Lawn Care Spring Application
All District 207 facilities practice Integrated Pest Management to minimize the use of any pesticides on school grounds. The Structural Pest Control Act (225 ILCS 235/) and the Lawn Care Products Application and Notice Act (415 ILCS 65/) requires public schools to notify parents/guardians and school employees (who have requested to be notified) at least 48 hours (two business days) prior to any pesticide applications on school grounds. The term “pesticide” includes insecticides, herbicides, rodenticides and fungicides. The notification requirement extends to both indoor and outdoor pesticide applications. Excluded from the notification requirement are antimicrobials such as disinfectants, sanitizers or deodorizers, insecticide baits and rodenticide baits.
Pesticide application notification can be included in newsletters, bulletins, calendars and/or other correspondence currently published by each school and the District.
You have requested to be specifically notified of pesticide applications on school grounds.
On the weekends of May 9-10 and May 16-17, Maine Township High School District 207 will be applying the following products to various locations, weather permitting. If unexpected weather changes occur, the application will take place on May 23rd and May 24th.
- Nature Safe 10-2-8 All Season Fertilizer
- PowerZone® Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf [PBI/Gordon]
Thank you.
