Pesticide Policy

Per the Department of Child and Family Services Section 407.370 

^{Before a child is enrolled, the day care center shall provide a summary of its pest management plan and uses of pesticides to the child's parents or guardians. The center shall notify all parents or guardians before a pesticide application, or maintain a registry of parents or guardians who wish to receive written notification of when the facility will receive a pesticide application and send a written notification to them. Notification of the intended date of the application of the pesticide, which may be in the form of newsletters, bulletins, calendars, or other written communication methods presently used by the center, must be given at least 2, but not more than 30, days before the pesticide application. When economically feasible, the center must adopt an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program as defined in Section 3.25 of the Structural Pest Control Act [225 ILCS 235/3.25], involving the cooperation between day care staff and pest control personnel or other specialists to use a variety of non-chemical methods as well as pesticides, when needed, to reduce pest infestations to acceptable levels and to minimize children's exposure to pesticides.}

We at the Little Green Tree House have contracted A-plus Pest Control as our pest control company. Every month, A- Plus sends a technician to the center to evaluate any issues we may have. The Little Green Tree House takes preventive measures in order to have a safe, clean environment for our children and staff. 

A-Plus is endorsed by the Safer Pest Control Project.

If you wish to have a notification sent to you when our pest control technician is scheduled to visit the school please let the front desk know.
