 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an environmentally friendly, common sense approach to controlling pests. The IPM principles and benefits described below apply to any type of structure and landscaping. 

 Principles of IPM

Traditional pest control involves the routine application of pesticides. IPM, in contrast:

• Focuses on pest prevention.
• Uses pesticides only as needed.

This provides a more effective, environmentally sensitive approach.IPM programs take advantage of all appropriate pest management strategies, including the judicious use of pesticides. Preventive pesticide application is limited because the risk of pesticide exposure may outweigh the benefits of control, especially when non-chemical methods provide the same results.IPM is not a single pest control method but rather involves integrating multiple control methods based on site information obtained through:

• inspection
• monitoring
• reports

Consequently, every IPM program is designed based on the pest prevention goals and eradication needs of the situation. Successful IPM programs use this four-tiered implementation approach:

• Identify pests and monitor progress.
• Set action threshholds.
• Prevent.
• Control.

 Landscape Lighting is far more than simply illuminating parts of your property. It is an art practiced by craftsmen and women who are trained and experienced in the many facets of the art. Do-it-yourselfers may try to design and install their own landscape lighting, but their efforts are severely hampered by the technology, access to quality products, and a lack of design knowledge.
    A well designed Landscape lighting installation provides: Security and Safety.  In addition it also creates Task Lighting(appropriate illumination for the various regions of nighttime activity) and Aesthetic Lighting(a lighting project that is  both beautiful and encourages a wide range of emotions and feelings that arise from the visual experience).
    The many design principles used encompass cohesion, depth, focal points, light quality, perspective, balance, symmetry and visual comfort.
    In conclusion, Landscape Lighting Design is an art that is both practical and aesthetically enjoyable. Every property needs some sort of illumination and homeowners would be best served by hiring a professional to design and install their landscape lighting.
