I. INTRODUCTION
In accordance with Senate Bill 637(incorporated into ORS Chapter 634 upon finalization in 2009)
requiring all school districts to approach pest management with the least possible risk to students and
staff, the Redmond School District adopts this integrated pest management (IPM) plan for use on the
campuses of our district.

II. DEFINITION OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

Integrated Pest Management, also known as IPM, is a process for achieving long-term,
environmentally sound pest suppression through a wide variety of tactics including sanitation, pest
exclusion, cultural, mechanical, procedural and other non-chemical methods to reduce the food,
water, shelter and access used by pests. Since IPM focuses on remediation of the fundamental
reasons of why pests are here, pesticides are rarely used and only when necessary.

A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended to prevent, destroy, repel or mitigate
any pest. Pests can be insects, mice and other animals, weeds, fungi or micro-organisms. Though
often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide also applies to herbicides,
fungicides, rodenticides and various other substances used to control pests. A pesticide is also any
substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant growth regulator, defoliant or
desiccant.

IPM Basics
Education and Communication: The foundation for an effective IPM program is education and
communication. Pests can be managed effectively knowing what conditions can cause pest
problems, why and how to monitor for pests, proper identification, pest behavior and pest biology.

Communication about pest issues is essential. A protocol for reporting pests or conditions conducive
to pests and a record of what action was taken is the most important part of an effective IPM
program.

Cultural & Sanitation Practices: Knowing how human behavior encourages pests helps prevent them
from becoming a problem. Small changes in cultural or sanitation practices can have significant
effects on reducing pest populations. Cleaning under kitchen serving counters, reducing clutter in
classrooms, putting dumpsters further from kitchen doors/loading docks, proper irrigation scheduling,
and over-seeding of turf areas are all examples of cultural and sanitation practices that can be
employed to reduce pests.

Physical & Mechanical Controls: Rodent traps, sticky monitoring traps for insects, door sweeps on
external doors, sealing holes under sinks, proper building and landscape drainage, mulching of
landscape cuttings/trimmings, and keeping vegetation at least 24 inches from buildings are all
examples of physical and mechanical control.

Pesticides: IPM focuses on remediation of the fundamental reasons why pests are present.
Pesticides will be used rarely as the mechanism of control and only when alternative options fail to be
effective or are an unreasonable course of action.

III. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN STRATEGY

The following, as defined in ORS 634.700, is the basis for the IPM plan for the Redmond School
District. It is a proactive strategy that:
A. Focuses on the long-term prevention or suppression of pest problems through
economically sound measures that:

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 3

 1. Protect the health and safety of students, staff and faculty;
2. Protect the integrity of campus buildings and grounds;
3. Maintain a productive learning environment; and
4. Protect local ecosystem health;

B. Focuses on the prevention of pest problems by working to reduce or eliminate

conditions of property construction, operation and maintenance that promote or allow for the
establishment, feeding, breeding and proliferation of pest populations or other conditions that
are conducive to pests or that create harborage for pests;

C. Includes regular monitoring and inspections to detect pests, pest damage and
unsanctioned pesticide usage;

D. Evaluates the need for pest control by identifying acceptable pest population density levels;

E. Monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of pest control measures;

F. Excludes the application of pesticides on a routine schedule for purely preventive purposes,
other than applications of pesticides designed to attract or be consumed by pests;

G. Excludes the application of pesticides for purely aesthetic purposes;

H. Includes school staff education about sanitation, monitoring and inspection of pest control
measures;

I. Gives preference to the use of non-chemical pest control measures;

J. Allows the use of low-impact pesticides if non-chemical pest control measures are
ineffective; and

K. Allows the application of a pesticide that is not listed as a low-impact pesticide only to
mitigate a declared pest emergency or at the direction/order of a public health official.

To avoid a proliferation of pests and/or unnecessary applications of pesticides, several steps must be
taken before any “routine” applications are allowed:

1. Staff must be educated on sanitation, monitoring, and exclusion as the primary means to
control the pest.
2. An acceptable pest population density level must be established.
3. The use of sanitation, structural remediation, habitat manipulation, mechanical control or
biological control methods must be incorporated into the management strategy of the pest.
4. Documentation that the above steps were ineffective.
5. The pesticide label must be read thoroughly to make sure the pesticide will be used in strict
compliance with all label instructions.

IV. SCHOOL DISTRICT IPM PLAN COORDINATOR

ORS 634.720 states that the Coordinator “must be an employee of the governed district, unit, school
or entity, unless the governing body delegates pest management duties to an independent
contractor.”

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 4

The Redmond School District designates the Lead Groundskeeper as the IPM Plan Coordinator
under the supervision of the Facilities Supervisor. The Coordinator is key to successful IPM
implementation in our school district and is given the authority for overall implementation and
evaluation of this plan. The Coordinator is responsible for:

A. Attending not less than six hours of IPM training each year;
The training shall include at least a general review of IPM principles and the requirements of

grounds, faculty, and kitchen staff) about the school’s IPM plan;
C. Providing training as outlined in Section VII below;
D. Overseeing pest prevention efforts by working with custodians, teachers, and maintenance to
reduce clutter and food in the classrooms, and sealing up pest entry points;
E. Assuring that the decision-making process for implementing IPM in the district is followed by
continually assessing and improving the pest monitoring, reporting and action protocol.
F. Assuring that all notification, posting, and record-keeping requirements are met when the
decision to make a pesticide application is made;
G. Maintaining the approved pesticides list; and
H. Responding to inquiries and complaints about IPM noncompliance in writing and maintaining
the written record.

conducive conditions, participating in monitoring and reporting, attending IPM training(s),
and cooperating with the district’s IPM Plan Coordinator.

