AND PROCEDURES OF QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.<br />

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT<br />

(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING)<br />

The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program employed by the <strong>Queen</strong> <strong>Anne's</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> is a proactive rather than a reactive approach to insect<br />

and rodent control in school facilities. The IPM program includes routine<br />

inspections or surveys of all school facilities to identify conditions conducive to<br />

pest invasion, to ensure early detection of pest presence, and to monitor<br />

infestation levels. As a first step in pest control, the IPM approach employs a<br />

number of preventative strategies and alternatives to pesticide application, such<br />

as: employee education, source reduction, inspection and identification of<br />

potential problem areas, and improved sanitation. Each approach is monitored<br />

and evaluated, and modifications are made if necessary. Integrated Pest<br />

Management includes treatment of school grounds. Pesticides are used only as<br />

a last resort.<br />

The following is a list of the pesticides and bait<br />

stations, by common name, that may be used in<br />

school buildings during the school year:<br />

GLUE BOARDS<br />

MECHANICAL TRAPS<br />

BORIC ACID<br />

MAXFORCE (hydramethylnon)<br />

TALON or FINAL (brodifacoum)<br />

DEMON (cypermethrin)<br />

Maryland Law requires that parents be notified prior to any interior pesticide application. Parents and staff will receive electronic notification of pending pesticide<br />

applications prior to interior or exterior applications. Copies of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and product labels for each pesticide and bait station used on<br />

school property are maintained by the contact person. Persons wishing to review this information or would like to comment on program, should contact: Mrs. Toni<br />

Schelts at <strong>QACPS</strong>, 202 Chesterfield Avenue, Centreville, MD 21617 or <strong>cal</strong>l 410-758-2403 ext. 140.<br />
