Integrated Pest Management Plan

Please note that the term “pest” applies to animals, insects and weeds.

The City’s Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) provides management guidelines that:

Implement the mandates of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act by creating a plan for the control of noxious weeds using integrated control methods.
Adhere to City Code.
Consider the environmental, economic, and social impacts of different control methods as related to our Sustainability Plan.
Protect visitor and applicator safety, water quality, non-target vegetation, federally protected endangered or threatened species, and local species of concern.
Reduce the spread of pests from City of Longmont properties to adjacent or downstream/downwind properties.

The City reviews the IPMP annually to consider new technology and methods for controlling pests.
