FOREWORD
This handbook provides the criteria and the best available technology for
designing a military pest management facility or pest control shop. Where
appropriate, the handbook provides some operational rationale to justify
certain design features. Lastly, the handbook promotes compliance with
measures for safety and environmental protection established by host state or
country regulations even if the facility may be exempt from state or local
mandates. Pesticide use is closely regulated under the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and several other federal laws. Users, in every
case, should consider state or host country requirements in design of pest
management facilities.
Do not deviate from this handbook without approval of NAVFACENGCOM
