Tip 4: An Ounce of Pest Prevention

Healthy Child
Saturday, September 30, 2006

Prevention is the best solution to pest infestations.  Approximately 90% of all insect infestations migrate into the home from the outside.

Block pest entrances by caulking holes, using door sweeps and keeping window screens in good repair. Pests love moisture and your food, so keep things dry and store food safely.  These are all integrated pest management (IPM) techniques.


More ideas about your IPM in your child’s school can be found at Beyond Pesticides.
