Integrated Pest Management Strategies are Eco-Friendly

The integrated pest management (IPM) approach concentrates on the exterior of a location first, inspecting, monitoring and excluding specific places. In the event of an interior situation, treatment is done using a low-impact procedure.

The most common misconception with regard to pest control is that these procedures are harmful to the environment. Not all pesticides and treatments are destructive, just as not all natural and organic products are safe. In the past, people would equate pest control with smelly spray pesticides. Nowadays, more environment-friendly products and treatment procedures are being utilized, such as low-dose bait and gels. Should a situation require the use of a spray, then pest control companies resort to low-odor pesticides and use the least amount possible.

Because people are becoming more conscious when it comes to the environment, and are making greener choices whenever possible, treatment strategies are now required to start with inspections. Situations are then assessed thoroughly through IPM. Once a problem is detected, then it is important to choose the most modern, cost-effective and eco-friendly products and treatment procedures.

With this type of pest control strategy, the client is ensured that a series of evaluations and inspections have taken place before a decision is made on how the situation will be remedied or controlled. Traditional pest control companies tend to favor or stick with traditional and routine methods, without assessing whether or not it is safe and effective. Past experiences have improved and evolved into more modern technologies and products, ensuring that modern integrated pest management procedures are safe for people, animals and the environment.

The Four-Tiered Approach Of The Integrated Pest Management System

The integrated pest management system, or IPM, is designed around six basic components that can be summed up into a four-tiered approach. The first approach is to set action thresholds, which means that extermination can only be done on acceptable pest levels. This is based on the fact that wiping out an entire pest population is not only impossible, but is also costly and unsafe for the environment. The level at which pests can become either a health or an economic threat is critical to guide future pest control decisions.

The next stage is to monitor and identify pests. Accurate pest identification is critical to a successful IPM program, as not all types of insects, weeds, and other living organisms require control. Proper monitoring and identification is vital at this stage as it eliminates both the use of chemical pesticides in parts where it isn’t needed, and the deployment of the wrong type of pesticide in areas that are in dire need of control.

The third stage in an IPM program is prevention. The first line of defense for pest control in a garden, for example, is selecting plant varieties that are best for local growing conditions, as well as maintaining healthy crops. For an agricultural setting, this may mean using control methods that are effective, cost-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Finally, once the first three approaches indicate that preventive methods are no longer effective and pest control is indeed required, an integrated pest management program will then evaluate the proper method of extermination that will be both effective and less risky. Targeted spraying of pesticides and the use of non-specific pest killers are employed only as a last resort.

Benefits Of Integrated Pest Management

Pesticides are chemicals that kill pests, and are categorized by the types of pests they kill. For example, insecticides kill insects, herbicides kill weeds, bactericides kill bacteria, fungicides kill fungi, and algaecides kill algae. Approximately 90 percent of all pesticides used worldwide are used in agriculture, food storage, or shipping. Because of a growing world population, there is pressure to increase and preserve the food supply by using pesticides and other agricultural chemicals.

Throughout history, various types of pests, such as insects, weeds, bacteria, rodents, and other biological organisms, have bothered humans or threatened human health. People have been using pesticides for thousands of years to try to control these pests. The Sumerians used sulfur to control insects and mites 5,000 years ago. The Chinese used mercury and arsenic compounds to control body lice and other pests. The Greeks and Romans used oil, ash, sulfur, and other materials to protect themselves, their livestock, and their crops from various pests. And people in various cultures have used smoke, salt, spices, and insect-repelling plants to preserve food and keep pests away.

Although the use of pesticides is not new, the types of substances people have used as pesticides have changed over time. The earliest pesticides were inorganic substances such as sulfur, mercury, lead, arsenic, and ash. Some of these inorganic pesticides are still used today. For example, sulfur is still used as a fungicide, copper is used as an algaecide, lead and arsenic were used as insecticides until World War II, and chromium, copper, and arsenic have been used as wood preservatives to prevent microorganisms from causing wood decay. Even though many of these substances are effective pesticides, the use of some of these materials has been banned or restricted because of health and environmental concerns. Lead and arsenic are no longer used as insecticides, the use of mercury as a fungicide has been restricted, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is phasing out the use of arsenic as a wood preservative.

