SF Reduced Risk Pesticides; LEED-EB O&M

NEW SITE FOR PESTICIDES & US GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL LEED-EB O&M
For compliance on "least-hazardous pesticides":
1) Find least hazardous (Tier III) pesticides in the SF Pesticide Hazard Screening List. If your product is not in that List, screen your product using criteria in the SF Pesticide Hazard Screening Protocol with the Pesticide Action Network database, for example.

2) Do not limit your organization to only use the SF Reduced-Risk Pesticide List because it may not list products you need, or may list more toxic products you do not need. To create your pesticide list, get feedback & buy-in from your pest managers on least-hazardous pesticides that suit their needs.
