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?

SF least toxic pesticide list

Hi All, Our client is using pesticides which are neither included in SF pesticide list nor active ingredients are found in that list. Our client is following local regulations for pesticide use in India as well as he is providing universal notification to the building occupants. Will that be sufficient to achieve this credit?

Providing universal notification will keep you compliant if you're not able to source a least toxic pesticide. But, you will also need to demonstrate that IPM strategies were attempted prior to applying the pesticides. Without evidence of the IPM strategies attempted, the credit could be in jeopardy. Also, San Francisco has posted its hazard screening protocol, which you may be able to use to source preferable pesticides available in India. Even so, providing universal notification would still be prudent. http://www.sfenvironment.org/article/pest-management/least-toxic-pesticides-for-green-buildings
