This blog discusses the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Nebraska Schools. IPM utilizes a variety of methods, such as sanitation, exclusion, mechanical controls, and biological controls to manage pests. IPM strives to reduce pesticide use, improve human health and safety, and protect the environment.

IPM in Sensitive Environments manual
Revised and hot off the presses, check out our new Integrated Pest Management in Sensitive Environments: a How-To Guide! This manual is an update of our IPM in Schools: a How-To Guide, and we have edited and integrated information to fit not only schools, but other sensitive environments such as hospitals, nursing homes, child care centers, etc. It also has a new chapter on bed bugs, which of course has been a highly-talked about topic over the last few years.
The manual includes chapters about IPM, including monitoring and inspection, treatment strategies, action and injury levels, and how to develop an IPM program. It also has chapters on specific pests that cause problems in structures or on lawns and grounds, such as cockroaches, flies, lice, rodents, and stinging insects.
We hope you will take a look, and let us know what you think of our new manual!
