Pesticides and Ingredients Used

The San Bernardino City Unified School District recognizes the maintenance of a safe, clean and healthful environment for students and staff is essential to learning. It is the goal of the District to provide safe and effective pest control while protecting students, staff, the environment, and District properties and assets.

It is the goal of the District to implement IPM by focusing on long-term prevention or suppression of pests through accurate pest identification, by frequent monitoring for pest presence, by applying appropriate action levels, and by making the habitat less conducive to pests using sanitation and mechanical and physical controls. Pesticides that are effective will be used in a manner that minimizes risks to people, property, and the environment, and only after other options have been shown effective. The District adopts a Least-Hazardous Integrated Pest Management policy.
