3. Liquid and solid poison baits shall be placed in distinctively marked bait stations of sturdy
plastic, metal or wood construction--no paper or cardboard stations--and placed in areas
normally inaccessible to users of the facilities, particularly children and pets. Covered bait
stations shall be used in dietary, food processing, storage and handling areas. Paraffinized or
weather resistant baits shall be used in damp and wet areas.
4. All bait stations and traps shall have such tags or labels affixed so as to enable the
Contractor to enter their signature and date after each service. All bait stations and trap
locations shall be marked by placement or a distinctively colored removable self-adhesive
sticker placed on the nearest wall or column to make quick identification of each location.
Map/floor plan indication is also required.
5. The Contractor shall make a floor plan (or utilize floor plans supplied by NYS) of each area
where bait stations and traps are located, number each bait station and trap and enter the
location of each numbered bait station and trap in the diagram. These floor plans or diagrams
shall be kept with the other records on the facilities as indicated herein. A detailed IPM
Pesticide Application form and a detailed IPM Trap monitoring form shall be completed,
indicating the service of each pesticide bait station and trap and turned in at the completion of
each service visit (see sample forms). Similar records should be kept for any traps (e.g. glue
boards) and for any treatments (chemical or non-chemical).
6. The Contractor shall be responsible for picking up and disposing of all rodent or other
carcasses in or around buildings listed in this contract within 24 hours of notification by the
Facility Manager.
12.0 Service Timing
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to carry out work according to the detailed Integrated Pest
Management Plan and Service Schedule developed for each building. The Contractor's on-site supervisor
shall be responsible for coordination with the Facility Manager at the beginning of each visit. The purpose
of this coordination is to review the plan and schedule and to receive information on problem area status.
Services that do not adversely affect tenant health or productivity may be performed during the regular
hours of operation in the various buildings. When it is necessary to perform work on weekends or outside
the regularly scheduled hours set in the Contractor's plan and schedule, the Contractor shall notify the
Facility Manager at least two (2) days in advance, and all arrangements will be coordinated between NYS
and the on-site supervisor. All application of toxicants, (i.e., those likely to become airborne), when
necessary, is to be done at night or on weekends to allow for ventilation before tenants reenter the facility.
The Contractor shall allow the Facility Manager sufficient time to inform tenants of application and assure
the security of the areas treated.
13.0 Additional Services
From time to time, The Facility Manager may request that the Contractor perform additional services in
the control of various pests. These may include, but not be limited to:
1. Control of nuisance wildlife for which a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO), as
licensed by the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation, will be required.
2. Control of termites, for which a certification under Section 325.16 (g) (3) “Termites” will be
required
3. Control of mosquitos, for which a certification under Section 325.16 ( c) “Ornamental and
Turf Pest Control” will be required.
13.01 In the event that Additional Services are requested by the Facility Manager, The Contractor must
respond, and provide a detailed estimate, including labor and materials for the required service,
and provide a basis for which the rates can be justified.
13.02 The Facility Manager shall reserve the right to procure additional services from The Contractor, or
another qualified service provider at their sole discretion.
