Common use of Pesticide Application Clause in Contracts

Pesticide Application. The Contractor shall not apply any pesticide product that has not been approved in writing by the IPM Coordinator. When a pesticide is applied, the contractor shall make all necessary notification required as per Pesticide Control Regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:30-9. Pesticide applications shall be made according to need and not by schedule. As a general rule, application of pesticides in any area inside or outside the premises shall not occur unless visual inspections and/or monitoring devices indicate the presence of pests in that specific area and other means of control have been ruled out. First preference shall be given to using a pesticide designated as "low impact" under the law and regulations. Preventative pesticide treatments of areas determined to be at high risk for infestation by insects or rodents, through inspection at the onset of the program or as a part of a temporary maintenance program, are acceptable. Preventative pesticide treatments must be conducted in accordance with School Integrated Pest Management Act and rules or regulations that result from the School Integrated Pest Management Act. Written approval must be granted by the School IPM Coordinator prior to the application of a preventative pesticide treatment. No preventative pesticide treatment will continue indefinitely. Immediate action must be taken to correct the problems contributing to the need for temporary preventative pesticide treatments. The contractor shall not store any pesticide product on school property. Structural modifications for pest control, including the application of caulk and other sealing materials will not be the responsibility of the Contractor. However, throughout the life of this contract, the Contractor shall be responsible for notifying the IPM Coordinator in writing about any structural, sanitary, or procedural modifications deemed necessary to eliminate pest food, water, harborage, or access.
