A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
All areas maintained have a four-tiered management system, however all areas are not equal in tolerance and /or action thresholds. These thresholds are based on pedestrian traffic, tolerance thresholds set down by building occupants and historic importance of an area.
Our objective is to survey/monitor selected areas on campus and determine if the thresholds of a pest warrants chemical applications. Also, we incorporate best management practices such as aeration, fertilization and proper irrigation to promote healthy trees, shrubs and turf.