VI. MONITORING, REPORTING AND ACTION PROTOCOLS

A. Monitoring
Monitoring is the most important requirement of ORS 634.700 – 634.750. It is the
backbone of the Redmond School District’s IPM Program. It provides recent and accurate
information to make intelligent and effective pest management decisions. It is defined as the
regular and ongoing recorded inspection of areas where pest problems do or might occur.
As much as possible, being on the lookout for pests is to be incorporated into the daily activities of
all school staff. Staff training on observing/monitoring will include what to look for and how to
record and report the information.

1. Level 1 Monitoring: Casual observation with no recordkeeping (proven not helpful)

2. Level 2 Monitoring: Casual observations with written observations (proven helpful)
a. All staff will be trained to improve their “casual observing/looking” to level 2 standards and
to report any pests and pest-conducive conditions they observe during the normal course
of their daily work. (Reminder: Communication is key to pest management.)

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 7

 b. IPM monitoring shall be conducted by all Redmond School District personnel and
construction workers.
c. After receiving IPM training, staff will be expected to report any observed pests or pest
conducive conditions to the custodian or IPM Plan Coordinator.
d. Custodial, maintenance, and kitchen staff are expected to set and/or check sticky
monitoring traps in accordance with the district’s IPM plan.
e. A written pest log of all reported pest sightings, indications of the presence of pests and
any situations conducive to attracting and harboring pests, as well as the actions taken for
intervention will be maintained in the custodial office of each school, at the main office of
the Transportation Office and in the office of the IPM Plan Coordinator at the District
Office.

3. Level 3 Monitoring:
a. By careful inspections with written checklists, the IPM Plan Coordinator (or designee) and
Custodians will periodically monitor structures for:
i. Pest conducive conditions inside and outside the building (e.g. structural deterioration,
holes that allow pests to enter, conditions that provide pest harborage)
ii. The level of sanitation inside and out (e.g. waste disposal procedures, level of
cleanliness inside and out, conditions that supply food and water to pests)
iii. The amount of pest damage and the number and location of pest signs (e.g. rodent
droppings, termite shelter tubes, cockroaches caught in sticky traps, etc.)
iv. Human behaviors that affect the pests (e.g. working conditions that make it impossible
to close doors or screens, food preparation procedures that provide food for pests,
etc.)
v. IPM management activities (e.g. caulking/sealing, cleaning, setting out traps, treating
pests, etc.) and the effects on the pest population.

b. Grounds staff will monitor the turf and landscape for:

i. The condition of the plants (e.g. vigor and appearance)
ii. The amount of plant damage
iii. The pH, phosphorus, and potassium levels of the turf by conducting soil tests every 3-
4 years
iv. The kind and abundance of pests (e.g. weeds, insects, mites, moles, etc.) as well as
natural enemies (e.g. ladybugs, spiders, lacewing larvae, syrphid fly larvae, etc.)
v. Any effects from unusual weather conditions in recent weeks
vi. Proper drainage
vii. Human behaviors that affect the plants or pests (e.g. foot traffic that compacts the soil,
physical damage to plants caused by people, insistence on having certain plants grow
in inappropriate situations, etc.)
viii. Effects of management activities on plants and the pest population (e.g. pruning,
fertilizing, mulching, aeration, treating pests, etc.)

B. Responsibilities for Sticky Traps

Sticky traps are neither a substitute for pesticides nor an alternative for reducing pest populations.
They are a diagnostic tool to aid in identifying a pest’s presence, their reproductive stage, the likely
direction pests are coming from and the number of pests. All staff will be made aware of the traps
and their purpose so they do not disturb them. See Section V for delineation of responsibilities.

C. Reporting “Pests of Concern”

“A pest of concern” is a pest determined to be a public health risk or a significant nuisance pest.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 8

These include cockroaches (disease vectors, asthma triggers), mice and rats (disease vectors,
asthma triggers), yellow jackets (sting can cause anaphylactic shock), cornered nutria, raccoons,
cats, dogs, opossums, skunks (they can bite), and bed bugs (significant nuisance pest).

When pests of concern (or their droppings, nests, etc.) are observed, staff must immediately report
the observations to the building custodian. The custodian must record the findings in the pest log and
contact the IPM Plan Coordinator promptly.

D. Action Protocols
If maintenance and custodial staff cannot interpret what they find from observations of pests, signs of
pests or conditions conducive for pests, they are to contact the IPM Plan Coordinator for assistance.

Any structural issues that maintenance or custodial staff observe or are notified of that they can
resolve in less than 15 minutes (such as sealing up holes) should be addressed immediately.
Observations and actions are to be recorded on the site’s pest management log located in the
custodian’s office.

Any issues that cannot be resolved in less than 15 minutes are to be submitted by work ticket and
marked for urgency of completion. The Facility Supervisor will make a determination who is the
appropriate party to take action and the IPM Plan Coordinator will be notified. The issue needs to
also be recorded on the site Pest Log located in the custodian’s office.

The IPM Plan Coordinator and the Facilities Supervisor will monitor the completion of the work order.
Time and money spent to manage the pest will be recorded on the work ticket.

1. Action Protocol for Management of Small Ants (Also see Appendix 1A):
When staff observes a small number of ants (e.g. under 10 ants) they must:
a. Spend two minutes trying to find out where the ants are coming from;
b. Kill the ants with a paper towel or similar disposable item;
c. Remove any food or liquid the ants were eating;
d. Wipe down the area with soapy water or disinfectant to remove pheromone
Trails;
e. And report observations and actions via email to the IPM Plan Coordinator and the head
custodian.

If the ants return or there are more than a small number (e.g. under 10 ants):
a. Spend two minutes trying to find out where the ants are coming from;
b. And contact the custodian regarding observations.

