The district's pest management program adheres to Illinois State guidelines, prioritizing integrated pest management (IPM). This approach emphasizes preventative measures like cleaning and building maintenance to minimize pest entry and habitat. Chemical use is strictly limited and employed only when necessary and after exhausting non-chemical methods.
Our pest control contractor visits monthly. Inspections include consultations with custodians and thorough visual examinations of the buildings. Routine preventative spraying is prohibited.
The district provides a two-business-day notification before any pesticide application. Parents and staff can easily register for this notification by contacting the school.
