The first step in any pest control program, especially under IPM, is an inspection to identify the pest, assess the infestation’s extent, and determine contributing factors. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 4: IPM) emphasizes that inspection guides the development of a targeted control strategy. Option A (pesticide application) should only occur after inspection and other methods are considered. Option C (alteration of the habitat) is a control method that follows inspection.
