FAQs about IEQc3.6 :

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?

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?

Heads up that an updated list came out in September 2013 and can be accessed here - www.sfenvironment.org/sites/default/files/fliers/files/sfe_th_pesticides_reviewed_091313.pdf We'll be updating the LEEDuser plan template shortly, Trista

We are currently in the performance period and have an IPM plan that was written with the previous version of the template and SF list. The plan and (older) SF list are part of the contract with the pest management service. Do we need to amend our pest management contract to refer to the new SF list? Are there other changes in the template that need to be addressed?

Hi Jennifer, I recommend updating your vendor contract with the new list (I don't think this would be too onerous for them to follow), and also updating your plan. GBCI will allow a grace period if your plan references the old list but at some point they'll start asking projects to make the update.

Hello all - Please note that the list of pesticide tier rankings posted above are no longer valid and are being removed from our website. The reason: Hazard rankings are a moving target, with new findings coming out frequently. Boric acid, for example, is no longer Tier III due to a recent determination by the European Union. I would highly recommend using the Pesticide Research Institute's web tool instead, which will give you a more accurate read on the Tier ranking (ot's by subscription but reasonable): http://www.pesticideresearch.com/site/evaluator/ Remember: Tier III products are not required for the credit, just for avoiding universal notification.
