waste, and seal entry points.
- Control. Mechanical methods such as traps come first, then targeted baits or low-toxicity products where needed.
- Review. Results are checked at each visit and the plan is adjusted.
Why choose IPM over routine spraying?
- Less chemical use around people, food and pets
- Longer-lasting results, because the cause is removed
- Documented monitoring, which supports audits and inspections
- Lower risk of pests becoming resistant to treatments

Integrated Pest Management: Frequently Asked Questions
Does IPM mean no chemicals are used?
No. IPM uses chemicals only when they are needed, in targeted amounts, after prevention and mechanical methods. All products are approved by Dubai Municipality.
Is IPM suitable for restaurants and food businesses?
Yes. Monitoring, proofing and targeted treatment are well suited to kitchens and food storage, and the visit records support food-safety audits.
How often are IPM visits needed?
The frequency depends on the premises and the level of risk. It is agreed after the first inspection and adjusted as monitoring results come in.
Can IPM be used in homes?
Yes. The same approach of inspection, prevention and targeted treatment works for villas and apartments.
