Integrated Pest Management Plans for All Facilities, Including LEED®

Pest control is vital to protecting our quality of life, food and water sources, and environment. How pest control is achieved is just as vital to the long-term safety and sustainability of our health, buildings, and natural resources. This course discusses how integrated pest management (IPM) suppresses pest populations in effective, economical, and environmentally safe ways, and details how to establish an IPM plan for a facility, including LEED® building projects.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Define integrated pest management (IPM) and explain how its pest control methodologies differ from those of traditional pest control.
• Identify the elements of an IPM plan and the types of control methods used for effective pest suppression while minimizing economic, ecological, and human health risks.
• Describe the IPM process and how its interrelated steps are essentially the framework of a structural IPM program.
• Discuss how pest control methods are selected and applied, highlighting the importance of documenting and monitoring all pest-control-related activities to ensure an effective IPM program implementation.
• Explain the economic and environmental advantages of establishing an IPM plan for a facility and the LEED® credits that may be available for its use in a building project.
