Good communication among all occupants students, staff, parents, pest managers and decision-makers is needed for IPM to be successful in a childcare facility. All employees have an effect on their facility’s IPM program. Even staff with no formal responsibility for pest control can determine the degree of success of an IPM program. Defining roles and clearly communicating can result in a cost-effective management program with reduced risks to people and the environment.
