Integrated Pest Management - the practice of using the least "harmful" method of eliminating pests first, then trying successively more risky methods. These methods may include:
 * 1) beneficial predators - ladybugs, beneficial nematodes
 * 2) companion planting - onions and garlics, marigolds
 * 3) natural discouragers - pyrethrins from chrysanthemums, copper and sulfur for anti-fungals, citronella plants, eating garlic or vitamin B-complex
 * 4) naturally baited traps - wasp traps
 * 5) insect pheremones - japanese beetle traps
 * 6) chemical pesticides - Raid, flea foggers, Terminex!