The custodian will:

a. Spend two minutes trying to find out where the ants are coming from;
b. Vacuum up the ants and any food debris nearby;
c. Vacuum up a tablespoon of cornstarch to kill most of the ants in the vacuum bag, then
place the vacuum bag inside a plastic garbage bag, seal it, and dispose of it;
d. Seal up the crack or hole where the ants were coming from (do what can be completed in
less than 15 minutes);
e. Wipe down the area with soapy water or disinfectant to remove pheromone trails;
f. And record the observations and actions in a work ticket

2. To avoid a proliferation of small ants and/or unnecessary applications of pesticides, the

routine use of ant baits is not permitted without first:

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 9

 a. Educating staff on sanitation, monitoring, and exclusion as the primary means to control
the ants;
b. Establishing an acceptable pest population density (e.g. 10 ants);
c. And improving sanitation (e.g. cleaning up crumbs and other food sources) and
structural remediation (e.g. sealing up cracks or holes where the ants are coming
from).

3. See “Section X – Hiring an Outside Contractor” for the action protocols for insect, rodent,
vertebrate and weed control. District personnel will conduct the initial action protocols. When
the district’s efforts have failed, go beyond the district’s expertise and/or are considered a pest
emergency, the district’s IPM Plan Coordinator will seek the services of an outside
professional for further pest control measures.

4. Acceptable Pest Density Thresholds

When pests go beyond an acceptable threshold established by the IPM Plan Coordinator, the
Facilities Supervisor, the Support Services Director and/or the School Superintendent, action
will be taken. A threshold is the number of pests that can be tolerated before taking action.
The acceptable threshold for cockroaches, mice, rats, raccoons, cats, dogs, opossums,
skunks and nutria is zero.

E. Inspections
1. Routine Inspections
The IPM Plan Coordinator will conduct routine inspections of different schools throughout the
year. Site custodians are required to accompany the Coordinator during the inspections of the
kitchen, staff room and any other place of concern.

After each routine inspection the Coordinator will write a report on the findings and
recommendations. The report will be submitted to the school principal, school custodian and
Facilities Supervisor.

2. Annual Inspections
The IPM Plan Coordinator will conduct annual inspections at individual schools. Site
custodians are required to assist the Coordinator with the annual inspection. The annual
inspections will be more thorough than the routine inspections and will use the Annual IPM
Inspection Form (see Appendix 2) to guide the inspections. The specific schools to be
inspected will be determined by the IPM Plan based on a review of the annual number of pest
problems and pesticide applications reported in the Annual IPM Report and Annual Report of
Pesticide Applications.

F. Pest Emergencies
IMPORTANT: If a pest emergency is declared, the area must be evacuated and cordoned off
before any other steps can be taken.
When the IPM Plan Coordinator, after consultation with school faculty and administration,
determines that the presence of a pest or pests immediately threatens the health or safety of
students, staff, faculty members or members of the public using the campus, or the structural
integrity of campus facilities, he or she may declare a pest emergency. Examples include, but are
not limited to, yellow jackets swarming in areas frequented by children, a nutria in an area
frequented by children, or half a dozen mice or rats running through occupied areas of a school
building.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 10

G. Annual IPM Report (completed by IPM Plan Coordinator)
In January of each year, the IPM Plan Coordinator will provide the Facilities Supervisor, Support
Services Director and the OSU School IPM Program Coordinator an annual IPM report.

The report will include a summary of data gathered from work tickets, pest logs, as well as costs
for management and pesticides (including turf and landscape pesticides). Costs for items such as
sealants, fixing screens, door sweeps and other items that would not normally be considered part
of pest control will not be recorded.

Prevention and management steps taken that proved to be ineffective and led to the decision to
make a pesticide application will be incorporated into the annual report of pesticide applications

VII. REQUIRED TRAINING/EDUCATION

ORS 634.700 (3) (i) requires staff education “about sanitation, monitoring and inspection and about
pest control measures”. All staff is to have at least a general review of IPM principles and strategy as
outlined in Sections II and III.

A. IPM Plan Coordinator Training

ORS 634.720 (2) requires that the IPM Plan Coordinator “shall complete not less than six hours of
training each year. The training shall include at least a general review of IPM principles and the
requirements of ORS 634.700 to 634.750.” Content should include health and economic issues
associated with pests in schools, exclusion practices, pest identification and biology for common
pests, common challenges with monitoring, reporting, action protocols, proper use of sticky
monitoring traps for insects and hands-on training on proper inspection techniques.

Training opportunities can be found by contacting an Education Service District or the OSU
School IPM Program for information on OSU-approved training courses.

B. Training for Custodial Staff

The IPM Plan Coordinator will train custodial staff at least annually on sanitation, monitoring,
inspection, and reporting, and their IPM responsibilities as outlined in Section V.

C. Training for Maintenance and Construction Staff

The IPM Plan Coordinator will train maintenance staff at least annually on identifying pest
conducive conditions and mechanical control methods (such as door sweeps on external doors
and sealing holes under sinks), and their responsibilities as outlined in Section V.

D. Training for Grounds Staff

The IPM Plan Coordinator will train grounds staff at least once per year. The annual training will
review grounds department responsibilities outlined in Section V., data from the annual report
related to pesticide applications by the grounds crew, OSU turf management publications EC
1521, EC 1278, EC 1550, EC 1638-E, and PNW 299. These publications are available free
online at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/. Grounds staff will also be trained in basic
monitoring for common outdoor pests.

E. Training for Kitchen Staff

The IPM Plan Coordinator will train kitchen staff at least once per year on the basic principles of
IPM and their responsibilities as outlined in Section V.

F. Training for Faculty and Principal

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 11

 All faculty of all types is mandated to be trained at least once per year on the basic principles of
IPM and their responsibilities. On-line trainings will be arranged through the Human Resources
Department. More extensive training will be provided to the grounds, maintenance, custodian and
kitchen personnel by district’s IPM Coordinator.

Whenever possible, coaches who use athletic fields will be given an overview of basic monitoring
and IPM practices for turf so they understand key pest problems to look for and when to report
them.

VIII. PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS: REQUIRED NOTIFICATION, POSTING, RECORD

KEEPING, AND REPORTING
Any pesticide application (this includes weed control products, ant baits and all professional and over-
the-counter products) on school property must be made by a licensed commercial or public pesticide
applicator.

