Pesticides target insects, plants, fungi, and animals we want to eliminate. Unfortunately, they bring unintended consequences such as harming beneficial insects, other wildlife, and sometimes even ourselves.\r\n\r\nThe use and misuse of these chemicals have been linked to a number of serious health and environmental effects. Strong scientific evidence has connected pesticide exposure to a host of health hazards from asthma and ADHD in children, to cancer and reproductive problems. Moreover, the production and use of pesticides pollutes our water ecosystems and threatens our drinking water sources and wildlife.\r\n\r\nIt’s important to be fully aware of the harmful effects of pesticides so we can understand the need for alternative strategies for pest control, and help promote healthier communities, homes, and schools.\r\n\r\n[one_half]\r\n<h3>Children’s Health</h3>\r\nChildren are especially vulnerable to pesticide exposure.\r\n<a class=\"more\" title=\"Read More\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/the-problem/childrens-health/\">Read More</a>\r\n\r\n[/one_half]\r\n\r\n[one_half_last]\r\n<h3>Reproductive Health</h3>\r\nPesticides threaten the delicate balance of our reproductive hormones and systems.\r\n<a class=\"more\" title=\"Read More\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/the-problem/reproductive-health/\">Read More</a>\r\n\r\n[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n[one_half]\r\n<h3>Cancer</h3>\r\nStrong scientific evidence links pesticide exposure to rising cancer rates.\r\n<a class=\"more\" title=\"Read More\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/the-problem/cancer/\">Read More</a>\r\n\r\n[/one_half]\r\n\r\n[one_half_last]\r\n<h3>Environment</h3>\r\nPesticides threaten our water and wildlife.\r\n<a class=\"more\" title=\"Read More\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/the-problem/environment/\">Read More</a>\r\n\r\n[/one_half_last]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','The Problem','','publish','open','open','','the-problem','','','2015-10-06 15:02:01','2015-10-06 15:02:01','',0,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?page_id=4',0,'page','',8),(6,1,'2013-08-20 21:35:44','2013-08-20 21:35:44','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/2100-x-1400-DandelionHeadband-e1380813500621.jpg\" alt=\"Dandelion Headband\" width=\"719\" height=\"320\" />\r\n<h2>What We Do</h2>\r\nFor the past 20 years, Midwest Pesticide Action Center has been working at the local, state, and regional levels to protect people and the environment from the dangers of pesticides through advocacy, education, and outreach.

We work at the local, state, and regional levels to implement long-term policy changes and develop replicable programs for pesticide-use reduction. We are the only organization in the Midwest dedicated to protecting people and the environment from the serious impacts of pesticides. Recognition for our successful programs includes an Environmental Protection Agency Children’s Environmental Health Award, an Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Justice Award, and a Governor\'s Pollution Prevention Award. In 2013, after a thoughtful evaluation that included input from our staff, board, and stakeholders, we changed our name from Safer Pest Control Project to Midwest Pesticide Action Center. This new incarnation reinforces our core commitment and mission: to reduce the health risks and environmental impacts of pesticides by promoting safer alternatives. As Midwest Pesticide Action Center, we will continue to address issues related to pesticide use, while expanding our reach throughout the<a name=\"Staff\"></a> Midwest.\r\n<h2>Staff</h2>\r\n<h3>Ruth Kerzee, Executive Director</h3>\r\nRuth Kerzee, Executive Director, has been on Midwest Pesticide Action Center’s staff since 2005.

