Once pests are in-- they’re in!!
1. Killing them afterwards may not
mitigate all the health concerns:
2. Need for traps and possible pesticide application ? (albeit low hazard pesticides).
Ectoparasites (mites, fleas, lice, etc.)

Mouse and cockroacl1 allergens in the dust and air in northeastern
U11ited States inner-city public high schools
Abstract Considering that high schoo1 students spend a Jargc proportion ~f their waking hours in the school environment, this could be an important locat1on for exposure to indoor aliergens. \Ve have investigated the levels of mouse and cockroach alJergens in the settled dust and air from 11 schools in a major northeastern US city. Settled dust samples were vacuumed from 87 classrooms, three tjmes throughout the school year. Two separate air samples (flow =
