Developed by entomologists at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, this CEU credit courses provide the latest in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices with the flexibility working professionals need. This course is designed to assist Colleges, Universities or LEEDs building managers on how to develop an IPM program and what it will take to maintain your program.

The purpose of this course is to train pest management technicians and college/university
staff in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). All new technicians should receive IPM training and
new and existing employees should be provided with continuing education emphasizing IPM.
Moreover, any person who applies pesticides for the college/university should practice IPM and
be licensed as a non-commercial pesticide applicator by the state of TX. Pesticide applicators must follow state and federal regulations and apply pesticides according to the instructions on the labels. To assist college/university technicians, plus those who have LEEDs buildings and contract
pesticide applicators in instituting IPM, this course includes developing a college/university IPM
policy, specific IPM objectives, responsibilities of the college/university IPM Technician, and requirements for using pesticides and associated record keeping. Pest problems can be prevented by requesting that maintenance be performed, providing education for residents, conducting inspections and monitoring.
