WASHINGTON — EPA has released a new plan that deals with pest control and pesticide use in public schools. The plan, School IPM 2015: a Strategic Plan for Integrated Pest Management in Schools in the United States, calls for a 70 percent reduction in both pest complaints and pesticide use in schools.
Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service and Regional Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Centers and the IPM Institute of North America, the plan provides a roadmap to understanding pest biology, inspection and monitoring, and pest prevention that are key to successfully implementing IPM.
