In 1990, the Texas legislature ruled to change the way that school personnel dealt with their pests. They enacted a state law requiring all public schools to use integrated pest management (IPM), switching from regular use of highly toxic pesticides to a program of prevention and safer pest management practices. Although 36 states have some form of regulation, Texas is one of the few that require schools to use IPM.
