A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
IPM Management team oversees all pest management. Colby focuses on inspection for early detection of pests, and preventative measures, with non-chemical applications first. Decisions are based on campus priority zones. No chemicals are used without IPM management team approval (organic products given priority). Knowledgeable and licensed professionals are used when chemical applications are deemed necessary.