Parks should provide safe, healthy places; however, many parks use pesticides on playgrounds and sports fields, along fence lines, and even to create grass-free zones around trees.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center works to ensure safe and healthy parks for everyone. We engage with communities and park districts across the Midwest to reduce pesticide use and models in demonstrating how to manage green spaces in a healthy way for both people and the environment.\r\n\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"Healthy\"></a> for: <a href=\"#Healthy\">A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</a>\r\n<h2>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park<span class=\"mceMediaCredit\"><span id=\"4\" class=\"media-credit-mce alignnone\" style=\"width: 255px;\"><span class=\"media-credit-dd\">\r\n</span></span></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MPAC-Healthy-Parks-Campaign-1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-725 alignright\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MPAC-Healthy-Parks-Campaign-1-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Healthy Parks Campaign Chicago\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" /></a>Midwest Pesticide Action Center created the <i>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</i> campaign, an outreach initiative designed to help communities adopt sustainable landscape maintenance practices that do not rely on the use of toxic chemicals.\r\n\r\nThe campaign helps address aesthetic concerns by emphasizing that the presence of dandelions in a park does not mean neglect, but a healthier park and safer place to play.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The first <i>A Healthy Park is a Natural Park</i> campaign launched in Chicago during the spring of 2009 through a partnership with the largest municipal park manager in the country, the Chicago Park District.</li>\r\n 	<li>The Chicago Park District refined their landscape-maintenance practices to prevent the use of chemicals in 90 percent of Chicago’s 570 parks, raise awareness about the dangers of pesticide use in public spaces, increase the demand from residents for sustainably maintained parks, and save money.</li>\r\n 	<li>Over the last four years, the campaign prevented the use of 66,125 pounds of pesticide-active ingredients.</li>\r\n 	<li>By not spraying weed killer, the City saves $1.4 million per application.</li>\r\n 	<li>The campaign helped reduce community complaints about dandelions by 90 percent.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<blockquote>“The Park District strives to keep our Chicago parks a healthy place for everyone to enjoy.

Most of us do not realize that pollution occurs more often in indoor environments than outdoor. In fact, Americans spend billions of dollars every year in housing-related healthcare costs such as asthma, lead-based paint poisoning, and allergies.\r\n\r\nA healthy home is dry, clean, ventilated, free from pests and contaminants, well maintained, and safe. Integrated Pest Management yields an effective, safe way to control pests.\r\n\r\nIntegrated Pest Management acts as an effective, common-sense approach to pest control that provides information on the habits and traits of pests and how they interact with our environment. This approach encourages a well-maintained home, free of water damage and other structural issues, and the use of the least toxic methods for control of pests to limit the impacts of pesticides on health issues like asthma and cancer.\r\n\r\nSince 2009, Midwest Pesticide Action Center has:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Held 65 housing related training events in IPM</li>\r\n 	<li>Trained over 3,000 individuals</li>\r\n 	<li>Impacted over 200,000 households</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"Empower\"></a> for: <a href=\"#Empower\">Empowering Residents</a>, <a href=\"#Educate\">Educating Housing Managers</a>, <a href=\"#Green\">Green and Healthy Homes</a>\r\n<h2>Empowering Residents</h2>\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center educates residents on reducing the misuse and overuse of pesticides while still effectively controlling pests by advocating for Integrated Pest Management.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center develops many helpful resources that explain Integrated Pest Management to both renters and homeowners in an understandable way. We deliver this information by:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Talking to residents on a one-on-one basis at housing fairs;</li>\r\n 	<li>Organizing informative workshops that are targeted to residents;</li>\r\n 	<li>Collaborating with other organizations to inform renters and other residents on their right to healthy living conditions; and</li>\r\n 	<li>Providing technical assistance over the phone to hundreds of<a name=\"Educate\"></a> residents</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>Educating Housing Managers</h2>\r\nWe have trained thousands of landlords and housing managers on safe, cost-effective, pest-control methods.  Low-income residents and public housing are often particularly affected by unhealthy homes.\r\n\r\nIn 1996, Midwest Pesticide Action Center worked with Chicago’s Henry Horner Public Housing Development to launch a landmark IPM program. Highlights of the program include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Targeted improvements in building maintenance, resident involvement and education on pest-management practices;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Regular pest inspection with minimal treatment by an operator with Integrated Pest Management expertise;</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In the first year, 90 percent of the development’s 500 residents reported satisfaction with the program; and</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>An 83 percent drop in the amount of insecticidal gel bait used on the property.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<blockquote>“You folks are unique in so many ways and so very important to landlords, tenants, the City of Chicago and, last but not least, the American way of life.\"\r\n\r\n- Paul Bernstein, Attorney at<a name=\"Green\"></a> Law</blockquote>\r\n<h2>Green and Healthy Homes</h2>\r\nThe <a href=\"http://www.greenandhealthyhomes.org/\">Green and Healthy Homes Initiative</a> is a national partnership of public, private, and philanthropic efforts that delivers a cost-effective and integrated approach to housing interventions through weatherization, energy efficiency, health, and safety.

