Which of the following is NOT listed as a DoD IPM benefit?

IPM programs are built on monitoring and targeted action to control pests with minimal impact. DoD IPM benefits include lowering costs, reducing pesticide residues, and decreasing hazards to non-target organisms, all by using better timing, precision, and non-chemical controls when appropriate. A core part of this approach is ongoing pest surveillance—regular monitoring to detect problems early and guide decisions. Reducing pest surveillance would undermine the ability to catch outbreaks early and apply interventions only when needed, so it isn’t listed as a benefit.
