Pest-Free Environments

The PSB Operations Department maintains a strict protocol for Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is an approach to pest control that relies on a combination of common-sense practices for preventing and controlling pests such as insects and small rodents. In an IPM approach, all possible pest management options are considered, not just pesticides. Considerable effort is also put towards preventing pest problems by controlling conditions in buildings that might attract and support pests. IPM plans have been developed for each school to ensure the health and safety of students, teachers, staff, administrators and all others using Brookline’s public school buildings.

IPM is a collaborative effort involving administrators, teachers, students, facilities staff and pest control operators, among others. All pest sightings should be noted in the IPM logbook located in the Administrative office of each school. A complete IPM plan, including instructions for logging sightings, is available in the Principal’s office. A copy is also provided to the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture and is updated annually. The senior custodian at each school checks the logbook daily and arranges corrective action through the Building Services Department.
