(x). Pest surveillance traps and monitoring equipment, such as non-electrocuting mosquito light
traps, are integral tools for IPM programs.
E4.10.2. Paints and Coatings Containing Pesticides and Other Biocides. Paints containing
insecticides are not approved for use on DoD property. This guidance applies to interior and
exterior pesticide-containing paints intended for application to structural surfaces, such as walls,
ceilings, and siding. It also applies to insecticides formulated and labeled for use as paint
additives. Paints containing fungicides as mildew inhibitors may be used when application
directions specify no special restrictions due to the fungicide. Approved marine anti-fouling
compounds or coatings may be applied to protect surfaces of watercraft.
E4.10.3. Preventive or Scheduled Pesticide Treatments. Regularly scheduled, periodic
pesticide applications are not approved for DoD property except in situations where the IPM plan
clearly documents that no other technology or approach is available to protect personnel or
property of high value. Installations shall not use preventive pesticide treatments, to include
automated misting devices, unless the appropriate pest management consultant has given
approval based upon current surveillance information or records documenting past disease vector
or pest problems that require this approach.

E4.11. REPORTS AND RECORDS
E4.11.1. The Military Services shall ensure that all DoD installations maintain complete
daily records of pesticide applications, inspections, and non-chemical pest management
operations using IPMIS or a computer-generated equivalent as stated in subparagraph 5.4.20.8 of
this Instruction. These records shall account for all pest control operations and shall provide a
historical record of pest management operations and pesticide applications for each building,
structure, or outdoor site.
E4.11.1.1. Records shall include information on the kinds, amounts, uses, dates, and
places of pesticide applications as well as applicators’ names and certification numbers.
E4.11.1.2. The record shall include all in-house, housing, formally contracted, and
Government purchase card-procured pesticide applications performed on the installation,
including work done on golf courses, by non-appropriated fund activities, by contract services,
and as part of outleases and land management and forestry programs, as well as work performed
by installation pest management shops.
E4.11.2. DD Form 1532 , “Pest Management Report,” or an equivalent computer product,
shall be produced monthly using DD Form 1532-1, “Pest Management Maintenance Record,”
archived at the installation and distributed to the designated pest management consultant in

PROCEDURES FOR THE ACQUISTION OF PEST MANAGEMENT MATERIEL
(EQUIPMENT AND PESTICIDES)

E7.1. DoD installations may purchase pest management materiel from the Federal Supply
System (FSS) or from local sources when local purchase is in the best interest of the Government
pursuant to Subpart 208.7003-1 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(Reference (ar)).

E7.2. DoD pest management consultants approve the procurement and use of all pesticides on
DoD installations. This is normally done during the annual review of the installation’s IPM plan.
E7.2.1. The AFPMB reviews and approves the stockage or deletion of pest management
materiel into the FSS by the DLA.
E7.2.2. The DLA submits cataloging actions only for pest management materiel that has
been approved by the AFPMB. Unapproved materiel shall be referred to the AFPMB for
consideration.
E7.2.3. The Services request approval of stocking of pest management materiel through
command channels to the AFPMB. Once approved, the AFPMB forwards the request to the
DLA for cataloging action. Proposals from the Services recommending revision or deletion of
pest management materiel from the supply system are submitted to the AFPMB in the same
manner.
E7.2.4. National Stock Numbers (NSNs) are only assigned to pest management materiel for
DoD use that has been approved by the AFPMB.
E7.1.5. When approved by the certified pest management consultant concerned, pest
management materiel may be procured locally if needed for an emergency, required due to
unique local situations, or used in quantities so small that assignment of an NSN is not feasible.
Installations shall make every effort to use pest management materiel in the DoD Supply System
before requesting local purchase authority. In answer to AFPMB data calls, the Military
Services shall provide the AFPMB with memorandums listing all locally procured pest
management materiel they have approved. The listings shall include the amount purchased, the
proposed use, and any other information needed by the AFPMB. The AFPMB shall monitor the
appropriateness of locally procured pest management materiel for use in the Department of
Defense. When justified, the AFPMB shall request that an NSN be assigned to pest management
materiel.
E7.1.6. The AFPMB’s decision to stock pest management materiel will use data from all
available government and commercial sources. When additional testing and evaluation is
