It is the goal of Orange County Department of Education 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 and implement the use of least-hazardous materials and chemicals.

In addition to the IPM Coordinator, other individuals who are involved in purchasing, making IPM decisions, applying pesticides, and complying with the Healthy Schools Act requirements, include:

This school district has identified the following pests and routinely uses the following non-chemical practices to prevent pests from reaching the action level:

Pest	Remove Food	Fix Leaks	Seal Cracks	Install Barriers	Physical Removal	Traps/Exempt Baits	Manage Irrigation	Monitoring	Other
Ants									Treat with soapy water, OC Vector Control for Red Imported Fire Ants
Birds									Visual deterrents, screens
Biting/Stinging Insects									Distinguish between travelling swarms vs established hives
Cockroaches									Treat with soapy water
Crawling Insects									Includes crickets, silverfish, millipedes, centipedes, and beetles
Fleas									Must inspect for infestation prior to treatment, vacuum daily
Flying Insects									Includes flies, gnats, crane flies, fruit flies, and any other non-biting insects
Gophers
Landscape insects									High pressure hose, beneficial insects, proper plant care
Mosquitos									Contact OC Vector Control as needed
Rats/Mice
Red Imported Fire Ants
Snails/Slugs
Spiders									Crush with stiff bristle broom, or vacuum
Termites									Contact licensed structural pest control operator
Weeds									Mechanical and physical removal, mulch

If non-chemical methods are ineffective, the school district will consider pesticides only after careful monitoring indicates that they are needed according to pre-established action levels and will use pesticides that pose the least possible hazard and are effective in a manner that minimizes risks to people, property and the environment.

This school district expects the following pesticides (pesticide products and active ingredients) to be applied during the year. (This list includes pesticides that will be applied by school district staff or licensed pest control businesses.):
