Exclusion, physical removal: Insects - traps, barriers, wash
Weeds - mulch, till, hoe, pull Diseases - prune
Natural and Introduced:Predators, parasites, nematodes
Biochemical: hormones, enzymes, pheromones, insect growth regulators (IGRs)
Microbial: products originate from bacteria, fungi, nematode, protozoa & virus
Hard Chemical: direct toxins, kill on contact, long residual, broad-spectrum – carbamates, organophosphates
Low Impact Chemical: baits, soaps, oils
Toxicity
Jane Morse- UF/IFAS Pinellas Co Extension
Use IPM to minimize pests and damage
Once you have your new exotic (weed, insect, disease, snail…) identified, people in your area will want to begin management tactics
These can be recommendations from anywhere in the IPM pyramid
Often scientists develop a multi tactic approach like the TAME Melaleuca program
Multi tactic example - Melaleuca

Mechanical Control
Manually cutting or uprooting the plants, this can be accomplished with equipment or done by hand!

Biological Control Two biological agents
released and established melaleuca weevil melaleuca psyllid
The melaleuca bud-gall fly, has been released but has not established
The stem-gall fly is still being studied for possible future release

Pesticide Information Office (PIO)
Be sure you know about pesticide rules and licensing before recommending any chemical control options
This includes herbicides for the management of aquatic and terrestrial plants
EDIS, your local County Extension Office and the PIO can answer all of your pesticide questions
