If bait stations are placed inside of a school building is the school required to provide 24 hour advance notification to parents/guardians and school staff?
No. Bait stations are not included in the definition of “pesticide”. However, schools must provide “In-School Notification” to students and staff before a bait station is applied by putting a sign or notice on the door of the room or primary entrance to the area in which the bait station is placed. The notice or sign must remain until the bait station is removed.
