Question

describe some pests of standing corps

Answer 1

One of the trickiest environmental challenges for housing managers is pest management - finding the best way to control unwanted invaders while minimizing the use of potentially toxic pesticides. Pests such as cockroaches, mice, rats and bed bugs can be particularly troublesome in multi-family housing.

Living with pests should not be the norm for anyone -- whether one lives in a single family home or multifamily housing.

Integrated pest management (IPM) differs from traditional pest control:

It emphasizes eliminating nesting places as well as sources of food and water for pests.
It excludes pests from the home.
Studies have proven that IPM is the most effective way to control pests in the home. Effective IPM programs in multi-family housing require a team effort involving residents, maintenance and custodial staff, pest management professionals, and the housing manager.
