.5. Field Audit Forms IPM Toolbox

To become fully certified, a company must pass a field audit. Part of the audit includes providing the EcoWise Program Manager and Field Inspector with a copy of the IPM Toolbox. The Toolbox is first sent in to the Program Manager along with the Business Application. A field audit cannot be scheduled without an IPM Toolbox approved by the Program Manager. This includes a list of pesticides that might be used in an EcoWise Certified Service. Toolbox pesticides must meet the EcoWise Certified Pesticide Evaluation Criteria or be exempted by the EcoWise Program Manager. These Criteria, along with a list of examples can be found in Appendix A of the EcoWise Certified Standards. If you do not yet have a copy of the Standards, use the link below:
