What is the safest way to keep vermin out of your building? Can it be done without resorting to harmful chemicals? This
workshop brings together leaders in the design and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in
affordable housing. IPM is a series of approaches that manage pest damage on households in an economical way, with the
least possible hazard to residents, property, and the environment. IPM aims to utilize common sense strategy without reliance
on harmful chemicals and other potentially unhealthy methods.
The discussion will focus on how affordable housing developers and managers can integrate IPM practices into their
developments to meet the mandatory healthy living environment section's IPM criterion of the Enterprise Green Communities
Criteria, the first national framework for healthy, efficient, environmentally smart affordable homes. Developed by Enterprise
in partnership with some of the nation's leading environmental, public health and green building experts, Green Communities
is designed to help developers, investors, builders and residents make the transition to a greener future for affordable housing.
2011 Enterprise Green Communities mandatory criterion 7.14 - "Integrated Pest Management" requires that
buildings be built to minimize opportunities for pests to enter the building, and to develop an integrated pest management
policy, including resident guidance related to pesticide use, housekeeping, and reporting of pest problems.