Midwest Pesticide Action Center has long been actively engaged in the important issue of helping residents that suspect a bed bug infestation not to overuse and misuse pesticides. Our work with the city began in 2010 and culminated in 2011 when we submitted our report, <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/MPAC-Battling-Bed-Bugs.pdf\"><i>Battling Bed Bugs in Chicago: Making the Case for a Comprehensive Plan</i></a>, to the mayor’s office.  This report helped argue the need for a comprehensive bed bug ordinance and provided a foundation upon which the ordinance could be built.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center worked with the sponsoring Alderman and stakeholders, including organizations and associations representing tenant and landlord/owners’ rights.  Our goal was to elevate the issue of bed bug control in Chicago and promote proper control practices for and slow the spread of bed bugs.  An important component of the ordinance is the requirement that all tenants receive basic education on bed bugs and how to control them.\r\n\r\nThe ordinance requires property owners to provide best- management practices for bed bug control—practices advocated by Midwest Pesticide Action Center. It also outlines responsibilities for tenants and property owners and directs the Department of Public Health to develop a website-based educational campaign with the most current information on effective bed bug control.\r\n\r\nAdditional responsibilities include written notification, inspection, treatment via best practices as outlined by the <a href=\"http://www.pestworld.org/all-things-bed-bugs/best-practices/\">National Pest Management Association</a>, proper disposal practices, and documentation of pest management measures.\r\n\r\nThe City of Chicago has developed a brochure that landlords must distribute to tenants renewing an existing lease or entering into a new lease. It can be found <a href=\"http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/cdph/environmental_health_and_food/BedBugBrochureOct312013.pdf\">here</a>.\r\n\r\nNon-compliance with the ordinance will result in significant fines for property owners that fail to take steps to eradicate bed bug infestations as well as tenants who do not cooperate.\r\n\r\n<strong>Metropolitan Tenants Organization has developed a short overview of the Ordinance which can be found <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MTO-factsheet1.pdf\">here</a>.</strong>\r\n<strong>View the full ordinance <a href=\"https://chicago.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1255501&amp;GUID=CED19AF3-ADD2-4771-BDDB-04923461D3AC&amp;Options=Advanced&amp;Search=\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</strong>\r\n<strong>Learn about proper bed bug control <a title=\"Beat Back Bed Bugs\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/in-your-home/#BedBugs\">here</a>.</strong>','Chicago\'s Bed Bug Ordinance','','publish','open','open','','mpac-advocates-for-bed-bug-policy','','http://www.tenants-rights.org/chicago-council-passes-bed-bug-ordinance/\nhttp://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/in-your-home/#BedBugs','2013-12-09 20:44:35','2013-12-09 20:44:35','',0,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?p=89',0,'post','',0),(93,1,'2013-08-27 19:28:05','2013-08-27 19:28:05','','Activists_Toolkit_Webheader','','inherit','open','open','','activists_toolkit_webheader','','','2013-08-27 19:28:05','2013-08-27 19:28:05','',91,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Activists_Toolkit_Webheader.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(95,1,'2013-08-27 19:29:34','2013-08-27 19:29:34','','Blog','','publish','open','open','','blog','','','2016-11-30 22:15:30','2016-11-30 22:15:30','',0,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?page_id=95',0,'page','',0),(97,1,'2013-08-27 22:01:24','2013-08-27 22:01:24','<h3><a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/iStock_000018320281Medium-Hands-Raised-e1380815404656.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/iStock_000018320281Medium-Hands-Raised-e1380815404656.jpg\" alt=\"Hands Raised\" width=\"499\" height=\"290\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h2>Catalyze Change in Your Community</h2>\r\nYou can catalyze change that will make your community a safer place.  Affecting community-wide policies in schools and parks can have a huge impact on limiting the use of toxic pesticides.