A list of potential low-impact pesticide products (Oregon State approved) will be regularly maintained
on the district’s Facilities Department website. These are pesticides the district could use in the event
that other pest management measures are ineffective. Procedures for notification and posting of
individual applications, including those for pest emergencies, will also be outlined on the website.

A. Notification and Posting for Non-Emergencies

When prevention or management of pests through other measures proves to be ineffective, the
use of a low-risk pesticide is permissible. Documentation of these measures is a prerequisite to
the approval of any application of a low-risk pesticide. This documentation will remain on file with
the IPM Plan Coordinator and at the office of the head custodian where the application takes
place.

If the labeling of a pesticide product specifies a re-entry time, a pesticide may not be applied to an
area of campus where the school expects students to be present before expiration of that re-entry
time. If the labeling does not specify a re-entry time, a pesticide may not be applied to an area of
a campus where the school expects students to be present before expiration of a re-entry time
that the IPM Plan Coordinator determines to be appropriate based on the times at which students
would normally be expected to be in the area, the area can be ventilated and the area can be
cleaned (when applicable) before students are present.

The IPM Plan Coordinator will give written notice of a proposed pesticide application (via the
method most likely to reach the intended recipients) and at least 24 hours before the application
occurs.

The notice must identify the name, trademark or type of pesticide product, the EPA registration
number of the product, the expected area of the application, the expected date of application and
the reason for the application.

The IPM Plan Coordinator (or a designee of the Coordinator) shall place warning signs around
pesticide application areas beginning no later than 24 hours before the application occurs and
ending no earlier than 72 hours after the application occurs.

A warning sign must bear the words “Warning – Pesticide Treated Area”, and give the expected or
actual date and time for the application, the expected or actual re-entry time, and provide the
telephone number of a contact person (the person who is to make the application and/or the IPM
Plan Coordinator).

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 12

B. Notification and Posting for Emergencies
Important Notes:
1. The IPM Plan Coordinator may not declare the existence of a pest emergency until after
consultation with school faculty and administration.
2. If a pesticide is applied at a campus due to a pest emergency, the Plan Coordinator shall:
a. Review the IPM plan to determine whether modification of the plan might prevent
future pest emergencies;
b. And provide a written report to the Facilities Supervisor and Support Services Director.
3. The Facilities Supervisor and Support Services Director shall review and take formal action on
any recommendations in the report.

If a pest emergency is declared, the area must first be evacuated and cordoned off before taking
any other steps. The declaration of the existence of a pest emergency is the only time a non low-
impact pesticide may be applied. Not less than 72 hours of advance notice will be given
announcing the application of a non low-impact pesticide, including posting warning signs at the
application site. If a pest emergency makes it impracticable to give advance notice, the IPM Plan
Coordinator shall issue the notice no later than 24 hours after the application occurred, but
treatment warning signs at the site shall be posted no later than at the time the application occurs.

ORS 634.700 also allows the application of a non-low-impact pesticide “by, or at the direction or
order of, a public health official”. If this occurs, every effort will be made to comply with the
notification and posting requirements above.

C. Record Keeping of Pesticide Applications

The IPM Plan Coordinator or designee shall keep a copy of the following pesticide product
information on file at the office of the IPM Plan Coordinator:
1. A copy of the label
2. A copy of the MSDS
3. The brand name and USEPA registration number of the product
4. The approximate amount and concentration of product applied
5. The location of the application
6. The pest condition that prompted the application
7. The type of application and whether the application proved effective
8. The pesticide applicator’s license numbers and pesticide trainee or certificate numbers of the
person applying the pesticide
9. The name(s) of the person(s) applying the pesticide
10. The dates on which notices of the application were given
11. The dates and times for the placement and removal of warning signs
12. Copies of all required notices given, including the dates the IPM Plan Coordinator gave the
notices

The above records must be kept on file at the office of the IPM Plan Coordinator, for at least four
years following the application date.

D. Annual Report of Pesticide Applications

In January of each year, the IPM Plan Coordinator will provide the Facilities Supervisor and the
OSU School IPM Program Coordinator an annual report of all pesticide applications made the
previous year. The report will contain the following for each application:
1. The brand name and USEPA registration number of the product applied
2. The approximate amount and concentration of product applied

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 13

 3. The location of the application
4. The prevention or management steps taken that proved to be ineffective and led to the
decision to make a pesticide application
5. The type of application and whether the application proved effective

IX. APPROVED LOW-IMPACT PESTICIDES

Note: All pesticides used must be used in strict accordance with label instructions according to ORS
634.705 (5). The IPM Plan Coordinator shall adopt a list of low-impact pesticides for use with the
Redmond School District’s integrated pest management plan. Any product may be included on the list
except products that:
1. Contain a pesticide product or active ingredient that has the signal words “warning” or
“danger” on the label;
2. Contain a pesticide product classified as a human carcinogen or probable human carcinogen
under the United States Environmental Protection Agency 1986 Guidelines for Carcinogen
Risk Assessment; or
3. Contain a pesticide product classified as carcinogenic to humans or likely to be carcinogenic
to humans under the United States Environmental Protection Agency 2003 Draft Final
Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment.

As a part of pesticide registration under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA) and re-registration required by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), EPA Office of
Pesticide Programs (OPP) classifies pesticide active ingredients (a.i.) with regards to their potential to
cause cancer in humans. Depending on when a pesticide active ingredient was last evaluated the
classification system used may differ as described above.

The National Pesticide Information Center (http://npic.orst.edu/) can be contacted at 1.800.858.7378

or [email protected] for assistance in determining a pesticide a.i. cancer classification.

The most current list of Oregon State approved low-impact pesticides is available on our website at
http://www.redmond.k12.or.us and Appendix 5 of the district’s IPM Plan.

X. HIRING AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR

On occasion when pest control is beyond the capabilities of the management of the Redmond School
District, it will hire the specialized professional services of an outside contractor. The outside
contractor must have specific IPM training and a commercial applicator license in accordance with SB
637.

