This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.
There is no formal IPM policy at Fleming, however, the College does make decisions such as not to use pesticides and adopt traditional pest control measures. The grounds are kept natural with no irrigation done.
In addition, a local company (Lloyd’s Pest Control) is hired by the College for indoor and perimeter buildings. Lloyd’s Pest Control practices controlling pests using the guiding principals of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. Lyoyd's defines IPM as a decision-making process that anticipates and prevents pest activity and infestation by combining several strategies to achieve long-term solutions.
Components of the IPM program include education, proper waste management, structural repair, maintenance, mechanical control techniques, and pesticide application when necessary. The program may include the use of pesticides; however, the amount required will likely be reduced.
