Recommendations

The outcome of any inspection is a list of recommendations that should be communicated 
to the IPM Coordinator or facility manager for the school or childcare center. 
Recommendations may include:

- Sealing doors, windows, or other potential pest entries into buildings
- Repairing leaky faucets or pipes
- Improving sanitation practices and/or trash management in and around facilities
- Eliminating pest harborage by sealing cracks or gaps that can lead into pest 
  living spaces
- Eliminating pest harborage and facilitating better inspections by reducing clutter
- Use of baits or traps where pest populations are present
- Use of a pesticide to eliminate a pest infestation
- Selection and maintenance of landscape plants that discourage pest problems
- Monthly inspections may also include comments on progress made (or not made) 
  on previous recommendations
