EPA announced 3 grants to facilitate integrated pest management practices in schools. IPM helps prevent pests from becoming a threat by addressing underlying causes that enable pests to thrive in schools. These actions, such as repairing water leaks, adding weather stripping to windows, and installing door sweeps, reduce pesticide use and treatment costs as well as water and energy costs. Grants will go to Texas A&M Agrilife Extension, University of Arizona, and Michigan State University.
