This guide addresses the importance of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in schools, emphasizing student responsibility in pest prevention. Learn where pests thrive—around food, clutter, and trash—and how to combat these issues. Always eat in designated areas, keep classrooms tidy, and dispose of food wrappers properly. Remember to report any pest sightings and avoid disturbing monitoring traps. Maintain cleanliness by storing food in sealed containers and regularly emptying personal lockers. Your participation is crucial for a pest-free school environment. Thank you for caring!

School IPM for Students Inspect and report from a pests perspective • Pest hot zones: • Where there is food, only eat and drink in the designated eating areas. • Where there is clutter, keep your classroom tidy and well organized. • Where there is trash, place empty food wrappers and drink containers in trash-cans or recycling receptacles before entering the classroom. Use the trash-cans responsibly. Report accidental spills and food debris, help clean up. Reminders: • Report pests or evidence of pests to teachers, so they can enter the information into a pest sighting log. • Take care not to disturb monitoring traps. • Keep coats and back-packs in designated areas. • Store lunches and snacks in sealed food containers, many pests can eat through regular wrappers or zip lock bags, and will find your snacks in your desks, cubbies or lockers . • Empty clothing from cubbies or lockers every Friday. Mice forage for nesting material as well as food. • Collect lost items from lost and found promptly, especially if you think you may have left food in your pockets.
