Healthier Residents & Workers: Fewer asthma attacks, 

less exposure to pesticides, and less of a chance you will  take pests home.

Fewer complaints: A Boston Housing Authority 

development reduced cockroach work orders by 68%  after one year of IPM.

Fewer pests: You can stop infestations from growing and 

spreading disease.

Having the opportunity to dedicate a significant share of one staff member 

to implement the process was key.

The policy closely mirrors one of our management companies existing 

plan, but having the conversations with the actual site team helped bring 

the policies into focus and eventual practice.

The strength and buy in of the lead maintenance personnel is critical.
