February pollution prevention tips: Pesticide Reduction Published Feb. 21, 2012 GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas- -- The following are tips to help reduce the use of pesticides as part of an overall pollution prevention plan. Consider this: Are you taking advantage of the non-toxic Integrated Pest Management items like glue boards and mouse traps available at GAFB's self help store? When was the last time you deep cleaned your workstation and wastebaskets to remove crumbs and leftovers? Ensure kitchen and workspace waste is bagged and sealed prior to being put in dumpsters. Regularly police dumpster areas and ensure receptacle lids stay closed. Has your facility manager been notified of any lawn and parking lot areas where water frequently ponds?
