Wilkes County Schools has implemented an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. This can help reduce or even eliminate the risks of pesticides by using simple, low-cost methods. With proper training, planning, and effective communication among affected parties, IPM can prevent pest problems, reduce the need for pesticide application, and greatly improve the quality of the school environment.
