IPM Statement
It is the goal of Ocean View School 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 ineffective.
Our pest management objectives are to:
Focus on long-term pest prevention through approved Integrated Pest Management best practices and reduce the amount of pesticides used on school campuses.
