| DEFINITION/ ACRONYM |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Arthropod |
| The group of animals that includes insects, spiders, ticks, mites, silverfish, and related organisms. |
| Callback |
| A request for additional service or retreatment following the initial service that has not provided the control required. Callbacks shall be provided at no additional cost to the Government. |
Certified Applicator/ Operator Any individual who applies pesticides or supervises the use of pesticides, and who has been authorized to do so by successfully completing a training program approved by the EPA, followed by formal certification by DoD or a state.
| Change of Occupancy Service (COS) |
| A service performed during the period of time after a resident checks out of assigned quarters and prior to a new resident taking occupancy ensuring the quarters are clean, fully equipped, operable and habitable. |
| Contractor's Work Plan (CWP) for Pest Control |
| A Contractor developed document submitted as part of the Contractor proposal that describes how the requirements of this contract will be met. The plan establishes the strategies and methods for conducting a safe, effective, and environmentally sound pest management program. |
| Disease Vector |
| Any animal capable of transmitting the causative agent of a human disease. It is recognized that certain disease vectors are predominately nuisance or economic pests that as conditions change may require management or control as a disease vector. |
| Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) |
| Chemical substance that disrupts the action of insect hormones controlling molting, maturity from pupal stage to adult, and other growth functions for the purpose of insect control. |
| Integrated Pest Management Coordinator (IPMC) |
| The individual, fully trained in IPM principles and practice, designated by the installation commanding officer (CO) to coordinate and oversee all pest management activities at the installation. |
| Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) |
| A required, written long-range, comprehensive planning and operational document that establishes the strategy and methods for conducting a safe, effective, and environmentally sound IPM program. IPM plans are a means of establishing and implementing installation pest management programs and function as the tool used to ensure compliance with applicable pest management laws and regulations. |
| Integrated Pest Management (IPM) |
| A planned program incorporating education, continuous surveillance, record keeping, and communication to prevent pests and disease vectors from causing unacceptable damage to operations, people, property, materiel, or the environment. IPM uses targeted, sustainable (effective, economical, environmentally sound) methods including habitat modification, biological, genetic, cultural, mechanical, physical, and regulatory controls; and when necessary, the judicious use of least hazardous pesticides. |
| Safety Data Sheet (SDS) |
| A document (Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Form 174, or equivalent) that accompanies a pesticide product, providing the handler with chemical information on ingredients, handling instructions, potential hazards, and manufacturer address and emergency contact information. |
| Medically Important Pest |
| Any animal capable of transmitting the causative agent of a human disease serving as an intermediate or reservoir host of a pathogenic organism producing human discomfort or injury, including (but not limited to) mosquitoes, flies, other insects, ticks, mites, snails, and rodents. |
| Nuisance Pests |
| Arthropods, and other organisms, that do not cause economic damage or adversely affect human health, but which on occasion do cause annoyance. |

| Registered Pesticide |
| A pesticide registered by EPA for sale and use within the United States. |
| Road Mile/Kilometer |
| A unit of measure for measuring fogging application for adult mosquito control using a vehicle mounted Ultra Low Volume (ULV) aerosol generator traveling along a given route for a distance of 5,280 feet/1,000 meters. |
| Surveillance |
| Thorough inspections or surveys conducted before or after pest management treatments or on a regular basis to determine the presence and prevalence of pests or disease vectors. |
| Time Period to Maintain Control |
| A frequency specified on each Pest Group Sheet that is the minimum time the Contractor shall maintain control of pest(s) after reaching the specified level of control. |
| Time Period to Obtain Control |
| A frequency specified on each Pest Group Sheet that is the maximum time allotted for the Contractor to obtain control of pest(s) per the specified level of control. |