The modern era of chemical pest control began around the time of World War II, when the synthetic organic chemical industry began to develop. The first synthetic organic pesticides were organochlorine compounds, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). Commercial production of DDT began in 1943. At that time, DDT was considered to be a wonderful invention. It was cheap to produce, very toxic to insects, and much less toxic to mammals. DDT and other organochlorine insecticides were used for many years to control mosquitoes and as a broad-spectrum insecticide against insect pests that damaged food and crops.

Unfortunately, scientists learned later that many organochlorine insecticides were persistent in the environment (they did not degrade readily) and were bioaccumulating in birds, humans, and other animals. In 1962 Rachel Carson wrote the book Silent Spring, in which she reported that DDT was causing eggshell thinning in bird eggs and thus was leading to the near extinction of bird species such as peregrine falcons and bald eagles. Today most of the organochlorine pesticides have been banned in the United States by the EPA because of the tendency of these compounds to persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in animals.

Other classes of insecticides include the organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, and biopesticides. These other classes of pesticides are not as persistent in the environment as the organochlorine pesticides. The organophosphate and carbamate pesticides affect the nervous system by disrupting the enzyme that regulates acetylcholine , a neurotransmitter. However, carbamate pesticides are less toxic to humans because their interactions with important enzymes are reversible. As a group, the organophosphate and carbamate pesticides are probably the most widely used insecticides, although many are being restricted by the EPA because of their toxicity.

Pyrethroid pesticides were developed as synthetic versions of the naturally occurring pesticide pyrethrin, which is found in chrysanthemums. Most pyrethroids are safer than the organochlorines, organophosphates, and carbamates, although some synthetic pyrethroids are toxic to the nervous system. Pyrethroids have been modified to increase their stability in the environment, and many different pyrethroids are being used today.

Biopesticides are substances that are derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. For example, canola oil and baking soda have pesticidal applications and are considered biopesticides. Biopesticides fall into three major classes: microbial pesticides, plant-incorporated protectants, and biochemical pesticides. Microbial pesticides contain microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as their active ingredient. The most widely used microbial pesticides are strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt.

Plant-incorporated protectants are pesticidal substances that plants produce from genetic material that has been added to the plant. Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests by nontoxic mechanisms. Conventional pesticides, by contrast, are generally synthetic materials that directly kill or inactivate the pest. Biochemical pesticides include substances, such as insect sex pheromones that interfere with mating as well as various scented plant extracts that attract insect pests to traps. Because it is sometimes difficult to determine whether a substance meets the criteria for classification as a biochemical pesticide, the EPA has established a special committee to make such decisions.

Pesticide residues are the materials that remain on plants and food when a crop is treated with a pesticide. The U.S. government establishes safe residue levels, called tolerances or maximum residue levels, for each food commodity. However, the presence of pesticide residues in food has been a public concern. There has also been a concern about pesticide residues in water, air, and soil. In response to this concern, the U.S. Congress passed the Food Quality Protection Act in 1996, which has had an impact on safety standards for pesticides.

Approaches to pest management have changed significantly since the 1950s and will continue to change as scientists learn more about the toxicity and environmental behavior of pesticides. Scientists will continue to develop newer approaches to insect pest management that are considered to be safer than the use of broad-spectrum pesticides. The most effective strategy for controlling pests may be to combine methods in an approach known as integrated pest management (IPM), which emphasizes preventing pest damage. In IPM information about pests and available pest control methods is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means and causing the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. Methods for pest management will continue to evolve as scientists conduct research and develop new information.

The role of chemistry became irreversibly intertwined with the environment in 1962 when the term “ecosystem” was introduced in Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. One of four works written by Carson, it targeted the now banned pesticide dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), spawning a movement that resulted in the formation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

Knowing Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Knowing Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Integrated pest management is a strategy for pest control. Its goal is not to eradicate but to manage pests such that its population is maintained below that which can cause economic loss to production.

In this strategy, the most important considerations that is given its priority is the safety to humans and animals and the environment.

By nature, Integrated Pest Management depends on a broad and interdisciplinary approach to pest control, incorporating various aspects of the basic control methods such as cultural, biological, legislative, and chemical.

7 Steps in the general decision-making of IPM

1. Identify some destructive and beneficial pests in the area of interest.

Integrated Pest Management uses natural enemies to control pests infestation. Your knowledge in identifying these two groups of organisms, you can make some appropriate method that will selectively kill the pest while protecting the beneficial insect pests.

