The coordinator can coordinate notification of parents and staff of pesticide applications according to the school's notification procedure. The PCO should inspect building and identify housekeeping or maintenance problems that need to be corrected. Your PCO can use this visit to prepare a pest management plan that will help the PCO work within your school s pest control policy. The school pest control coordinator should also maintain a record of all pesticides used by either the PCO or school staff as a means to track compliance with the school's IPM policy. Pesticide use should be made when exposure to children and other people will not occur.
Some possibilities are holiday, weekend and evening pesticide applications.
In some cases certain areas of the schools may need to be blocked off before pesticide applications can be made to keep people from entering the treated area.
