Mechanical Methods of IPM
Integrated pest management
Integrated pest management (IPM), also known as Integrated Pest Control (IPC) is a broad-based approach that integrates practices for economic control of pests. IPM aims to suppress pest populations below the economic injury level (EIL).
What is Mechanical pest control?

What are the different types of residential pest control?
The four main types of residential pest control are the mechanical, biological, natural, and chemical methods. The mechanical pest control method is the use of physical means to directly manage and control pests, like the use of fences, barriers, or electric wires.
What are natural pest control methods?
Natural pest control methods are similar to pesticides but made from plants and natural extracts instead of synthetic compounds. The method is considered to be safer since it only kills a single type of pests. However, it isn’t always as useful as the chemical pesticides.
What is mechanical pest control?
Mechanical pest control is the management and control of pests using physical means such as fences, barriers or electronic wires. It includes also weeding and change of temperature to control pests. Mechanical control can be accomplished as the follows. 1. Handpicking.
How to control insects in a field?
Some of the insects are controlled by creating a barriers for insects in reaching the place where they causes. e.g. Application of a band of sticky material like ‘Ostico’ or a band of slippery sheets like alkathene around the trunk of a mango tree to prevent the upward movement of the mango mealy bug. Using of screens over the windows, doors and ventilators of house to keep away houseflies, Mosquitoes, bugs etc. Making trench of 30 cm depth around the field and applications on jute hairy caterpillar, Jute Semilooper from infested area to new field; Using red light in the monsoon to keep away most of insects.
How to kill locusts?
Locust can be killed by the burning with the help of flame torches. Stored grain pest are also controlled by burning. 9. Crushing and grinding. This devices are used for Sugarcane. Sugarcane shoot borer are controlled by harvesting the sugarcane and then crushing for obtaining sugar. 10. Sound production.
How to kill cotton bug?
Different insect such as cotton bug, mango shoot borer & defoliator etc. can be killed by shaking the small trees or shrubs. Particularly, every in the morning in cold season when insect are remain in the tree and collecting them tab containing kerosinized water or by hand crashing or leg crushing.
Why do mango bugs come on the soil?
Mealy bugs on mango comes on soil for egg laying which can be prevented by putting sticky bands on stem.
What is the best way to kill nocturnal insects?
i) Light trap. Light trap can be used to attract and kill the nocturnal insects. e.g. Leaf hopper, Jute hairy caterpillar, moths, stem borer of rice etc. An electric bulb or a lamp is place in the wide flat vessel containing kerosinized in which the moth, beetles get drowned.
What insect can be controlled with hand nets?
e.g. Green leaf hopper, Grasshoppers etc. can be controlled with hand nets when they migrate in AprilMay from maize to sugarcane. The bag nets can be used to control the some insects. e.g. Rice hispa from the field partially. 3.
Goal 1: Exclusion
The idea is pretty straight-forward: keep pests away! Exclusion can be achieved by several means, one of which is row covers. Row covers are not only useful for frost protection and weed control, but can provide a barrier from insect pests.
Goal 2: Destruction
While working in a greenhouse a few years back, I was instructed in a particularly… gooey destruction method against slugs involving scissors and many a disgusted grimace. The “cut them in half” method was unpleasant but certainly effective, and a perfect example of destruction.
Goal 3: Removal
Removal methods include handpicking (which is usually followed by destruction), use of traps , water pressure sprays, and insect vacuums. Light traps, color traps, and sticky traps are all useful not only for collecting the offensive insects, but to monitoring pest population and the species that are present. Sticky traps are cheap and easy to use.