2. Know the biology of the organisms involved and how the environment influence.

Some pests and diseases  develops or appears when the environment is favorable for their development or appearance.

You should study in your area what insects pests or diseases are mostly apparent in winter, spring, fall or summer.

This way, you can decide what flowers are best suited in its particular conditions.

3. Select an appropriate cultural practice that will be detrimental to pests while favoring the beneficial organisms.

Cultural practices includes the selection of varieties that resists to pests in the field, proper field cultivation, right timing of planting, adequate plant nutrition and water requirements.

4. Develop a pest-monitoring schedule in your garden.

You should make records as to the kinds and populations of pests presence in the flower garden area.

Recording the populations and kinds of pests will give you the possible action to undertake in controlling them

5. Determine the tolerable threshold level of pests population.

IPM per se is aimed at economic pest control. You should know what level of pest population constitutes an economic threat.

When this threshold is reached, an appropriate control strategy should be implemented.

The strategy should take into account the pest species, the stage of plant development, the economic product, and the general environment.

When the threshold level occurs at the early plant growth, it may pose economic threat to your flowers.

However, if it is apparent during maturity, the economic threat may not be a problem. The flowers can still be marketable.

6. Decide  course of action immediately, if the danger is eminent to cause economic threat.

Sometimes the decision is to wait a while. If intervention is delayed, you must increase monitoring of the population dynamics of the pest to avoid any surprise disaster.

7. You should evaluate and follow-up your IPM program.

Strict follow-up and evaluation of IPM program would provide you an appropriate adjustments to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of control measures.

Common control strategies applied for an effective IPM Program

Biological control.

Biological control involves the exploitation of natural defense mechanisms and managing and controlling them to increase their effectiveness.

10 Strategies applied in biological control

1. Structural.

There are some plant species that possesses their natural defense mechanisms against pests attack. Certain species, for example, have hairs (pubescence) on their leaf surfaces and other parts that interfere with oviposition in insects.

Other plants have genetically conditioned structural features such as thick cuticle that sucking and chewing insects have difficulty penetrating.

2. Chemicals.

Certain chemicals extracted from plants have insecticidal action. The most common is the known pytrethrum extracted from the chrysanthemum family called, rotenone and nicotine.

Other species also include neem tree, mamey, and basil, which contains chemicals that repels insect pests or hinders their growth and development into adults.

3. Phytoallexins.

Certain plants exude toxins from the roots into the soil. These toxins prevent the growth of other species in the immediate vicinity.

The species hence maintains a kind of territorial boundary similar to that which occurs in the animal kingdom.

4. Parasitism.

Other insect pests survived with other insects. For example, the Japanese beetle is attacked by the larvae of a beetle, while the adult alfalfa weevil is a host for the eggs of the stingless wasp which hatches inside the weevil, eventually destroying it.

Cyst nematodes are parasitized by certain fungi (e.g. Catenaria auxilianis), and the root-knot nemtatode (Meloidogyne spp.) is parasitized by the fungus Dactylella oviparasitica.

Similarly, bacteriophages are virus that destroy bacteria. These viral parasites occur in the environment.

5. Prey-Predator Relationships.

Birds may prey on insects and rodents. Snakes also prey on rodents that destroy horticultural crops.

Carabid beetles (ground beetles) prey on aphids, caterpillars, slugs. Lacewings (Chrysopa) prey on aphids, spiders prey on flying insects, social wasps prey on caterpillars, and praying mantis prey on different kinds of insects.

6. Antagonism.

Nature has a built-in mechanisms for maintaining balance so that no single organism dominates.

If an organism is introduced into a new environment where its antagonizing organism is not present, the organism can multiply rapidly and pose a great economic threat to vulnerable cultivated plants in the area.

Antagonistic plants that exude toxins against nematodes are known to occur in nature.

7. Repellents.

There are some plant species that exude strong scents that are repulsive to certain insects.

Onion, garlic, and leek have been known to repel aphids, and mint repels cabbage butterflies and flea beetles. Horseradish repels potato bugs, and sage repels cabbage pests and carrot flies.

Marigold repel root nematodes.

By planting these appropriate plant combinations in a particular field, you can gain some degree of plant protection from specific insect pest.

8. Alternative Host (Trap Plants).

Pests have preference for the plant species they attack. If two hosts are available, one may be attacked.

Slugs prefer lettuce over chrysanthemums, and, as such, a good crop of the latter can be produced in the filed by planting lettuce among them as “decoy” plants or trap plants.

