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?

EBOM-2009 IEQc3.6:Green Cleaning—Indoor Integrated Pest Management

Scheduled pest management not a good strategy?

Is scheduled pest management activities (for example once a month) not an appropriate strategy under this credit? Does the credit mean that you can only apply pesticides when you identify significant pest activity in the facility? Thank you.

Hi Magda, The intent of this credit is to apply integrated pest management strategies and reduce pesticides usage. Scheduled pest management is not a strategy to earn this credit. Pesticide usage should only be done when an issue is identified and it should be your last resort. If you do need to apply pesticides, use the least toxic options first. And if a situation arises in which you need to use a non least toxic pesticide , universal notification to the building occupants must be provided.
