The use of pesticides and quick release fertilizers shall be minimized, and the principles of integrated pest <br />management (IPM) followed: <br />I. Employ non -chemical controls (biological, physical and cultural controls) before using chemicals to <br />treat a pest problem. <br />2. Prune plants properly and at the appropriate time of year. <br />3. Provide adequate irrigation for landscape plants. Do not over water. <br />4. Limit fertilizer use unless soil testing indicates a deficiency. Slow-release or organic fertilizer is <br />preferable. Check with municipality for specific requirements. <br />5. Pest control should avoid harming non -target organisms, or negatively affecting air and water quality <br />and public health. Apply chemical controls only when monitoring indicates that preventative and <br />non -chemical methods are not keeping pests below acceptable levels. When pesticides are required, <br />apply the least toxic and the least persistent pesticide that will provide adequate pest control. Do not <br />apply pesticides on a prescheduled basis. <br />6. Sweep up spilled fertilizer and pesticides. Do not wash away or bury such spills. <br />7. Do not over apply pesticide. Spray only where the infestation exists. Follow the manufacturer's <br />instructions for mixing and applying materials. <br />8. Only licensed, trained pesticide applicators shall apply pesticides. <br />9. Apply pesticides at the appropriate time to maximize their effectiveness and minimize the likelihood <br />of discharging pesticides into runoff. With the exception of pre -emergent pesticides, avoid <br />application if rain is expected. <br />10. Unwanted/unused pesticides shall be disposed as hazardous waste. <br />Standing water shall not remain in the treatment measures for more than five days, to prevent mosquito <br />generation. Should any mosquito issues arise, contact the San Mateo County Mosquito Abatement District <br />(SMCMAD), as needed for assistance. Mosquito larvicides shall be applied only when absolutely necessary, as <br />indicated by the SMCMAD, and then only by a licensed professional or contractor. Contact information for <br />SMCMAD is provided below. <br />ITI.