Similarly, nematodes may be controlled by planting certain species that prevent the development of the larva into adults.

This practice has the effect of decreasing the population of nematodes in the soil. Clotalaria plants are used to trap the larvae of root-knot nematodes.

9. Biocontrol.

This is used to control fruits such as peach and plum. This control is effected by treating fruits with a suspension of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, which is found to delay brown rot cuased by the fungus Monilinia fruticola.

Biocontrol measures involving other bacteria and fungus exist.

10. Microbial spray (Biopesticides).

Scientists have identified and cultured natural enemies of certain horticultural plants. An infected field is sprayed with large populations of laboratory-cultured microbes.

An aerial application of spores of fungus (Collectotrichum gloesporiodes) has been successfully used to control the northern jointvetch in rice fields.

Another such discoveries were found to be effective to control soil borne diseases such as wilt of potato and verticilium wilt of eggplant.

Another commercially available microbial spray is the Bacillus thuringiensis spray, which is effective against caterpillars or cutworms, corn borers, cabbage worms, and other insect pests.

Cultural Control

Cultural control employs a variety of strategies to eradicate or minimize the proliferation of pests and diseases in flower garden.

5 Strategies applied in cultural control

1. Crop Sanitation.

It is discouraged to apply the monoculture and repeated methods of planting in the garden since this will encourage the buildup of the pests and diseases.

To do away with the buildup of these destructive organisms, you should used the crop rotation methods.

In crop rotation, it reduces the populations of certain soil borne diseases. In vegetable production for example, bacterial wilt of solanaceous plants which is a soil borne disease is reduced at a minimum or even completely eradicated.

Crop rotation is effective in controlling pests and diseases whose causal organisms don’t travel long distance such as, nematodes, weevils, certain wilts, and phytopthora.

2. Field Sanitation.

You should practice cleanliness in the garden to avoid the presence of pests and diseases. Plant debris must be removed and buried in the soil.

While applying sanitation in the garden, you’re also improving the soil fertility since the debris will decompose in the soil.

Infected plant remains must be burned or incinerated to kill the pathogens. Though burning is discourage, but when the diseases is apparent, you can do so in a case to case basis.

3. Use of resistant varieties

Through the intervention of science, plant breeders have made breakthroughs in improving the resistance of plants to pests and diseases.

By collecting wild plants, they crossed with some cultivated varieties that are susceptible to a particular organisms. Wild plants with genes that are resistant is transferred  to the gene of the susceptible cultivated variety to resist diseases and pests.

Resistant varieties exist for most of the major pests of horticultural crops.

4. Eradication of host plants

When the pests and diseases are discernible in the garden and uncontrollable, the best way you can do is to completely eradicate the susceptible host plants.

This method is applied to forestall an eminent pests and diseases epidemic.

On a small scale, eradication of host plants is conducted in the nurseries and greenhouses by removing infected plants.

Certain pathogens require two alternative hosts to complete their life cycle. In such case, the less economically important host should be eliminated to interrupt the cycle of development of the pathogen.

5. Mulching

Applying mulch in your garden gives you peace of mind, since mulch aids in the control of weeds, which may harbor some destructive pests and adds your production cost in weeding.

If you’ll use plastic mulch, it has the capacity to trap heat, which causes the temperature of the soil to increase thereby destroying some soil borne pathogens, including Verticilium.

Legislative control

Government regulatory commissions in every country of the world restricts the transfer of plants without passing through plant quarantine regulations.

This is strictly implemented to control the importation and spread of pests and diseases into areas where they don’t already occur.

Enforcement is especially strict with regards to plants that are of high economic importance.

Mechanical and Physical control

Pests can be controlled by a variety of mechanical or physical methods through human interventions.

8 Strategies applied in mechanical and physical control

Trapping.

A number of mechanical control measures may be applied to pests in the garden or the greenhouse and nursery.

A fly catcher is a strip of paper or polyethylene (yellow in color) coated on both surfaces with a sticky substance. Insects that land onto it get stuck to it and eventually dies.

Some larger mechanical traps are used to catch rodents. Certain lights are designed to attract insects, which then become trapped by other devices installed for the purpose.

2. Handpicking.

If your garden is manageable, handpicking caterpillars, bugs and other insects is good. After picking them, you can pinch them to death or you can carry with you a powder detergent solution placed in container. Once you catch them, put the insects on the solution to death.