The contractor shall be responsible for advising the district’s IPM Plan Coordinator about any
structural, sanitary or procedural modifications that would reduce pest food, water, harborage or
access. The contractor will not be held responsible for carrying out structural modifications as a part
of the pest control effort, unless both parties agree the contractor shall take responsibilities for the
modifications. Minor applications of silicone sealant and other sealing materials by the contractor to
eliminate pest harborage or access will need to be approved by the district’s IPM coordinator on a
case-by-case basis.

The district’s IPM Coordinator will evaluate the progress of the contractor in terms of effectiveness
and safety. The IPM Coordinator will require such changes as are necessary. The contractor will be
required to take prompt action to remedy all identified deficiencies.

In addition, the contractor shall run criminal background checks and not allow any individual with a
felony within the last five years to service the property.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 14

PEST CONTROL PROTOCOLS
The contractor shall follow the district’s expectations for pest control no differently than that practiced
by the Redmond School District. The differences between the Redmond School District and the
contractor will be:
1. The level of expertise the contractor has in pest control management in comparison to the
Redmond School District; and/or
2. Equipment the contractor has available in their business operations for pest control as
compared to the Redmond School District; and/or.
3. Whom Redmond School District has determined shall apply any non-low impact pesticides.

NOTE: The Redmond School District shall defer to an outside contractor the application of any
approved non-low impact pesticide that is the only recourse for controlling a pest either
because lower impact controls have failed or for emergency situations or for zero threshold
tolerances.

Insect Control
The priority for insect control will be the use of non-pesticide methods. The contractor shall use non-
pesticide method of control whenever possible. Examples are:
Portable vacuums rather than pesticide sprays will be the standard method for initial cleanouts
of cockroach infestations and the control of spiders and other miscellaneous pests.
Trapping devices, such as light traps, shall be the standard method for indoor fly control.

Pesticides can only be used after following the protocols of the district’s IPM Plan. When pesticides
are used, the Contractor shall first use pesticides on the state’s approved list of low-impact pesticides
and employ reduced-risk methods of application.

A. Monitoring: Monitoring devices (sticky traps, light traps, etc.) shall be used to guide decisions on
appropriate pest control measures and subsequently to evaluate the effectiveness of these
manners.
B. Insecticide Bait Formulations: Non-volatile bait formulations shall be the first choice for cockroach
and ant control. If possible, baits shall be applied or placed in areas that cannot be accessed by
children or building occupants.
C. Application of Insecticides to Cracks and Crevices: As a general rule, the contractor shall apply
liquid/dry insecticide formulations as “crack and crevice” treatments only, in which the formulated
insecticide is applied to hidden or protected areas that are used as harborage sites by pests.
D. Application of Insecticides to Exposed Surfaces: Application of insecticides to exposed surfaces
shall be restricted to a pest emergency as defined in the district’s IPM Plan where no alternative
effective measures are practical. The contractor shall obtain approval of the district’s IPM Plan
Coordinator prior to any application of insecticide to an exposed surface or any space spray
treatment. No surface application or space spray shall be made while the treatment site is
occupied. The contractor shall take all necessary precautions to ensure occupant and employee
safety by taking all necessary steps to ensure the containment of the pesticide to the site of
application.
E. Space Sprays: Application of pesticides as space sprays (“fogging”) are strictly prohibited, except
when a pest emergency as defined in the district’s IPM Plan is declared. The application must
follow the same restrictions outlined for surface sprays. Space sprays must be timed to allow the
specific treatment site to remain unoccupied for a minimum of 24 hours. The contractor shall be
responsible for ventilating the treatment site in accordance with instructions on the product label
before school occupants re-enter the site. The district’s IPM Plan Coordinator will assist the
contractor to secure the treatment site to prevent any unauthorized entry into the area prior to

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 15

 ventilation or before any re-entry period specified on the product label and to arrange for
appropriate cleaning of exposed surfaces by district employees before the site is approved for
general use.

Rodent Control
A. Indoor Trapping: As a general rule, rodent control inside buildings shall be accomplished with
trapping devices only. All such devices shall be placed so as to conceal them from general view,
make them inaccessible to building occupants, and to protect them from any adverse effects of
routine cleaning and other operations.
B. Trapping Devices: Shall be checked on a schedule approved by the Site Plan Coordinator. The
contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all trapped rodents and all rodent carcasses in an
appropriate manner.
C. Use of Rodenticides: In exceptional circumstances, when rodenticides are deemed essential for
adequate rodent control inside buildings, the contractor shall obtain approval of the district’s IPM
Plan Coordinator prior to making any interior rodenticide treatments. Only block (paraffin based
or other types) rodenticides shall be used. Pellet.pack bait formulations and packaging shall not
be used in/around school buildings. All bait shall be placed in EPA-approved tamper-resistant
bait boxes that can be secured to a secure.
D. Use of Bait Stations: All bait stations shall be maintained in accordance with EPA and
regulations, with an emphasis on the safety of no-target organisms. The contractor shall adhere
to the following five (5) points:
1. All bait stations shall be placed out of the general view, in locations where they will not be
distributed by routine operations.
2. The lids of all bait stations shall be securely locked or fastened shut.
3. All bait boxes shall be securely attached or anchored to floor, ground, wall or other immovable
surface, so that the station cannot be picked up or moved by unauthorized personnel.
4. Bait shall always be secured in the feeding chamber of the station and never placed in the
runway or entryways of the stations where it could be removed or dislodged.
5. All bait stations shall be labeled with the contractor’s business name and address and dated
by the contractor’s technician at the time of installation and each servicing.
E. Locations of all Trapping Devices and Baiting Stations: The locations of all devices are to be
recorded in the site’s Pest Log. The contractor shall record all changes/additions to this
information before leaving the site during that service visit. The contractor will provide the IPM
Plan Coordinator with a key and instructions for opening bait stations in the event of an
emergency.

