Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pests with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment.

HUD Green Incentive Program
Through the Green Retrofit Program (GRP) HUD is making available $250 million in grants and loans to eligible Section 8, 202, and 811 projects for the completion of green retrofits that improve the energy and water efficiency of the property, improve resident health, and benefit the environment.
As part of the initial assessment, HUD's Office of Affordable Housing Preservation (OAHP) arranges for a detailed Integrated Pest Management (IPM) inspection on properties planning to participate in the Mark-to-Market (M2M) program. As a QualityPro Green certified company, Griffin Pest Solutions is one of the few certified pest management companies who can provide detailed IPM inspection assessments on these properties.
