1 I N T E G R AT E D P E S T M A N AG E M E N T C H E C K L I S T This Integrated Pest Management Toolkit was developed by the University of California (UC), San Francisco School of Nrsing s California Childcare Health Program, UC Berkeley's Center for Environmental Research and Children's Health, UC Statewide IPM Program and the California Department of Pesticide Reglation.
2 I N T E G R A T E D P E S T M A N A G E M E N T : A C U R R I C U L U M F O R E A R L Y C A R E A N D E D U C A T I O N P R O G R A M S I N T E G R AT E D P E S T M A N AG E M E N T C H E C K L I S T The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Checklist will help yo inspect yor early care and edcation (ECE) bilding and gronds for the presence of pests and conditions that provide them with food, water and shelter. This IPM Checklist will also help yo monitor yor IPM program annally, semi-annally, or more freqently as needed. Read the fll instrctions before yo complete the IPM Checklist. The tools yo need to complete the checklist are listed along with the ways to identify evidence of pest or damage cased by pests. This list does not cover birds, termites and some other potential pests. Each item in the IPM Checklist helps yo remember to keep pests ot and remove food, water and shelter that may attract pests. Yo may not be able to address all of the conditions yo find right away. Start with easy-to-implement items and then address bigger challenges as yo become more familiar with IPM. The last section of the IPM Checklist has explanations for why some of the items are important to inspect. I n s t r c t i o n s Collect the helpfl tools to complete the inspection. v Complete the IPM Checklist Check the yes, no or N/A (not applicable) box o beside each item. Yes means yor environment is less likely to have pests. No responses reqire frther attention. Do not check yes nless the ECE facility meets all the parts of the item. For example, item #10 states, Window screens are free of damage (for example, holes); if one window doesn t have a screen, yo shold check no even if all the other windows have screens. Make a note in the comment section where the window is located. The comment section after each item can inclde follow-p notes, things that need to be improved or changed, and things to be discssed with program staff or action plans. w Under each sbsection, yo will identify any evidence of pests and the damage they case. Check the box yes if yo notice evidence of pests (for example, mose droppings). Leave the box nchecked if there is no evidence of pests. x Review the completed IPM Checklist with the ECE director and IPM Coordinator. H e l p f l t o o l s f o r a n I P M i n s p e c t i o n Bilding map or floor plan to mark areas that may need follow-p management or reglar inspection. v Standard flashlight and UV flashlight (good for detecting rodent rine stains, which floresce nder UV light). w Knife or flat spatla to pt into narrow cracks and crevices to reveal where pests like to hide and where they seek shelter and food. If a spatla fits in a crack in concrete, baseboards, wallboards or nderneath chalkboards, pests can hide there. x Hand lens or jeweler s lope magnifying glass for insect identification. y Vial for collecting collecting any pests yo might want identified. z Telescoping mirrors lengthen from arond 6 to 36 inches perfect for seeing behind or nder hard-to-reach places. { Pest information sheets from the IPM Statewide web site at U V f l a s h l i g h t T e l e s c o p i n g M i r r o r UCSF California Childcare Health Program, University of California, San Francisco School of Nrsing

Look for ant trails arond windows, electrical or plmbing lines and bilding edges. Look for holes or cracks in the fondations or walls that provide entry points to bildings. Straggling ants are sally scots randomly searching for food or nesting sites. When yo spot ant trails, try to follow the ants to where they re entering the bilding and, if possible, to the nest. Cockroaches: Look for evidence of cockroaches sch as droppings (dark spots or smears), cast skins and dead roaches. They especially like warm (70 75 F), hmid areas close to food and waste kitchens, bathrooms, food preparation and storage areas. Place traps in several locations and inspect them reglarly. Yo ll need to identify the cockroach species yo have. Fleas: If yo sspect a flea invasion indoors, pll on some light-colored knee socks and walk arond. Any fleas will hop on to the socks. Then get ot a vacm cleaner and vacm the area 2 3 times daily ntil the infestation is controlled. Flies: Look for hose flies arond windows and signs of rotting food and garbage (where maggots thrive). Mice and rats: Look for brrows, gnawing on garbage receptacles and droppings. Look at packaged food, doors, windows, baseboards and electrical cords for chewed spots, tooth marks, woodchips or shavings. Check near walls, food spplies and pathways for droppings. Old droppings are hard, or gray and brittle. Fresh droppings are dark and soft, possibly a sign of a crrent infestation. Check for freshly dg earth near holes arond fondations and walls. Check for rb marks along walls these are dark smears where dirt and oil from rodent fr mark pipes, beams, hallways, edges of stairs or arond gnawed holes. Fine, shredded paper or similar materials are common nest-bilding materials. Mold and mildew: Look for mold in indoor places that smell msty, and in areas that are often wet or damp, sch as bathrooms, landry or tility rooms and basements. Moldy or damp odors shold be noted becase they sggest that water may be present and mold growth is likely. Also note staff complaints of odors and health problems. Mold comes in many colors, not jst black, and does not need light to grow. It can grow in dark areas and on hidden srfaces, sch as the backside of drywall, wallpaper and paneling; the top side of ceiling tiles; and the nderside of carpets and pads. Mosqitoes: Where is there standing water? Water tends to accmlate in clogged gtters, bckets