Our client uses pesticides/chemicals which are allowed to use in India as per local regulation. None of the pesticides or active ingredients from the SF list of Least toxic pesticide reflect in local regulation or are available in India. Our client is providing Universal notification to building occupants for all pesticides usages as and when they occur. Will it be sufficient to achieve SS CR 3-IPM & IEQ cr 3.6 Green Cleaning- IPM? thanks in advance

FAQs about IEQc3.6:

If pest management of interior/exterior plants is conducted by a separate vendor, do they have to comply with the IPM requirements?

Most of the chemicals being used for my project are not listed in the San Francisco Reduced-Risk Pesticide List. Does this mean that the credit cannot be achieved?

We have notified the tenants 72 hours prior to the pesticide application but now the pest control vendor needs to refill the toxic pesticide. Do we need to use universal notification for a refill?

If I’m only applying pesticides to one floor in my building. Am I required to notify all tenants, or can I just notify the occupants on that floor?

What do I do if have a project outside the U.S. where many of the pesticides listed on the San Francisco Reduced-Risk Pesticide List are not available?

What are the different requirements for implementing the IPM Plan for SSc3 versus IEQc3.6?

Are rodent baits ever considered least toxic?

Is there a required frequency for pest service site visits in order to be considered integrated pest management? How frequent and how rigorous should the inspections be in order to comply?
