A brief description of the IPM program:
According to our Sustainable Purchasing and Design Policy, when maintaining buildings and landscapes, Gonzaga shall manage pest problems through prevention and the use of environmentally friendly products. We may either adopt and implement an organic pest management policy and practices or adopt and implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policy and practices using the least toxic pest control as a last resort. However, at the time of this report we do not have an IPM plan. We do follow the concepts of one. Plant Services manages pest problems through prevention and the use of environmentally friendly products. The use of herbicides and pesticides is on an as needed basis, rather than a preventative basis.