Vertebrate Pest Control (Other Than Rodents)

A. General Vertebrate Pests: A contractor shall be responsible for the control of miscellaneous
vertebrates, including snakes, raccoons and skunks. Where state, county or local regulations
require the issuance of a wildlife depredation permit for the taking of such vertebrates, the
contractor shall take or arrange with state licensed Wildlife Damage Control Agent (WDCA) to
take such vertebrates in accordance with all state and local wildlife regulations. If the WDCA is not
an employee of the contractor, then the contractor shall inform the district’s IMP Plan Coordinator
in advance the name of any WDCA to be used for such work. The cost for these services will be
negotiated with the contractor.
B. Bat and Bird Populations: Situations that require more extensive exclusion methods, such as the
repairs to exclude bats from established roosting sites within buildings; or the installation of mesh,
pointed wire or other devices to exclude birds and bats from roosting shall be negotiated with the
contractor. Annual cleanup of animal feces (e.g. guano) may be negotiated by special contract
should the district’s IPM Plan Coordinator and Facilities Supervisor deem it in the best interests of
the Redmond School District to do so.

Weed Control (Herbicides)

Matrix of Hierarchical Steps to Managing Weeds

The matrix shown in Appendix 1E outlines the steps taken to manage weeds. This matrix is to be
used in conjunction with the Redmond School District IPM Plan. The matrix is used to identify a pest
problem or issue and defines approved practices for management control. The IPM Plan Coordinator
must approve any additional strategies before they can be implemented. Site personnel must always
consult the district’s IPM Plan Coordinator prior to taking action against pests on district property.

Although irrigation, top dressing, over-seeding, fertilization and aeration are the predominate variable
in maintaining quality turf, there are instances in which fields are so infested with broadleaf plants that
they are no longer useable for athletic events. The uneven playing surfaces caused by a mix of grass
and broadleaf weeds, such as plantains, create significant variations in footing making them difficult
or unsafe to play on.

Besides the uneven playing surfaces, the presence of a large number of weeds also promotes habitat
for gophers, sage rats and marmots, which prefer this vegetation for food, resulting in a very uneven
playing surfaces due to mounds of dirt and deep holes. These render the fields unplayable and can
result in injuries when people try to play on them. Eliminating the preferred food source of these
animals improves the effectiveness of this program.

Appendix 1A: Small Ants
Pest Management for Specific Pests

Most small ants in Oregon are harmless. They do not transmit human disease and are thus call
nuisance ants. Pavement and Odorous Ants are the two most common types of ants found in
Oregon schools.

Nuisance ants may nest outdoors under objects, in the soil or in wall voids of structures. Pavement
ants nest in the soil under concrete walkways or foundations. Ants sometimes enter buildings in
search of food or water or during periods of heavy rain. Some sugar-feeding ants may move indoors
in winter when their preferred food source (honeydew from aphids) is gone. Ants may also be more
noticeable in spring or summer as colonies are dividing and establishing new nests.

Pavement Ant
The pavement ant gets its name from commonly locating its nest in or under cracks in pavement. It
also nests under stones and at the edges of pavement. In winter it will nest in buildings in crevices
adjacent to a heat source. Pavement ants tend aphids for their honeydew and they feed on seeds
and insect remains. Indoors they may feed on sweets and greasy food.

Odorous House Ants

The odorous house ant gets its name from the pungent, rotten-coconut-like odor given off when it is
crushed. It nests in a wide variety of places both outdoors and indoors. Odorous house ants tend
aphids, as well as scale insects and mealy bugs, for their honeydew which they prefer, but they also
feed on other insects. Indoors they may feed on sweets, protein foods and greasy food. When
odorous house ants are disturbed or threatened, they can break off from the main colony and form
satellite colonies. This is called “budding”. When odorous house ants disperse and form new
colonies and nests in this way, one colony of ants can actually have multiple satellite colonies and
multiple queens. Disturbances, such as spraying a pesticide on a group of odorous house ants, can
actually increase the number of ants because of budding.

When Nuisance Ants Come Inside

Total eradication of nuisance ants indoors is extremely difficult. The district’s first response to any
trail of ants is to clean surfaces with soapy water or disinfectant. Fortunately, most ants will leave on
their own if denied access to food and water. Additional control measures are warranted if ants are
entering a school in large enough numbers to cause a disruption in the learning environment. The
district will use mechanical methods (such as crack sealing) first for control of the ants. Low-impact
pesticide bait will only be used as a last resort.

If nuisance ants become a disruption at a school, staff should take the following steps:
If the staff can do this process quickly, they should do it of their own accord and report the
sighting and action taken. Otherwise, staff should ask the custodian to vacuum any food
crumbs, clean up any garbage or spills, and use soap and water to clean areas where ant
trails are seen. This can prevent other ants from following the pheromone trails they leave to
mark the way to food.
Make certain any other food or water sources are removed, placed in tightly sealed
containers, cleaned or repaired. Food and water sources can include human or pet food,
recycling bins, leaking faucets, clogged drains, damp wood, etc. For repairs, either ask the
custodian to make repairs or submit a work request for the repairs.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 19

 If staff finds a place where an ant trail enters the room or building, they should mark it for later
sealing by the custodian or the maintenance personnel. A temporary “seal” can be made from
duct tape, if desired.
Besides sealing up holes and cracks where the ants are coming from, holes and cracks
should be repaired in baseboards and cupboards, as well as around electrical outlets, pipes,
sinks and toilets.

When to Use Ant Baits

To avoid a proliferation of small ants and/or unnecessary applications of pesticides, the routine use of
ant baits is not permitted without first:
1. Educating staff on sanitation, monitoring and exclusion as the primary means to control the ants;
2. Establishing an acceptable pest population density (e.g. 10 ants);
3. And improving sanitation (e.g. cleaning up crumbs and other food sources) and structural
remediation (sealing cracks or holes).

