It's In Your Hands

Lesson Description:
Calling all Junior Pest Investigators! Now that your Junior P.I.s have collected evidence about pests and ways to keep them out of our spaces, are they ready for their next mission? How can we teach more kids and adults about going green with IPM? How can we get people excited about using green strategies to make homes and schools healthy places for everyone…except pests? It’s time to create an IPM Plan that encourages both kids and adults to pledge their support for safe pest management strategies. Ready? Get set…Go Green! You can do it! It’s in your hands!
