The document discusses minimizing pest problems through integrated pest management (IPM) techniques rather than pesticide use. It explains that pests require water, food, heat, and harborage to survive. It emphasizes prevention by sealing cracks and crevices, practicing good sanitation by removing water, crumbs, and other food sources, and using baits, traps, and other exclusion methods to control common pests like flies, cockroaches, rodents, and ants. The final message is that cleanliness and IPM through communication and knowledge can replace pesticides.