Home</h1>\r\nYou can limit the pesticide exposure of you, your family, and the environment by making healthy decisions in your yard and home. Pesticides can enter our homes on our shoes and clothes when we walk through chemically treated lawns, when we use chemicals to control pests like ants and cockroaches, and when we purchase certain foods. Reducing exposure to these toxic chemicals begins at home and you can start by following these simple tips. To view a full list of all of our resources <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">click here.</a>\r\n\r\nContinue reading for: <a href=\"#Stewardship\">Stewardship Begins in Your Backyard</a>, <a href=\"#IndoorPests\">Control Indoor Pests in a Smart Way</a>, <a href=\"#HirePestControl\">Hiring a Pest Control Provider</a>, <a href=\"#BedBugs\">Beat Back Bed Bugs</a>,<a name=\"Stewardship\"></a> <a href=\"#SmartFood\">Make Smart Food Choices</a>\r\n<h3>Stewardship Begins in Your Backyard</h3>\r\nLawns comprise nearly one-quarter of urban and suburban landscapes. Caring for them responsibly by limiting the amount of water, fertilizers, and pesticides we apply can have a huge impact on our health and environment. For in-depth information, please see our <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">resources page</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Start with a soil test. </strong>Test your soil every three to five years to help determine exactly what you need to keep it healthy.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Fertilize organically.</strong> Switch to an <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/understanding-organic-fertilizers/\">organic fertilizer</a> made from plant or animal materials. These fertilizers allow the grass to absorb nutrients gradually because excess nutrients bind to soil rather than running off into our sewers, lakes, and rivers.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Diversify your lawn.</strong> Turf grass requires lots of maintenance because it is not native to our region. Plant other ground cover, bushes, and trees  more suitable for our climate and light conditions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Water properly.</strong> Water deeply and infrequently early in the morning to minimize evaporation and safeguard against fungus. Ideally, you want <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/satisfying-demand-reducing-supply-caring-for-grass-in-a-water-stressed-world/\">one inch of water</a> delivered once a week.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Mow correctly.</strong> Mow your lawn to at least three inches high. Correct mowing will increase the strength of the root system and naturally shade out weeds.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Banish weeds naturally.</strong> All of these proper lawn care tips will help banish weeds naturally. Other products such as <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/corn-gluten-meal-the-dos-and-donts/\">corn meal gluten</a> applied in early spring can also help.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Hire a natural lawn care provider.</strong> Midwest Pesticide Action Center works with <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Midwest_Lawncare_Website_updated.pdf\">landscape contractors</a> across the Midwest to provide training and<a name=\"IndoorPests\"></a> resources.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Take our Midwest Grows Green Pledge! </strong>For up-to-date natural lawn care resources and progress visit <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/midwest-grows-green/community-engagement/take-the-pledge/\">bit.ly/MGGpledge</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Control Indoor Pests in a Smart Way</h3>\r\nOver the years, many Americans have relied on synthetic pesticides to control pests. Integrated Pest Management is a smarter, safer way to deal with pests. By blocking a pest’s access to food, water, and shelter, you will have fewer pests in your home and need fewer pesticides. For in-depth information, please see our <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">resources page</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Keep pests out.</strong> Caulk, cement, or otherwise seal cracks and holes on the outside of your home, install door sweeps and avoid propping doors open. Make sure window screens are free of tears.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Remove access </strong>to food and water. Practice good sanitation, especially in areas where food is cooked, stored, or eaten. Clean behind appliances often, and seal food in pest-proof containers. Make sure all garbage cans have tight-fitting lids. Repair leaky pipes and remove standing water. Keep drains clean and unclogged.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Reduce shelter.</strong> Get rid of clutter. A messy room provides many hiding places for pests. Seal holes in the walls including intentional ones for plumbing or electrical cords.  