Integrated Pest Management. The New Jersey School Integrated Pest Management Act of 2002 requires schools to implement a school integrated pest management policy. The law requires the Superintendent of the School District, for each school in the District, to implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) procedures to control pests and minimize exposure of children, faculty and staff to pesticides. Upper Township School District shall therefore develop and maintain an IPM plan as part of the school’s policy.
Integrated Pest Management. The Building manages indoor pests in a way that protects human health and the surrounding environment. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) calls for using least-toxic chemical pesticides, minimum use of chemicals and using chemicals only in targeted locations and only for targeted species. Tenants have an important role in IPM. Generally, tenant are asked to keep their premises clean and to call Building management upon becoming aware of a pest issue.
Integrated Pest Management. For purposes of this Agreement, IPM means, as described by EPA on its IPM Principles website, as of the Effective Date, “an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. … IPM takes advantage of all appropriate pest management options including, but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides.”
Integrated Pest Management a. CONTRACTOR shall be provided with a copy of the City of Fairfield Integrated Pest Management (1PM) Policy and shall adhere to the practices contained within the Policy.

Integrated Pest Management. Shifts may start as early as 5 a.m.
Integrated Pest Management. As defined at Section 482.021(15), Florida Statutes, as may be modified from time to time, the selection, integration, and implementation of multiple pest control techniques based on predictable economic, ecological, and sociological consequences, making maximum use of naturally occurring pest controls, such as weather, disease agents, and parasitoids, using various biological, physical, chemical, and habitat modification methods of control, and using artificial controls only as required to keep particular pests from surpassing intolerable population levels predetermined from an accurate assessment of the pest damage potential and the ecological, sociological, and economic cost of other control measures.
Integrated Pest Management. The Authority shall ensure that all pesticide applicators provide a pest management program that abides by federal and provincial legislation, and that incorporates integrated pest management principles and practices to reduce the use of broad-spectrum pesticides. The goal of is to manage pests effectively, safety and economically, (a) reducing the use of broad-spectrum pesticides, and using more specific control products; reducing the level of toxicity of products used, and avoiding products officially known or suspected of being human carcinogens; using alternate control methods; and improving and perfecting application methods. is an approach to pest management that integrates all pest management practices and control methods into one pest management program. does not usually try to eliminate all pests, but tries to reduce the pest population to an acceptable level. In the use of pesticides is advocated as a last resort only. involves identifying pests, determining the cause and source of the pest, knowing the pest's life cycle, behaviour effects on its host, and the most vulnerable period in its life cycle; and monitoring pest activities and the effectiveness of control or management methods. requires knowing and using available methods, such as (a) approved biological controls including parasitic and predatory insects and host-specific pathogens; maximizing a plant's health and minimizing its susceptibility to pest infestations by crop rotation, moisture control, planting techniques, and sanitation; genetic selection, i.e., choosing resistant species and varieties of plants; mechanical controls, e.g. trapping, cultivating, physical barriers; (e) the use of pesticides which are of relatively low toxicity to human and animal populations, and of low persistency in the environment; e.g., insecticidal soaps; the use of conventional pesticides in a prescribed manner. and Posting Requirements Five days prior to a scheduled indoor pesticide application (and hours prior to an outdoor application), all potentially exposed employees shall be informed of the intended pesticide application by way of posted signs and a notice. In emergency cases, the indoor five-day period can be shortened following consultation with potentially-exposed employees. Signs and notices shall include: The following wording: "Warning Pesticides Pesticides utilizes"; name of the product to be used; registration number; reason for application; of application; telephone number to contact fo...

Integrated Pest Management. A holistic approach to managing insects, plant disease, weeds and other pests so that their populations do not exceed a tolerable level by fostering an environment favorable for plants and other beneficial organisms and unfavorable for pests. If pest problems arise a variety of control techniques are considered, with least toxic pesticides being applied as a last resort.
Integrated Pest Management. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods should be used to the extent possible to remove and exterminate rodents, insects, and other pests. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. IPM is the selection, integration, and implementation of multiple pest control techniques based on predictable economic, ecological, and sociological consequences, making maximum use of naturally occurring pest controls, such as weather, disease agents, and parasitoids, using various biological, physical, chemical, and habitat modification methods of control, and using artificial controls only as required to keep particular pests from surpassing intolerable population levels predetermined from an accurate assessment of the pest damage potential and the ecological, sociological, and economic cost of other control measures. Once monitoring, identification, and action thresholds indicate that pest control is required, and preventive methods are no longer effective or available, IPM programs then evaluate the proper control method, both for effectiveness and risk. Effective, less risky pest controls are chosen first, including highly targeted chemicals, such as pheromones to disrupt pest mating, or mechanical control, such as trapping or weeding. If further monitoring, identifications and action thresholds indicate that less risky controls are not working, then additional pest control methods would be employed, such as targeted spraying of pesticides. Application(s) of non-specific pesticides is a last resort. All label directions shall be followed.