If the use of low-impact pesticide baits are deemed necessary, they will be placed in childproof
containers and used only in areas that are out of sight and reach of children/students. Small amounts
of low-impact pesticide gels or pastes may also be placed in cracks and crevices or low-impact
pesticide dusts may be sprayed into wall voids.

Sanitation is important to ensure the effectiveness of any baits that are used. Ants are less likely to
take a bait if there are more attractive food and water sources nearby.

Appendix 1B: Carpenter Ants
Pest Management for Specific Pests

Carpenter ants are serious pests of buildings in Oregon, particularly west of the Cascade Mountains.
Although they normally excavate in logs, stumps and hollow trees, these ants become pests when
they move indoors.

Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat wood. They kick out the sawdust-like chewings during nest
building. Termites do not make sawdust. Carpenter ants do not restrict their nesting activities to
wood. They can establish nests in any material they can bite into such as insulation, paper, bark and
wood product mulches. Nests have even been found in stored clothing and sleeping bags. In some
instances, carpenter ants will carry nest-building material, such as fir needles, into a wall space or
attic.

Signs of Infestation
Ants foraging around or inside a building
Piles of sawdust-like borings visible under porches, in basements or emerging cracks between
walls and partitions
Slit-like holes in woodwork, especially window and door casings
Large winged ants indoors in late winter and spring
Faint rustling sounds in walls, floors or woodwork
Longstanding damage may require extensive repairs, although all that may be needed is to
get rid of the insects
New colonies are established either by a lone queen or by migration of an existing colony.
The latter is common in buildings. Colonies disturbed by the clearing or grading of building
sites often migrate. Buildings near woods are most likely to be infested.
They prefer moist, rotting timbers, but will readily mine sound, dry wood.
They can enter a building through a crevice in the foundation or through plumbing and wiring
access points. They may also travel into the structure from trees overhanging the roof.

How to Recognize Them

They are large black or red-and-black ants.
The size varies from ¼ to ½ inch in the worker ants to larger queens of a ¾ inch.
They have a constriction between their thorax and abdomen (waist). If winged, there are two
pairs of membranous wings that extend beyond the tip of the abdomen. The front wings are
much larger than the rear wings.
Their legs originate at their waist and their antennae are angled.
They are frequently confused with damp wood termites. Both insects live in colonies and
mine wood. They are controlled in different ways and it is important to distinguish between
them.
Termite workers are yellowish to grayish white, up to ¾ inch long, short-legged and rather
slow moving insects that spend their lives hidden from view, unless their mines are exposed.
Reproductive termites are brown, thick-waisted and have long wings approximately equal in
length. The antennae of termites are short and straight. Termites fly during warm, humid
evenings in the fall.

Ant Control
If you locate a nest, it can be removed with a vacuum cleaner and then disposing of the bag outdoors.
Nests cannot always be found and, in this case, the control would need to be indirect by carefully
placing insecticides to form chemical barriers that foraging ants must cross in their search for food.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 21

The ant then contaminates its body with the insecticide and carries it back to the nest where other
ants are poisoned. Slow-acting, persistent insecticides are best for this approach.

Insecticidal dusts often are used between walls, attics and other areas where water-based sprays
might cause moisture problems and where emulsifiable sprays (with strong solvents) might harm
fabric, wallpaper or tile.

Infestation Prevention
Build with a concrete foundation and good ventilation
Remove logs, stumps and waste wood near and under a structure
Destroy all known colonies within a 100 yards of a structure
Do not bring infested fuel wood inside
Do not build over stumps, logs or sizeable pieces of wood
Check for signs of ants annually

Appendix 1C: House Mouse
Pest Management for Specific Species

Identification and Detection

The house mouse has a light-colored belly and the rest of its fur color is variable. Individuals may be
light brown, gray or even black. It has a body length of 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches and an additional length of
tail from 2 ½ to 4 inches long.

The house mouse is active at night and rarely seen during the day. The presence of a mouse is
usually detected by chewed materials or more often by it fecal droppings. House mouse droppings
are black and tapered on at least one end and are slightly larger than a grain of rice. Mouse
droppings are often seen on windowsills, in cupboards under sinks and where food is commonly
eaten, stored or prepared. Mouse droppings and urine, which are continually excreted as they move
about, are able to transmit several types of viruses, bacteria and parasites to humans even long after
the mouse is gone. They can also trigger asthma in indoor environments.

The house mouse is the most successful rodent pest in school environments. Not only does the
house mouse cause damage to structures and supplies with its chewing, it contaminates food stores
and classroom supplies.

Classified as Zero-Tolerance
The house mouse is generally regarded as a zero-tolerance pest in schools for the following reasons:
They reproduce rapidly. Each female mouse averages five offspring per litter and may have
as many as ten litters per year. As little as eight weeks are needed for a house mouse to
develop into a reproductive adult. Even with conservative calculations, that is a lot of mice!
They are very mobile and can enter structures or move among rooms through spaces as
small as a dime. They may use trees and wires to gain access to a structure’s upper levels
and once inside they often use wall voids and pipe pathways as a safe means of travel.
They are not picky eaters. Coupled with a strong sense of smell, a house mouse can sniff out
dried foods used for classroom art projects or long-forgotten crumbs in corners. The house
mouse often chews through boxes and plastic bags to eat the snacks inside a teacher’s desk
or classroom cupboard. They may eat items we do not consider food, such as glue and soap.
They can vector bacteria and viruses in their droppings. Humans may become infected when
droppings come in contact with an open wound or when pathogens are breathed in from
disturbed droppings.
For a small infestation, custodian or maintenance personnel are to set mechanical mouse
traps immediately upon pest detection. The devices are to be placed in concealed areas out
of reach of children. The traps are to be monitored daily.
For large infestations, professional services are to be implemented with an outside contractor
by the IPM Plan Coordinator.

Rural school districts often have encounters with deer mice. While deer mice may occasionally be
found indoors and are of a similar size to the house mouse, deer mice do not usually establish
themselves inside school structures like the house mouse.

