WHAT IS IPM? Self-Guided Module Introduction to IPM Lesson 1 of 4

Learning Objectives 2 1. Describe IPM in understandable terms. 2. Describe how IPM reduces the risks of pests and pesticides. 3. Explain the benefits of IPM in schools and other sensitive environments. 4. Identify the key elements of IPM.

3  IPM is a process that minimizes risks related to managing pest populations.  Pests need food, water and shelter. By knowing that, we can use common sense to improve sanitation and building maintenance to keep pests from thriving in our facilities and on our grounds.  Communication: making sure everyone knows how important IPM is and how they can help is a key part of IPM. Definition of IPM

How IPM reduces the risks of pests and pesticides. 4 Two facts support the need for a well managed IPM program: 1.Children play on the floor and on the ground and put fingers in mouths which can increase potential for exposure to pests and pesticides. 2.Children are more sensitive to the effects of pesticides, due to their growing and developing bodies. IPM practices help reduce student exposure to pests and pesticides.

5  Pest management problems in schools are common and include excessive and hazardous pesticide use and unchecked pest problems.  An independent evaluation of 29 school systems in more than 14 states revealed that almost half violated legal requirements or district policies for pest control (IPM Institute of North America, 2011). How IPM Reduces the Risks of Pests and Pesticides.

2. 6  Asthma affects nearly 9.5% of school children nationally (CDC, 2011).  Exposure to pests, rodents, cockroaches, dust mites, and molds and mildew can trigger asthma.  US EPA and the Centers for Disease Control recommend IPM in schools to reduce asthma problems. How IPM Reduces the Risks of Pests and Pesticides.

2. 7  Schools using IPM have lower pesticide residues and allergen levels, often with no more costs than schools receiving conventional pesticide applications.  An IPM approach focuses on fixing the problems that lead to pest infestations in the first place. How IPM Reduces the Risks of Pests and Pesticides.

Benefits of School IPM 8  IPM protects human and environmental health by reducing exposure to pests and pesticides.  IPM improves indoor air quality; there are fewer allergens.  A healthier environment reduces the number of missed school days for students and staff. 3.

Benefits of School IPM 9  Fewer pests reduces stress, improving morale and staff satisfaction.  IPM supports healthier, more comfortable and productive students and staff.  IPM gives long-term control of pests, often with no long-term increase in cost.

Check Point IPM can be used the following situation(s): A) Agricultural B) Residential C) Both of the above 10

4. Key Elements of IPM Pest identification:  Knowing which pest is present tells you what that pest needs to thrive in your school.  Whether or not an organism is a “pest” depends on where you find it: termites are essential decomposers and recyclers of wood in nature. But in a building, termites can be expensive pests. 11

4. Key Elements of IPM Monitoring and thresholds:  To detect problems early, IPM programs involve monitoring for pests in particular areas.  “Action thresholds” are sometimes set. When the number of pests hits your action threshold its time to do something about it. For some pests the action threshold is one. 12 Sticky Monitor Trap

Focus on prevention:  Improving sanitation reduces access to food.  Dirty floor drains provide food and shelter for flies, ants and cockroaches. 13 Key Elements of IPM Dirty Floor Drain

14 Maintenance:  Improving maintenance such as improperly installed or damaged door sweeps and seals prevents pest access to the building. This is often called “pest-proofing”.  Effective door sweeps can cut pest complaints by 65%. Key Elements of IPM This pest could have been stopped by a door sweep!

Key Elements of IPM 15  A pest sighting log can help school staff report and respond to pest problems.  Pest monitors in pest vulnerable areas (PVA’s) can provide an early warning.

Check Point What determines if an organism is a pest? A) How many are found. B) Where they are found. C) Both of the above. 17

Key Elements of IPM 18 More IPM tools  Naming and training an IPM Coordinator establishes leadership.  Writing a school-board- approved IPM Policy provides direction.  Drafting an IPM Plan organizes your pest management practices for your common pest problems.  IPM training teaches your school administrators, faculty, food service staff, maintenance and custodial staff, students, nurses, health aides and parents how to prevent pest problems.  Regular IPM communications, e.g., Pest Presses, can alert staff and students to timely prevention.

Key Elements of IPM 19 Don’t reinvent the wheel. Form partnerships with:  Universities  Extension  Your department of agriculture or health  Your pest management professional  Non-governmental organizations working to improve environmental health and safety

Check Point Some pests have lower thresholds than others, this is due to: A) How much it costs to implement IPM. B) Health related concerns. C) How difficult it is to identify them. 21
