Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management Plan
When completed, this template meets the Healthy Schools Act requirement for an integrated pest management (IPM) plan. An IPM plan is required if a school district uses pesticides.
Approved Pesticide Ingredient List
The following is a list of approved low-toxicity pesticides that the Vallejo City Unified School District expects to apply during the 2024-2025 school year. A listed pesticide does not signify that the pesticide would be used, but give the District greater latitude in selecting approved pesticides for a specific situation. If you have questions regarding this list, or require additional information, you may contact the Department of Pesticide Regulations.
