Integrated Pest Management

What is IPM?

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a sustainable approach that emphasizes ecosystem-based strategies that result in economical and long-term solutions to pest problems. The objective for IPM practitioners is to minimize risks to human health and the environment from the pest management actions implemented. IPM is a holistic approach that seeks to manage pests by using methods that are effective, economically sound, and ecologically compatible. IPM practitioners base decisions on information that is collected systematically as they integrate economic, environmental, and social goals.

The CT Legislature passed a new IPM requirement during special session (June 2015) that increases the reporting requirements for using IPM. Part of these requirements is each year, beginning March 15, 2016, local or regional Board of Education must send an email notification to each parent that has signed up to receive the notifications, a list of all pesticides used from January 1 thru March 15 in the current year and a list of all pesticides applied from March 15 thru December 31^st of the prior year.

If you are interested in receiving email notifications, please send me an email with your name and address to: smills@wlps.org
