A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
SDSU Facilities Grounds Department supports a fully integrated pest management system. Facilities IMP is based on action thresholds. Thresholds determined according to two criteria 1) acceptable appearance 2) likely hood of larger infestation of plant materials.
Grounds staff monitor, identify and treat for pests weekly. Strategies to reduce the necessity for treatment include: avoiding planting or removal susceptible species, inspection of new plant materials prior to installing, using cultural practices to insure optimal plant health control.
Protocol include 1) using lowest environmental impact control available 2) priority consideration for the health and safety of staff and student and 3) removal of affected plant material if criteria for 1 and/or 2 cant be met. SDSU contracts with an outside pest management company Knotts Pest Control contractor that specializes in pest management for most of our pesticide application.
