Integrated Pest Management for Schools and Childcare Facilities

Pest Management Practices

IPM includes activities as diverse as writing pest management policies, performing 
building inspections, reporting pest sightings, caulking and sealing exterior openings, 
cleaning cluttered areas, selection and use of pesticides and record keeping. In most 
schools or childcare facilities, these practices will be carried out by a number of 
different persons, including administrators, custodians, contracted pest control 
services, teachers and others.  

This area of the site provides an overview of all the practices related to IPM. 
Depending on how an IPM program is set up, different tasks outlined here may be 
performed by different individuals.
