A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
The College is committed to using Integrated Pest Management programs and procedures for control of structural and landscape pests across all areas of campus. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emphasizes prevention and elimination of pest conditions. In the IPM process, monitoring and interpretation of data collected provides estimates of pest populations in a given area. Monitoring allows accurate decisions to be made about what type of intervention measures may be needed and when is the optimum time to apply them.When chemical pesticides are necessary, a preference is given to materials and methods that maximize public safety and reduce environmental risk.
