ACEF Webinar - Effective & Efficient School Facilities Maintenance - Integrated Pest Management
Channel: Texas Center for Educational Facilities
Date: 2013-04-01

Structural and landscape pests can pose a significant problem to people, property and the environment.  Pesticides and herbicides can also pose risks to people, property, and the environment.  Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecologically based pest management strategy that provides long-term management of pest problems with minimum impact on human health, the environment, and non-target organisms.  IPM programs are education-based and apply the user's knowledge of pest biology and its relationship within the environment to prevent and resolve pest problems.  This webinar is designed to educate educational stakeholders about what is IPM, how it can be incorporated into the school district without additional costs and in conjunction with the facilities department.
