IPM places emphasis on inspection and communication with the school administration. The focus of the program is to identify and eliminate conditions in the school which could cause pests to be a problem. Application of pest control materials are made only when necessary to eliminate a pest problem. Regular spraying is not part of the program.
If it becomes necessary to use any pest control products other than traps or bait, notice will be posted two business days prior to the application. The only exception to the two day notice would be if there is an immediate threat to health or property. If you would like to receive written notification prior to the application of any pest control materials subject to the notification requirements, please complete the form below and return it to the school.
If you would like to be added to the monthly notification, please fill out the form linked below with your preferred e-mail address and e-mail to emccoy@dps170.org or return to your child's building office.
