OSU School IPM Program

OUR MISSION

The mission of the OSU School IPM Program is to work with schools to improve pest management while reducing costs, workload, and pesticide use.  We are accomplishing our mission through a school IPM coalition, school IPM coordinator training, a model IPM plan for use in schools, and other assistance.
