School IPM Best Practices

Vermont

Vermont Regulations for Control of Pesticides, section IV(8), requires certified commercial and non-commercial applicators to post signs at the commencement of a turf and ornamental application made to “public non-residential properties.” The sign is to remain posted for 24 hours. Such areas that are fenced require posting in the visitor reception area and the main employee entrance. Information regarding the application is available upon request.

The implementation of IPM in Vermont schools is voluntary. However, early childhood program licensing regulations identify IPM and require that pesticides be used “only when other pest prevention and control methods fail.”
