What causes more damage to your health - Pest or Pesticide?
School administrators and others who have decision-making
responsibilities for pest management in and around school buildings and grounds
should know that safer options exist.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a proven method of pest
control that emphasizes simple, prevention practices that cause the least harm
to people and the environment. IPM focuses on eliminating the cause of pests by
minimizing access to food, water, and hiding places.
Schools have a responsibility to provide safe and healthy
learning environments.
Protecting Children in Schools from Pests and Pesticides
Pesticides are powerful tools for controlling pests.
However, pesticides need to be used carefully and judiciously, especially when
used in sensitive areas where children are present. Children are more sensitive
than adults to pesticides. Young children can have greater exposure to
pesticides from crawling, exploring, or other hand-to-mouth activities.
We recommend that schools use integrated pest management(IPM) to reduce pesticide risk and exposure to children. Put simply, IPM is a
safer and simple and effective pest management in a school community. A school
IPM program uses common sense strategies to reduce sources of food, water and
shelter for pests in your school buildings and grounds. An IPM program takes
advantage of all pest management strategies, including the judicious and
careful use of pesticides when necessary.
Since children spend so much of their day at school,
integrated pest management provides an opportunity to create a safer learning
environment by reducing children's exposure to pesticides as well as by
eliminating pests.
Does your pest control contractor use
dangerous pesticides?
Consider this:
Consider this:
Children are especially vulnerable and disproportionately
exposed to pesticides. Pesticides have been linked to cancer, reproductive,
neurological, behavioral and immunological
disorders, as well as asthma. Alternative methods of pest control, such
as Integrated Pest Management, are often more effective and, over time, less
expensive than chemical pesticides.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is common-sense pest
control that combines preventive techniques, non-chemical pest control, and the
appropriate use of pesticides with preferences for products that are the least
harmful to human health and the environment.
Technical inspections provided by pest control contractors
should provide a comprehensive appraisal of the site. They should also include
a quality assurance check of the standard of the pest control work. However,
contractors are unlikely to provide a report that may be critical of their own
work, so the QA element of the service is not disclosed. Furthermore, some
inspection reports are of dubious technical quality.
