Common use of Pesticide Products and Use Clause in Contracts

Pesticide Products and Use. When a professional pesticide must be used for adequate control, the Contractor shall apply an appropriate Department-authorized professional-use pesticide and comply with all instructions and precautions noted on the specimen label as well as Department specifications, which are a subset of the labeling. The Contractor shall apply pesticides according to the label and Department specifications (refer to the Department’s Integrated Pest Management Program document). All pesticides used by the Contractor must be registered and authorized by the Department. The contractor’s transport, handling, and use of all pesticides shall be in strict accordance with the manufacturer's label instructions; all applicable U.S. Federal laws and regulations; and any applicable international or host country laws and regulations. The Contractor shall minimize the use of liquid pesticide applications wherever possible. For example, as a general rule, the contractor shall apply pesticide formulations only as spot and/or crack, and crevice treatments with application devices specifically designed or modified for this purpose.  "Crack and crevice treatment" is defined as an application in which the stream of pesticide is never visible. Small amounts of insecticides are applied into cracks and crevices in which insects hide or through which they may enter buildings. Such openings commonly occur at expansion joints, between different elements of construction, and between equipment and floors. These openings may lead to voids such as hollow walls, equipment legs and bases, conduits, motor housings, junction or switch boxes.  “Spot applications” are limited to areas in which insects are likely to occur, but which will not be in contact with food or utensils and will not ordinarily be contacted by workers. These areas may occur on floors, walls, and bases or undersides of equipment. For this purpose, a “spot” will not exceed 3 square feet. The Contractor shall restrict application of pesticide liquid, aerosol, or dust to exposed surfaces, and pesticide space sprays (including fogs, mists, and ultra-low volume applications), to unique situations where no alternative measures are practical. Special authorization will be required from the COR. If the proposed pesticide is not already authorized in the Department’s Integrated Pest Management Program document, the Contractor must submit a written request for authorization to the COR before applying the pesticide. The COR shall render a decision regarding the treatment before its application. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to ensure tenant and employee safety, and all necessary steps to ensure the containment of the pesticide to the site of application. Other than spot or crack and crevice treatments, the Contractor shall make no applications of professional-use pesticides while tenant occupants are present. Rodent Control