and other toys left otside. Look for mosqitoes resting on walls or hovering near people. Snails and slgs: Look for irreglar holes with smooth edges in leaves and flowers. Look for their silvery trails to confirm slgs or snails cased the damage and not other garden pests. Spiders: Look for cobwebs and spiders in dark areas of the bilding. Spiders are almost always harmless. If yo find a black widow spider, yo can swat it with a rolled-p piece of paper and then step on it. Brown reclse spiders do not live in California. Weeds: Look for lawn weeds sch as clover, which attracts honey bees. The bees cold pose a problem if children se the lawn as a play area. Yellowjackets: Look for yellowjackets. Nests can be fond in rodent brrows, in the grond, in voids in walls and ceilings of bildings. Other: Look for evidence for other pests often in the form of droppings sch as raccoons, gophers, pigeons and sqirrels UCSF California Childcare Health Program, University of California, San Francisco School of Nrsing

9 E X P L A N AT I O N O F S O M E I T E M S L I S T E D I N I PM C H E C K L I S T Qestions abot an item? Look for the corresponding nmber below for an explanation of the reasons for and importance of some of the Checklist items. O U T D O O R A R E A S Garbage Storage 1. Garbage cans and dmpsters are sealed properly Garbage cans and dmpsters are metal or heavy-dty plastic and have lids that make a tight seal. WHY? Garbage cans and dmpsters that don t seal properly, or can be gnawed throgh by rats, provide access to food for rodents, birds, flies and other pests. 2. Garbage cans and dmpsters are located away from doors WHY? Garbage cans and dmpsters located too close to doors can attract flies and yellowjackets, which then can enter the bilding. 3. Garbage cans and dmpsters are located on hard, cleanable srfaces sch as concrete WHY? Hard, cleanable srfaces sch as concrete or asphalt pads help prevent rats from making brrows beneath them. Hard srfaces are easier to clean when spills occr. Flies, yellowjackets and other pests are attracted to spills. 4. Area arond garbage cans and dmpsters is free from spilled liqids or garbage Overflowing containers indicate the need for more containers or more freqent garbage pickp. WHY? Spilled liqids and garbage attract pests. 5. All recyclables are rinsed or cleaned WHY? Food or drink resides in bottles or cans can attract pests that are looking for food. Bilding Exterior 7. Walls, roof and fondation are free of holes or cracks WHY? Grond-level bilding seals, electrical and plmbing service entryways, roof entryways and windows are entryways for pests. 10. Window screens are free of damage (for example, holes or gaps) WHY? Pests commonly enter a bilding throgh holes, cracks, gaps and crevices in between pipes, vents, roofs, floors, windows, walls, baseboards, cabinets and mirrors. If yo can fit a dime or pencil into the hole, then a mose or rat can fit throgh the gap, too. 11. Vents and other large openings are screened with < ¼ inch hardware cloth WHY? Vents and large openings covered with ¼ inch hardware cloth will keep rodents, birds and yellowjackets ot and make it harder for them to brrow back throgh the hole. 12. Exterior doors have sweeps, weatherstripping or similar barriers If light is visible nder or arond doors, sweeps or weatherstripping shold be installed. WHY? If light is visible nder doors mice, crawling insects and spiders can enter the bilding. All exterior doors need sweeps, weatherstripping or similar barriers, especially doors near the garbage receptacle area. 13. Roof gtters are clear of leaves and debris WHY? Clogged gtters allow water to drip down the side of a bilding, damaging otside walls and increasing the chance of mold, mildew and wood rot. 15. Water drains away from bilding WHY? Even small leaks or sorces of water keep the wood or soil nderneath a bilding continosly moist. These are ideal conditions for termites. Pests reqire water to srvive. 16. Fondation comes p at least 12 inches above soil level WHY? Elevated fondations provide a barrier to keep pests from entering. Landscape and Play Area 21. Wood, debris and thick mlch are at least 6 inches away from bilding WHY? Rodents and some insects, sch as ants, like to live in wood piles, debris and thick mlch. Ivy is a favorite shelter for rats. Yo shold be able to see the bilding fondation to inspect for pests. Keeping shrbs and plants away from bildings increases light and air circlation and redces moistre. 25. Water drains away from bilding Water drains shold slope away from bilding to prevent standing water next to bildings. WHY? Standing water in lawns, toys and containers provides ideal conditions for mosqitoes to breed. Moistre allows mold and mildew to grow and provides water necessary for pests to srvive UCSF California Childcare Health Program, University of California, San Francisco School of Nrsing
10 E X P L A N A T I O N O F S O M E I T E M S L I S T E D I N I P M C H E C K L I S T 26. Garbage containers otdoors have dome lids WHY? Dome lids prevent yellowjackets, rodents and other pests from searching for food. Unlike other types of lids, dome lids are convenient to se and always fit the container sngly. 27. Garbage containers have plastic linings WHY? Plastic linings help keep garbage containers clean. They make garbage easier to toss into larger receptacles 28. Rodent bait stations, if present, are ot of children s reach WHY? Bait stations may contain sharp edges and pesticides that can harm children. 29. Yellowjacket traps, if present, are away from play and eating areas WHY? Monitoring or lre traps can attract yellowjackets into play areas. I N D O O R A R E A S Kitchen 34. Blk food prodcts are stored off the floor and ot of contact with walls WHY? Allows inspection nder and behind containers, and redces pest shelters and available food. 36. Floors and molding are free of food scraps, grease and sgary sbstances WHY? Food that s left ot attracts ants, cockroaches, flies, mice, rats, and other pests. 37.
