Schools, child care centers, homes, hospitals, retirement / nursing facilities, restaurants, hotels
Challenging places for pest management
Host diverse people, confined spaces, different lengths of time
Schools – Sensitive Environments 4

Have health problems such as asthma, allergies, or immune system compromising diseases
Include diverse physical spaces, indoors and out, that provide ideal entry points and harborages for pests, and require customized solutions to pest problems
Diminishing budgets and deferred maintenance worsen these problems

What is a pest?
• Organisms that are detrimental to humans or their interests• Damage crops and structures• Impact human or animal health• Reduce aesthetic and recreational
value• Organisms that are out of place!

Why should we care about pest management?10
Bite / sting Damage food by entering and feeding Contaminate food and surfaces A nuisance when they invade buildings Cause allergies, asthma and other reactions Vector disease microbes Cause structural damage Cause plant damage

There is a solution!13
IPM = Integrated (Intelligent) Pest Management!A sensible, environmentally friendly, and effective
way to solve pest problems
IPM is a team effort!

The IPM Approach
• IPM is sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, physical, and chemical methods in order to minimize economic, health and environmental risks
• IPM can be used to manage all kinds of pests anywhere – in urban, agriculture, wildland or natural areas

IPM focuses on correcting the fundamental reasons why pests are present
What are they?
When do they show up?
Where are they occurring?
How did they arrive or get in?
Why are they here?
The IPM Approach
![Page 17: SCHOOL INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) PHILOSOPHY · No monitoring in PVAs No PMP hours with staff Excess pesticide use e.g. 143 applications for 3 schools in one year No ID e.g](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060413/5f11508371131c1dba4b75e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• IPM is proactive – monitoring and inspecting is constant
• Promotes environmental health• Works indoors and outdoors• Pesticides are used only when
necessary

Key Elements of IPM – Inspect, Monitor, Measure
Regular monitoring is the most economical and simple strategy to manage pests
Using ongoing monitoring tools allows for constant assessment of pest activity when you can not be around
Monitoring helps determine pest population levels and how the pests are accessing or beingintroduced into buildings

Key Elements of IPM – Sanitation and Waste Management
46
Sanitation Clean up after group activities,
especially those involving food and drinks
Anything with food remains should be placed in trash cans, bagged, and taken to outside dumpsters before the day ends

Sanitation Common room furniture should be checked and
cleaned periodically
Upholstered furniture is difficult to keep clean,
especially where food is consumed including
teachers lounges, and coaches, maintenance or custodial offices – Dawn H. Gouge, University of
Arizona

Pest-proofing includes preventing pests from the outside getting in, and preventing hitchhiking pests brought in by building occupants and in deliveries from spreading
Seal cracks, crevices and holes around exterior wall penetrations

Seal your buildings, make sure doors seal and self-close correctly
The vertical gap in the doorway (right) should be closed with brushes
Exterior doors should never be left propped open. Mice can enter through a ¼” gap. Effective door sweeps can cut pest complaints by 65%!
