Pest Control

The EH&S Pest Management team uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to determine if treatment is needed.

IPM employs physical, mechanical, cultural, biological, and educational methods to limit pest problems. The least toxic chemical pesticides are used only as a last resort.
