2.3 An "integrated pest management program", under Connecticut General Statutes
Section 22a-661, is a program which incorporates all available pest control methods
which include sanitation, structural maintenance, mechanical and biological control
along with the judicious use of pesticides. The goal of an IPM program is to reduce the

acceptable level. By reducing the amount of pesticides applied, the risk of exposure for
building occupants is also reduced.
2.4 A "restricted use pesticide", under Connecticut General Statutes Section 22a-47, is
a pesticide which can only be applied by a "pesticide applicator".