Seal gaps along baseboards or backsplashes around sinks. Use open shelving that is easy to clean under.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Routinely monitor</strong> for pests so you can you spot a problem early. Place sticky traps in the pest prone areas of kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, closets, or problem areas and check them often.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Treat </strong>existing problems. Stop routine pesticide spraying. Only use pesticides after completing the above items. Choose least-toxic approaches first, like traps and bait stations, over sprayed or dusted pesticides.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Hire</strong> a qualified pest control operator. You may need more than these recommendations. A qualified pest control operator can be a great asset in controlling pests safely and <a name=\"HirePestControl\"></a> effectively.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Hiring a Pest Control Provider</h3>\r\nIf you have consistent pest problems, or manage a multi-unit building, we recommend you contract with a licensed pest control provider. They can help identify problem areas in your home and coordinate a monitoring and treatment plan that utilizes the practices of Integrated Pest Management. Midwest Pesticide Action Center has developed the following factsheet to help you make an informed decision when selecting a pest control operator. <a name=\"BedBugs\"></a> <em><a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/MPAC-How-Do-I-Know-Im-Receiving-IPM-Factsheet.pdf\"> How Do I Know I\'m Receiving Integrated Pest Management?</a></em>\r\n<h3>Beat Back Bed Bugs</h3>\r\nBed bugs are one of the most persistent problems to plague our homes. Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed on us as food. Spotting bed bugs early is the key to preventing their spread. Below are some practices to help catch a bed bug problem early. The smaller the infestation, the easier to control. For in-depth information, please see our <a class=\"more\" title=\"All Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">resources page</a>.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Be on the lookout</strong> for signs of infestations especially around sleeping areas. Signs include: live bugs, dark brown or black spots on bedding, carpets, walls and furniture.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Launder</strong> bedding often. A hot clothes dryer will kill bed bugs in all stages of development. Use it for pillows, stuffed animals, and even “dry clean only” items.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Paint and caulk</strong> around sleeping areas such as baseboards, windows, and bed frames to seal hiding spots.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Inspect used furniture</strong> or other items closely before bringing them into your home. Look for signs of infestations in cushions, zippers, seams, and underneath including springs and frames.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Take extra care when traveling</strong> or staying in a new place. Bed bugs can hitch a ride home on your clothing or luggage.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Hire a professional</strong> if you think you have an infestation. These pests are tenacious and are best left to<a name=\"SmartFood\"></a> the professionals</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Make Smart Food Choices</h3>\r\nMuch of our pesticide exposure comes from the food we eat. Conventionally grown produce is treated with insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides. These pesticides can accumulate up the food chain into foods we eat like milk, butter and meat. They also negatively affect the honeybee and other pollinator populations.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Buy organic</strong> produce when possible.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Thoroughly wash and peel</strong> conventionally grown produce before cooking or eating it to remove any pesticides that may be on its surface.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Trim</strong> fat and skin off conventionally fed meat and poultry to reduce your consumption of pesticides that accumulate in animal fat.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Be especially mindful</strong> of what you feed children. Pound for pound, they eat more food and drink more water than adults. Their bodies are still developing and are especially vulnerable to the effects of pesticide exposure.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Consult</strong> the Environmental Working Group’s “<a title=\"Shopper\'s Guide to Pesticides in Produce\" href=\"http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/\" target=\"_blank\">Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce</a>” to help you make the best food choices for limiting the ingestion of pesticides.