A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Our grounds crew works to identify and treat the cause of pests, rather than simply trying to control populations. For example, a student worker is hired to empty campus trash cans to eliminate yellow jackets. In addition, our grounds crew keeps campus lawns taller than average. This keeps the grass healthier, making it harder for weeds to compete and reducing the need for herbicides.
