Business Summary
International Pest Control (IPC) has been established for over 60 years, it is the only publication in the world dealing with all aspects of pest eradication and prevention — for public health, animal welfare, food storage, crop protection, forestry and wood preservation.
The publication employs a wide-ranging definition of the term pest, taking in plants and fungal agents as well as members of the animal kingdom which cause disease, depredation or economic loss. And because pests recognise no national boundaries, control is increasingly approached on an international basis — a situation which is reflected in both the title and content of the publication.
The science of pest control is currently embarking upon a period of change. Economic and environmental factors have combined to shift emphasis away from merely researching and conventionally applying new chemical pesticides, towards more efficient methods of applying existing compounds, the development of alternative techniques like biological control and, increasingly, the combination of all available methods into effective integrated pest management programmes.
International Pest Control publishes research and review papers from all over the world, documenting and drawing together the advantages and disadvantages of a wide variety of novel and established techniques with respect to different needs and ambient conditions. It provides authoritative reviews of pest control developments worldwide, with news, articles, reviews, features and comments. Readers are informed of trends in new techniques, new chemicals, new products, and new methods of applying existing remedies – these are the practical tools of the pest control industry the world over.