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Resources</h3>\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center has developed a number of resources to help you make smart decisions about controlling pests at home, including resources just for renters, building managers, and homeowners on our resources page. <a class=\"more\" title=\"View all Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Photo courtesy of Biodiversity Project</em>','In Your Home','','publish','closed','open','','in-your-home','','','2017-04-07 16:15:59','2017-04-07 16:15:59','',8,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?page_id=135',0,'page','',6),(137,1,'2013-09-09 14:13:41','2013-09-09 14:13:41',' ','','','publish','closed','closed','','137','','','2018-07-26 21:11:37','2018-07-26 21:11:37','',8,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?p=137',16,'nav_menu_item','',0),(138,1,'2013-09-09 14:13:41','2013-09-09 14:13:41',' ','','','publish','closed','closed','','138','','','2018-07-26 21:11:37','2018-07-26 21:11:37','',8,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?p=138',25,'nav_menu_item','',0),(139,1,'2013-09-09 14:13:41','2013-09-09 14:13:41',' ','','','publish','closed','closed','','139','','','2018-07-26 21:11:37','2018-07-26 21:11:37','',8,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?p=139',17,'nav_menu_item','',0),(148,2,'2013-09-09 15:39:13','2013-09-09 15:39:13','<h1><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-904\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Feet_Legs_Grass-e1384289475330.jpg\" alt=\"Kids Legs in Grass\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></h1>\r\n<h1>Support Us</h1>\r\n<a title=\"Donate to Midwest Pesticide Action Center\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/donate/\"><b>Donate now</b></a> to support Midwest Pesticide Action Center!

Bed bugs can live everywhere—from single-family homes, apartment buildings, and shelters, to office buildings and hotels. Residents, building managers, and businesses take desperate measures to control these tenacious pests, often leading to dangerous use and misuse of pesticides that aggravate asthma and cause unnecessary exposure to high levels of chemicals. Minimal use of pesticides can safely and effectively control Bed bugs. Midwest Pesticide Action Center holds training events, workshops, and has developed outreach materials to educate residents and institutions on how to spot early signs of bed bug infestations, response strategies, and effective treatment options.

These groups inherit deteriorating schools and substandard housing (containing lead paint, asbestos, and mold).  Industrial facilities and polluting infrastructures such as highways located near their neighborhoods lead to higher rates of exposure to toxic pollutants such as lead, arsenic, pesticides, and other poisons in schoolyards, parks and playgrounds.\r\n\r\nAs a result, low-income communities and individuals experience increased exposure to environmental hazards and suffer disproportionately from environmentally related diseases. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated that African-American children are three times more likely than white children to be hospitalized for asthma and asthma-related conditions and are four to six times more likely to die from asthma.\r\n\r\nFrom its inception in 1994, Midwest Pesticide Action Center has been addressed environmental justice issues as they relate to pesticide exposure and the negative impacts on children.\r\n\r\nContinue reading for <a name=\"Success\"></a> for: <a href=\"#Success\">A History of Success</a>, <a href=\"#CC\">Pesticide-Free Childcare Coalition in Illinois</a>\r\n<h2>A History of Success</h2>\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center won a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2008 Environmental Justice Achievement Award for our groundbreaking work with childcare facilities. Our work leading up to this award included:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Coalition building with organizations and agencies charged with licensing and inspecting childcare facilities for compliance as well as licensed childcare providers.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Free training to caregivers on how to provide safer, more effective pest control while providing a more healthful learning environment.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Additional awareness training and policy development for inspectors, licensing agents, and continuing education providers in order to ensure the enforcement of applicable Integrated Pest Management laws.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOur efforts have resulted in great success. As of June 2013, 82% of childcare facilities have indicated they comply with state law requiring licensed childcare centers and public schools to implement Integrated Pest Management for least-toxic pest control and to notify parents and staff prior to sprayed or dusted pesticide applications in facilities or on their<a name=\"CC\"></a> grounds.