C.4.3.1 Insect Control

Pesticide Products and Use: When a professional pesticide must be used for adequate control, the

The Contractor shall apply pesticides according to the label and Department specifications (refer to the

Department’s Integrated Pest Management Program document). All pesticides used by the Contractor must be registered and authorized by the Department.

• "Crack and crevice treatment" is defined as an application in which the stream of pesticide is never visible. Small amounts of insecticides are applied into cracks and crevices in which insects hide or through which they may enter buildings. Such openings commonly occur at expansion joints, between different elements of construction, and between equipment and floors. These openings may lead to voids such as hollow walls, equipment legs and bases, conduits, motor housings, junction or switch boxes.

• “Spot applications” are limited to areas in which insects are likely to occur, but which will not be in contact with food or utensils and will not ordinarily be contacted by workers. These areas may occur on floors, walls, and bases or undersides of equipment. For this purpose, a “spot” will not exceed 3 square feet.

The Contractor shall restrict application of pesticide liquid, aerosol, or dust to exposed surfaces, and pesticide space sprays (including fogs, mists, and ultra-low volume applications), to unique situations where no alternative measures are practical. Special authorization will be required from the COR.

If the proposed pesticide is not already authorized in the Department’s Integrated Pest Management

Program document, the Contractor must submit a written request for authorization to the COR before applying the pesticide. The COR shall render a decision regarding the treatment before its application. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to ensure tenant and employee safety, and all necessary steps to ensure the containment of the pesticide to the site of application. Other than spot or crack and crevice treatments, the

Contractor shall make no applications of professional-use pesticides while tenant occupants are present.

C.4.3.2 Rodent Control

Pesticide Products and Use: Mechanical or sticky traps are the preferred method of rodent population reduction. In exceptional circumstances, when rodenticides are deemed essential for adequate rodent control inside and/or outside occupied buildings, the Contractor shall obtain the approval of the COR prior to making any interior rodenticide treatment.

All rodenticides, regardless of packaging, shall be placed either in locations not accessible to children, pets, wildlife, and domestic animals, or in EPA-approved tamper-resistant bait boxes.
