Magic's Green Program consists:
All pest problems should follow an IPM protocol which consists of:
- 1. Inspection
- 2. Customer education, also known as Cultural modification
- 3. Habitat modification, which includes pest exclusion
- 4. Plan of action, which includes the judicious use of pesticides
- 5. Evaluation and documentation
- 6. Re-inspection to determine the success of the program

Habitat modification, which includes pest exclusion

Pests may be controlled through a plan of action, which includes the judicious use of pesticides:
- Mechanical or physical controls including but not limited to traps, light, or sound
- Lures and repellants using non-synthetic or synthetic substances consistent with the National List.
A pesticide consistent with IPM Institute of North America's "Green Certification" program and [National Organic Program (NOP)or the Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI)] only if the other non-chemical steps are not effective or sufficient
