ARTICLE 17. Healthy Schools Act of 2000
Section 13181
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for purposes of this article, integrated pest management means a pest management strategy that focuses on long-term prevention or suppression of pest problems through a combination of techniques such as monitoring for pest presence and establishing treatment threshold levels, using nonchemical practices to make the habitat less conducive to pest development, improving sanitation, and employing mechanical and physical controls. Pesticides that pose the least possible hazard and are effective in a manner that minimizes risks to people, property, and the environment, are used only after careful monitoring indicates they are needed according to preestablished guidelines and treatment thresholds. This definition shall apply only to integrated pest management at school facilities and child day care facilities.
(Amended by Stats. 2006, Ch. 865, Sec. 3.5. Effective January 1, 2007.)
