Pest management in schools
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority have developed an advisory booklet titled Pest Management in Schools.
This booklet, published in August 2008, provides information and guidance regarding the safe and effective use of pesticides in this environment. It is intended for staff, students, parents, pest control operators and the general public.
New regulations for the use of glue traps
Under the new Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Regulations 2008, the use of glue traps has been restricted. Glue traps must only be used by commercial pest control operators. They can only be used for trapping rodents and must be used in accordance with conditions set by the Minister for Agriculture. For further information please refer to the information sheet.
