Hello, the herbicide used at one of our properties consists of 98% proprietary ingredients. If the manufacturer will not provide a breakdown, would we be disqualified for this credit? Thank you.

Hi Elizabeth, maybe you could treat it as a non-least toxic product and use universal notification? (As long as it's not being used on a frequent/recurring basis).

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?
