PROTECT YOUR CHILD'S HEALTH IN SCHOOLS AND DAY CARES AND REDUCE INSECT POPULATIONS WITH IPM

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an approach to pest management that relies on common-sense practices rather than depending exclusively on pesticides. IPM uses information about pests' life cycles to control them, and reduces risk to people and to the environment. The primary goal of IPM is finding the cause of pest problems. Understanding what pests need to survive is the key.

Below are excellent flyers created by the University of Tennessee Extension about IPM and creating change in your child's school:
