Integrated Pest Management for Health Care and Public Buildings
When managing pests in health care facilities and public buildings, facility managers and pesticide applicators need to use integrated pest management (IPM). Using IPM helps to protect the health of vulnerable populations and people visiting these locations by minimizing the potential for exposure to pesticides. Health care facilities include hospitals, nursing homes, or other similar locations where people may stay for one or more nights and receive medical care and is not a private home. Public buildings include buildings owned or operated by a federal, state, or local government including public universities.
In Michigan, health care facilities and public buildings must have an IPM Program in place for the building prior to the application of a pesticide in the building. Additionally, the person applying the pesticide needs to complete verifiable IPM training prior to the application.