Prevention and Management of Infestations

Teaching, administrative and kitchen staff play a critical role in helping to prevent house mouse
infestations and in helping custodial and maintenance personnel address an infestation. Mice, along
with other pests, are drawn by the availability of food, water or shelter. Denying them these things
helps prevent or manage infestations.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 23

 Report mouse droppings to the custodian so that they can be cleaned up immediately and the
area can be properly monitored for further house mouse activity.
Limit classroom and office food to a specific area that is cleaned daily.
Store food in hard plastic or glass containers with a tight-fitting lid. This includes desk and
cupboard snacks as well as kitchen food items that are not canned. For kitchens, these items
may alternatively be stored in a refrigerator or walk-in cooler.
Clean up after meal times. Pay attention to wall bases, corners and other undisturbed areas
where food accumulates. In kitchens and pantries, sweep and mop underneath equipment
daily.
De-clutter classrooms and offices. Consider recycling or discarding items that have not been
used in three or more years. Install wire shelving to keep stored items off of the floor so they
cannot provide shelter or a source of food to mice.
Replace corrugated cardboard with clear plastic bins. Mice will nest in cardboard boxes or
may chew the material to create a nest elsewhere.
Remove stuffed fabric-covered furniture such as sofas and overstuffed chairs. Mice often nest
in the furniture materials or forage for food underneath cushions.
Report problems such as gaps below exterior doors, around pipes or windows, and leaky
pipes/faucets.

Cleaning Up After Mouse Droppings

Mouse droppings, whether fresh or old, may transmit viruses and bacteria. If cleaning mouse
droppings is among your job duties, there are some important measures to keep in mind.
Mouse droppings should not be swept or vacuumed. Doing so can allow viruses and bacteria
to become airborne and inhaled.
Wear rubber or plastic gloves.
Wet the area with mouse droppings using a disinfectant. Disinfectants are effective against
both bacteria and viruses if allowed to stand for 10 minutes.
Using a wet cloth or paper towel, wipe up the droppings and dispose of the droppings and
paper towels in a trash bag. Throw the trash bag out immediately.
If using a washable cloth and reusable gloves, they are to be cleaned in hot soapy water.
For an area with a large amount of rodent droppings, wear a face mask with a HEPA filter.

Appendix 1D: Yellow Jackets & Paper Wasps
Pest Management for Specific Species

Description
Yellow jackets are heavy-bodied wasps with black and yellow or white markings. They live in gray,
papery nests, located either below ground or suspended above the ground.

“Worker” yellow jackets hunt for insects or feed on carrion or rotting fruit. Workers are attracted to
any meat-based or sugary item. Food is carried back to the nest where it is fed to nest-mates. Stings
usually occur through accidental contact with the nest entrance. Workers vigorously defend the nest
and queen against intruders.

A queen is the epicenter of each yellow jacket nest. Her sole responsibility is to lay eggs. She
begins a nest in the spring by laying a few eggs and raising these workers to adults. At this point, the
queen may no longer leave the nest to hunt. Workers provision, expand and defend the nest. As
spring and summer pass, the nest grows as new workers are reared and assume their role. By the
end of the summer, nests may contain hundreds or even thousands of workers. By August or
September, these venomous social insects are the most troublesome and dangerous.

In the fall, yellow jacket nests have also produced a crop of queens and males. By the first frost,
most workers and queens leave the nest to find a protected spot to spend the winter. They reemerge
in spring to begin the cycle all over again. Only new queens survive the winter and these queens
almost never reuse the previous year’s nest the following spring.

Control of the Nuisance Nest

It might occasionally be necessary to destroy a yellow jacket nest because it is near human activity.
Safe and effective tips:
Treat the nest at night or first thing in the morning when it is cold because the workers are
inside the nest and relatively calm.
Use one of the aerosols that propel a stream of insecticide “up to 20 feet” so that you can
stand off at a safe distance and treat directly into the nest opening.
Do not pour petroleum products into ground nests. This is dangerous, environmentally
harmful and illegal.
Use a pesticide specifically made for yellow jacket control only. Be sure to read and follow the
pesticide product label. The label is the final word on what does or does not constitute a legal
and safe application.
Never attempt to remove or destroy honeybee hives.

Poison Baits
Finding below-ground nests is difficult, so pest control professionals may resort to use of poisoned
baits to achieve area-wide control. Poison baits can be extremely hazardous but are effective for
severe yellow jacket infestations. Baits work by luring the worker yellow jackets to carry a bit of
poisoned food back to the nest, thereby getting the poison to those in the nest. These baits contain
an encapsulated insecticide. The instructions accompanying the insecticide describe how to use it an
must be followed exactly. Bait stations must be protected so that other animals cannot get to the
poisoned bait. Poisoned baits should only be used after about July 15 when nests have begun to
expand rapidly. Prior to this date you may be disrupting beneficial species.

Redmond School District/File X:Integrated Pest Management Page 25

Trapping
Non-toxic yellow jacket traps are available in yard and garden stores. The most effective traps use a
synthetic attractant to lure worker yellow jackets into a trap. Fruit juice or various meats can be used
as attractants as well. Traps may provide some temporary relief by drawing workers away from
people, but they are not effective for area-wide nest control.

Reactions to Stings
Some people are allergic to the venom of yellow jackets and others are allergic to bee stings. Both
reactions can be life-threatening to some people. Bee stings can occur anytime bees are out of their
hives, but are far less common than yellow jacket stings. Yellow jackets are more likely to sting
without provocation, their sting is more painful and normally no stinger remains in the skin. A single
yellow jacket may sting more than once. Honeybees are much less likely to sting and their sting is
not so painful. The honeybee leaves behind its stinger and a single honeybee can only sting once.
The stinger should never be squeezed when removing, but rather scraped away with a fingernail.

Other Wasps
Other wasps include the mud dauber (nests made from wet soil) and paper wasps (nest are small
and open). Both are less aggressive and normally will not sting or swarm when away from their nest.
