On January 28, SIP Certified will receive the coveted Integrated Pest Management Innovator Award from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) at their annual ceremony in the state’s capital.
The Innovator Award honors those California organizations that emphasize pest prevention, favor least-hazardous pest management, and share their successful strategies with others. The awards provide rare public recognition to groups and individuals who are revolutionizing pest management through their efforts to reduce risks associated with pesticide use. IPM – integrated pest management works with nature to encourage beneficial plants and animals while making it difficult for pests to survive. DPR’s IPM Innovator awards are part of a comprehensive, reduced-risk pest management strategy aimed at homes, schools, farms, and the environment.
