UCLA is developing an updated Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan (will be completed September 2025), based on the new UC Integrated Pest Management Policy. UCLA’s IPM program is overseen by an IPM Committee (see membership below). Questions should be directed to the UCLA IPM Coordinator: Nurit Katz, Chief Sustainability Officer. If you have an active pest issue please report it to Facilities Management through the UCLA 311 app.
UCLA transitioned away from pesticide and herbicide use on campus landscape and recently became the first campus in California to achieve a Gold level Green Grounds Certification from ReWild Your Campus for these efforts.
