Utah Law Requires A Written IPM Plan For Every School.
Does Yours Exist And Is It Signed By A BCE?
Utah Administrative Code R392-200-18 mandates a written Integrated Pest Management plan for every K-12 school facility. The plan must document pest monitoring, treatment thresholds, pesticide use notifications, and staff responsibilities. Most schools in Utah are out of compliance — not because they don't have a pest vendor, but because their vendor never produced the plan the law requires. When a parent files a complaint about pesticide exposure or a pest sighting in a classroom, the first question is whether the school followed its own IPM plan. If no plan exists, there is no defense.

What Non-Compliance With R392-200-18 Costs A School
Most schools assume their pest vendor handles compliance. The law requires the school to have and follow a written plan — not just have a vendor on contract.
When a parent complains about pesticide exposure, the health department's first request is your written IPM plan. If it doesn't exist, the conversation gets much harder.

The Credential That Makes Your IPM Plan Defensible
R392-200-18 requires a written IPM plan — it does not specify who must sign it. But when a parent's attorney or a health department investigator reviews your plan, a BCE signature is the clearest signal that a credentialed specialist designed it. Trent Frazer, BCE #B3413 is Utah's only independent BCE. No Utah competitor can offer this.
Common Questions
What exactly does R392-200-18 require?
The rule requires Utah schools to adopt and implement a written IPM plan. The plan must address pest monitoring, action thresholds, preferred pest management methods, and pesticide use. It also requires advance notification to parents and staff before pesticide applications, plus recordkeeping of all applications. Schools must designate an IPM coordinator responsible for the program.
We already have a pest control vendor. Are we compliant?
Having a vendor does not equal having a compliant IPM plan. The rule requires the school to have a written plan — not just a service contract. Most pest vendors in Utah do not produce a written IPM plan for schools. Ask your current vendor to produce the R392-200-18 compliant plan they've given you. If they can't, that's the gap Falcon closes.
