A brief description of the IPM program:
HEC Montréal is managing its land in accordance with the four-tiered approach. First, pest control activities are conducted only when the presence of pest is detected, using homologated pesticide in accordance with the Québec Code de gestion des pesticides. No HEC staff uses regulated pest control product except the one identified as low impact pest control product for weed control. Hazardous pest control product, such as mouse or insect biocide, are use only when other non-artificial means, such as prevention and engineering improvement, failed to prevent pest. Ash trees are also identified and submitted to preventive treatment for emerald ash borer. Infected ash tree are rapidly identify and eliminated in accordance with local regulation.