3. Putting barriers.

Rodents can be kept out of the garden by fencing galvanized iron around it. A band of sticky paper (similar to fly catcher) wrapped around the base of a tree prevents crawling insects on the ground from climbing up the tree.

4. Proper tillage.

Proper land cultivation should be applied to remove weeds from growing in the area and exposing some soil borne organisms to the sun so they’ll be eradicated.

5. Mulching.

Putting a plastic mulch in your plots gives you lots of benefits, though the cost of plastic mulch is quiet high, but the return on investment is offset in the long run. The benefit in the use of plastic mulch have been discussed in the previous chapter of this book.

6. Heat treatment.

In the greenhouse and nursery, the soil and other growing media are routinely sterilized before use to kill nematodes and water molds.

To kill nematodes and water molds, the temperature should be around 50°C or 122°F.

To kill bacteria, fungi, and worms, the temperature requirement should be about 72°C or 162°F. For weed seeds, viruses, and some bacteria, the required temperature to kill them should be about 82°C or 180°F

7. Cold treatment.

Most post harvest protection of fresh products is achieved through cold treatment to maintain product quality. Cold storage does not kill pathogens but slows their activity.

8. Radiation.

Gamma radiation  in an appropriate dosage to harvested products prolong their shelf. In greenhouses, a glazed UV-absorbing material is installed so that radiation with a wavelength below 390 nanometers is not received in the greenhouse.

Chemical control

In integrated Pest Management, chemical control is considered the last method applied when the presence of pests and diseases are at their uncontrollable proportion. (Refer to the previous chapter on the discussion of this topic  under insecticides).

Pests Management tips for Farmers:

Managing Pests is hectic as well as a challenging job for the farmers to concentrate. Pests are inevitable in farms which every farmer is aware of, and they try taking steps to rectify it. However, only some will succeed in controlling the pests. It’s because that the steps taken by them is neither effective nor the procedure taken in inappropriate. As a solution for this, the farmers are given appraisals regarding pest controlling techniques.

Healthy farms need a lot of efforts to make sure. In addition, Patience and Confidence of farmers are considered vital and are required at every stage in order the overcome the hurdles, they face each season. Plant inefficiency is because of three reasons: inappropriate method of farming, inadequate vigilance, and ineffective remedies. Nature of soil has to be considered in identifying the type of pest. Here are some tips and techniques to be practiced reaping positive results:

First step to be implanted is the Crop Rotation. Farmers are requested to rotate crops with respect to the seasons that prevail. This can make the soil fertile and healthy for the plants to intake the required nutrients.
Before planting the crops, one should make the land free from undulations to avoid water stagnation. Because of water stagnation, crops are damaged.
Spacing of Plantation is another aspect that should be considered in Pests control. Leave enough space between crops so that air circulation is set free, and it also makes the job of pest inspection easy.
Proper Fencing is needed to prevent the invasion of crop eating animals.
Soil is made smooth by using worm culture technique. This can make the availability of nutrients easier for the plants.
Use Bio-pesticides like neem oil spray for controlling pests. Neem Oil has the heavy odor that it makes the plants unpleasant for the pests to consume.
Caution: Do not spray Neem Oil over the leaves that are exposed to sunlight as it can cause burns.
A farmer needs to prepare strategies for controlling every single type of pests. For example: Stem borers can be identified by the stalk powder at the base of the plant. Thus remedial measure is taken by spraying Neem Oil at the base of the plant.
Farm Owners need to monitor the damage levels and prioritize the evaluation of the damages accordingly.

Pest Management is more essential for the farmers to see profit from their farms. Accurate and appropriate measures can help them to overcome it.

LEED Certified Pest Management

Twenty First Century Pest Control is not the same as the old days. I recently attended the 76th Annual NPMA National Pest Management Association Pest World Convention, where we had the largest attendance at a pest control convention to date. The Pest Control industry really understands the importance of coming together as an industry and supporting one another. We were told that attendance was up nearly 20% while most other industry associations are having tough times at their annual conventions. Our industry understands the need to network with our peers, work together to come up with strategies to push through the economy, and look forward into new products and materials made available to the pest control industry.

Today everyone is talking about being “Green” including the pest control industry. This movement has already started to morph, into even more technical areas in the green pest control arena than previously thought it would. Originally, “Green” products were developed by a few vendors, and some companies adopted the use of these products into their services and called it “Green” because the products themselves were “Eco Friendly.”

