Learning Objectives
Slide36.
Key Elements of Monitoring
What is monitoring?
Monitoring is ongoing pest data collection, e.g., sticky insect traps.
Why monitor?
Measure pest population levels, detect problems early before they become serious and can also indicate direction of pest travel.

Slide44
Key Elements of Inspection and Monitoring
Pest Entry Points
Effective door sweeps and seals can reduce pest entry up to 65%
Slide5Inspection involves the regular observation and recording of:The
physical condition of buildings and grounds. Assessment of pest conducive conditions including
sanitation and exclusion
.
Detection of
pest damage and pest signs.

Key Elements of Inspection
Slide6Insect Trap
6
Insect monitors work 24-7 and help you identify type, number and direction of travel for pests.
Slide7Key Elements
of Reporting
Recordkeeping is important because it:Allows information to flow
easily and accurately from
one employee to another.
Allows IPM Coordinators to identify trends in pest
populations.
Includes inspection and
monitoring results, pest
complaints and pest site
applications.

Pest Conducive
Conditions
Food – deny pests access.
Clean-up food spills immediately.
Restrict food consumption to designated areas.
Seal stored food in pest-proof containers.
Restrict drinks other than water to indoor cafeteria areas.
Maintain dumpsters and keep surrounding areas clean and free of debris.
Detailed, deep cleaning of Pest Vulnerable Areas including kitchens, cafeterias, food storage rooms and trash handling areas and equipment.

Slide97.
Water
– deny pests required moisture. Repair plumbing leaks.
Keep flooring, machinery surfaces dry.
Ensure rainwater drains away from buildings.
Repair leaky valve boxes.Monitor hot water heaters for
leaks.
Ensure air-conditioning condensate
does not pool in drop ceiling tiles
or attic areas.
Repair roof leaks.
9
Pest Conducive
Conditions
Under optimum conditions some mosquito species can develop from eggs to adults in 4 days
Slide10Pest Conducive Conditions: Moisture and Mold
10
Moisture can lead to mold.Mold has the potential to cause health problems. Some building occupants, particularly those with allergies or respiratory problems, may report adverse health problems.
Too much exposure to
mold may cause or
worsen conditions suchas asthma, hay fever or other allergies.
Moldy Ceiling Tiles
Slide1111
Shelter – deny pests harborage and access.
Seal cracks, crevices and holes around wall
penetrations on external
surfaces.
Prune plants three feet away from buildings.
Create a 12-inch perimeter around building foundations.
Ensure door sweeps and weather stripping provide a
tight seal around entryways.
Pest Conducive
Conditions
Slide1212
Cockroaches live in and feed on cardboard boxes. Unpack all cartons and store supplies neatly on shelves. Wire rack shelving allows food debry to fall to floor, 6 inch height on bottom shelf allows easy clean and inspection.
Shelter – Before and After

Excellent
Slide13Check In
You receive a large shipment of materials. What do you do?
Leave packages in a storage area until materials are ready to be
used.
Unpack and
recycle cardboard boxes.
After unpacking keep the boxes for use storing items.

Slide1612.
Physical evidence of pest presence:
Rodent droppings and grease marks (oil smudges where rodent fur rubs surfaces).
Cockroaches, ants, spiders, beetles or other crawling pests caught
in
sticky monitoring traps.Flies caught in UV light traps.
Ant, bee and bird nests.
Signs of Infestation

Rapid Review- Entryways for Pests
Doorways
Windows
Openings around pipes
Areas around fans, air conditioners and building ventilation outlets
Exterior lighting
Roof flashing
Window wells
Keep exterior doors shut.
Make sure door thresholds and door sweeps are sealing properly.
Seal plumbing and electrical penetrations through walls.
Make sure screens are the correct size and in good repair.
Position exterior lights away from building to shine on building without drawing insects to entryways.
