Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UVic has been operating according to our IPM document since 2017. Pesticides are only used when all other options have been considered and confirmed to not be effective under the circumstance. Where application is determined to be necessary, only the least toxic material specific for the target pest is selected at the lowest recommended rate and applied by certified applicator technicians. . During the summer months, watering and grass cuttings are eliminated in parts of campus that are classified as "naturalized areas".