However, at this year’s convention, there was a lot more introduced on this subject, for example, NPMA has “Quality Pro Certification” this is like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Pest control, and they now have a Quality Pro Green certification, that has put together scopes of service, more IPM related programs, staff training, etc… This program brings uniformity to our industry because there are a number of green programs out there, but each is different and not all are recognized as a certified programs with set compliance standards.

While this is all great stuff, we learned that every industry is working more toward becoming “Green” and until recently the definition was different everywhere you looked. Today, through programs such as LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, many industries are coming together to promote “Green” by working together under a more defined structure. Whether it’s cleaning products, air conditioning, landscaping, type of flooring materials, plant care, pest control, etc…, Green is about an environment that is comfortable, safe, bug and pest free, energy efficient and environmentally sound.

Pest control companies are paramount to green programs because we are already accustom to Integrated Pest Management where we focus on Inspection, sanitation recommendations, necessary exclusion (sealing up holes and cracks where not only pests can enter, but also dust and heating and air conditioning can exit), cultural issues, biological controls and of course a judicious utilization of pesticides where necessary. Throughout our evolution from pest control to LEED Certified Pest Management programs, communication is ever increasing in importance, and our service personnel must be masters of reporting, measuring, monitoring and communicating to all the necessary parties involved, including service partners for additional building operations.

Professionalism is key to the evolution of the Pest Control industry, IPM – Integrated Pest Management is the central core of “green” pest management and communication is the glue to a superior LEED Certified Pest Management Program.
A vendor who wants to operate at a level high enough to provide LEED Certified Pest Management must be able to work at a level that will work within the standards set by the LEED program that reduces the risk and reliance on pesticides, while still providing the ultimate goal of building owners and managers, that is; You were hired to “take care” of the problems.

This can be a tough bill to fill, but by being sensitive to the customer’s goals and understanding your requirements can be fun and certainly is a challenge that Invader Pest Management has stepped up to the plate and accepted.

It hardly needs to be mentioned that you succeed or fail in your marketing by the amount of trust you generate among your target audience in your brand name. A slight chink in the trust may tell adversely on your reputation as an honest businessman and your sales will start falling immediately.

Another reason for a fall in your reputation may be the smear campaign launched by your competitors against you. They may tarnish your name and your business without any valid reason or fault on your part.

This kind of injustice is a common phenomenon in the internet marketing. Your competitor writes just one article against you and submits it to hundreds of directories.

Alternately, your adversary sponsors AdWords ads against your site on the first page of some popular search engine. The ad may be somewhat like this: Be Careful Of This Fraud (keyword). This is sufficient to annul years of hard work put in by you to bring your business to its present level.

Taking steps to maintain and further boost your reputation as an honest businessman in such circumstances is called online reputation management.

One way to persuade your competitor is to request him politely to remove the offending comments and then threaten him with legal action if he still persists. If this tactic also fails, it would be better to fight him out at his own ground, that is, by playing the SEO game with him.

You can try to push the page/site with offensive comments to the second results page of search engine, for example, Google.  This can be achieved through several steps;

1. Push other sites that have lower rank than your competitor’s site above it on the Google research page. Assuming the site with the negative comments against you ranks fourth on Google page, you should try to boost the rank of the sites below it to supersede it to a higher rank.

You can do so by applying SEO techniques. You can, for example, add favorable comments on this site. Book mark it in as many social media sites such as Technocrati, Digg, Delicious etc as possible. You may even write positive reviews about it on the home page of your site by placing links at suitable places.

2. Ask someone you know who commands authority for his site to write a good review for your site and publish the same on your home page saying: What others are saying about us.

3. Create new content and syndicate it through articles, blogs, newsletters, etc for seoing your own site. You may also submit the content for syndication through RSS feeds. In this way you can indirectly persuade the audience to ignore the comments against your site.

4. Create new sub-domains or sister domains of your site. Google often considers the sub-domains as different sites, but they command the same authority as the primary domain. Post preferably new content on the sub-domain site. You need not fill it with hundreds of pages. Just 10-12 pages should suffice.

Reputation management basically involves delivering (sometimes over-delivering) what you promise in terms of quality and quantity. Once this trust is built up, it is difficult for your adversaries to shake it.
