A brief description of the IPM program:
We work with a third party - Van Yahres Company - to help us with pest management. We tried several times to get information from them for this report, but they are undergoing a restructuring of their company and were not able to provide details of their IPM program. We will continue to attempt to nail down their program to see if it complies with the standards set forth by the EPA. However, we feel at this time that it's best for us to go ahead and submit this report.
