Carefully examine pest management service offerings to verify that IPM is truly applied. Since IPM is still gaining traction in the industry, vendors often claim to practice IPM, even if they don’t fully understand the intent or requirements of it. Also, not all IPM programs are LEED-compliant. For example, if your vendor monitors pest populations, ensures that loading docks and trash receptacles are kept clean, and uses mechanical pest controls most of the time, but doesn’t provide universal notification when applying pesticides, their IPM program does not comply with the requirements.