\r\n<h2>Pesticide-Free Childcare Coalition in Illinois</h2>\r\nHowever,  a large number of licensed childcare centers in Illinois violate the law. Additionally, many childcare centers and public schools may be compliant on paper, but remain in clear violation of the law in practice.\r\n\r\nFor example, four students were sent to the hospital last year after their “compliant” school sprayed herbicides in an interior courtyard during school hours.\r\n\r\nTo address these problems, Midwest Pesticide Action Center, with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, established the Pesticide-Free Childcares Coalition that will work to:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Help childcare facilities understand the health risks of pesticide exposure and to find solutions to increase compliance with Illinois Integrated Pest Management law.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Target childcare centers in at-risk communities, which serve approximately 7,500 infants and children, to reduce the use of toxic chemicals.<span style=\"font-size: 1.17em;\"> </span><span style=\"font-size: 1.17em;\"> </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>For More Information</h3>\r\n<strong>Resource Guide for Integrated Pest Management in School and Childcares:</strong> For information on implementing an Integrated Pest Management program at your school or childcare facility. <a class=\"more\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/MPAC-Resource-Guide-for-IPM-in-Schools-and-Childcares.pdf\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Activist’s Toolkit:</strong> For information on advocating for healthy spaces in your community. <a class=\"more\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ActivistToolkitUpdated.pdf\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Children’s Health</b>: For understanding the risks pesticides pose to children’s health. <a class=\"more\" title=\"Children’s Health\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/the-problem/childrens-health/\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>In Your Community:</strong> For tips on how to make positive change in your community. <a class=\"more\" title=\"In Your Community\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/in-your-community/\">Learn More</a>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"more\" title=\"View all Resources\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/all-resources/\">View all resources</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Photo courtesy of Paul Dailing</em>','Working Toward Environmental Justice','','publish','closed','open','','working-toward-environmental-justice','','','2017-07-27 17:20:53','2017-07-27 17:20:53','',6,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?page_id=225',0,'page','',1),(227,3,'2013-10-01 15:37:33','2013-10-01 15:37:33',' ','','','publish','closed','closed','','227','','','2018-07-26 21:11:37','2018-07-26 21:11:37','',6,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/?p=227',14,'nav_menu_item','',0),(237,3,'2013-10-01 17:02:30','2013-10-01 17:02:30','<h1><a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1500-x-1835-MowingLawn-e1380812811339.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-439\" src=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1500-x-1835-MowingLawn-e1380812811339.jpg\" alt=\"Push Mower\" width=\"499\" height=\"290\" /></a></h1>\r\n<h1>Reducing Climate Impact</h1>\r\nHere in the Midwest, climate change causes warmer temperatures, heavier rainstorms, more frequent and severe droughts, and earlier plant blooms.  These changes make it increasingly difficult to maintain and enjoy our beautiful outdoor spaces.\r\n\r\nHowever, our lawns and gardens are not just victims of climate change: the practices and products we use to maintain our outdoor spaces such as over-watering, fertilizer use, and weed killer applications, all contribute to the production of greenhouse gas emissions.

Midwest Pesticide Action Center is proud to launch a new website to go along with our new name.\r\n\r\nIn June of this year we officially changed our name from Safer Pest Control Project to Midwest Pesticide Action Center. What we haven\'t changed is our mission. We are still committed to reducing the health risks and environmental impacts of pesticides by promoting safer alternatives. You can read more about this change in our <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MPAC_Spring13_Update.pdf\">Spring Update</a>.\r\n\r\nThis fresh, user-friendly website works to advance that mission by providing individuals, communities, and institutions with information on the importance of reducing the use of pesticides and the best ways to take action. In addition, it clearly communicates the scope of our impact and highlights our diverse programs.\r\n\r\nThank you to <a title=\"Strassel Creative\" href=\"http://www.strasselcreative.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Strassel Creative</a> and our Board of Directors for helping us produce a fantastic new resource that helps us communicate the risks of exposure to toxic pesticides.

