Establish and implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan
Rationale: Developing and implementing an integrated pest management protocol ensures that toxic pesticides are used only when necessary, thereby maintaining effective pest control and associated indoor air quality benefits — such as limiting allergens produced by pests, while also limiting occupant exposure to chemicals that are known to cause severe chronic disease in humans.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