Midwest Pesticide Action Center has long been actively engaged in the important issue of helping residents that suspect a bed bug infestation not to overuse and misuse pesticides. Our work with the city began in 2010 and culminated in 2011 when we submitted our report, <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/MPAC-Battling-Bed-Bugs.pdf\"><i>Battling Bed Bugs in Chicago: Making the Case for a Comprehensive Plan</i></a>, to the mayor’s office.  This report helped argue the need for a comprehensive bed bug ordinance and provided a foundation upon which the ordinance could be built.\r\n\r\nMidwest Pesticide Action Center worked with the sponsoring Alderman and stakeholders, including organizations and associations representing tenant and landlord/owners’ rights.  Our goal was to elevate the issue of bed bug control in Chicago and promote proper control practices for and slow the spread of bed bugs.  An important component of the ordinance is the requirement that all tenants receive basic education on bed bugs and how to control them.\r\n\r\nThe ordinance requires property owners to provide best- management practices for bed bug control—practices advocated by Midwest Pesticide Action Center. It also outlines responsibilities for tenants and property owners and directs the Department of Public Health to develop a website-based educational campaign with the most current information on effective bed bug control.\r\n\r\nAdditional responsibilities include written notification, inspection, treatment via best practices as outlined by the <a href=\"http://www.pestworld.org/all-things-bed-bugs/best-practices/\">National Pest Management Association</a>, proper disposal practices, and documentation of pest management measures.\r\n\r\nThe City of Chicago has developed a brochure that landlords must distribute to tenants renewing an existing lease or entering into a new lease. It can be found <a href=\"http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/cdph/environmental_health_and_food/BedBugBrochureOct312013.pdf\">here</a>.\r\n\r\nNon-compliance with the ordinance will result in significant fines for property owners that fail to take steps to eradicate bed bug infestations as well as tenants who do not cooperate.\r\n\r\n<strong>Metropolitan Tenants Organization has developed a short overview of the Ordinance which can be found <a title=\"Metropolitan Tenant\'s Organization\" href=\"http://www.tenants-rights.org/chicago-council-passes-bed-bug-ordinance/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</strong>\r\n<strong>View the full ordinance <a href=\"https://chicago.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1255501&amp;GUID=CED19AF3-ADD2-4771-BDDB-04923461D3AC&amp;Options=Advanced&amp;Search=\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>.</strong>\r\n<strong>Learn about proper bed bug control <a title=\"Beat Back Bed Bugs\" href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/what-you-can-do/in-your-home/#BedBugs\">here</a>.</strong>','Chicago\'s Bed Bug Ordinance','','inherit','closed','open','','89-revision-v1','','','2013-11-26 20:34:56','2013-11-26 20:34:56','',89,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/89-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(1211,2,'2013-12-02 21:49:03','2013-12-02 21:49:03','','Rockford 2-5-14 Registration Form','Rockford Beating Back Bed Bugs Form','inherit','closed','open','','rockford-2-5-14-registration-form','','','2013-12-02 21:49:03','2013-12-02 21:49:03','',0,'http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Rockford-2-5-14-Registration-Form.pdf',0,'attachment','application/pdf',0),(1212,2,'2013-12-03 17:52:17','2013-12-03 17:52:17','<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A registration<strong> fee of $60.00</strong> includes light refreshments.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><strong><strong><a href=\"http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/500639\"><img class=\"alignright\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.brownpapertickets.com/g/6/BPT_buy_tickets_large.png\" width=\"182px\" height=\"92px\" border=\"0\" /></a></strong></strong></strong>To register and pay online, visit our <strong><a title=\"Rockford Beating Back Bed Bugs\" href=\"http://bbbbrvc.bpt.me\" target=\"_blank\">Brown Paper Tickets page here</a>.</strong></p>\r\nFor payment with a<strong> Purchase Order</strong> please<strong> <a href=\"http://midwestpesticideaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Rockford-2-5-14-Registration-Form-w-discount.pdf\">download a registration form here</a></strong>, or contact MPAC at (773)878-7378 ext. 204.\r\n\r\n<strong>Rockford-Area Bed Bug Training for Managers of:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Multi-Unit Residential Buildings</li>\r\n	<li>Senior Services</li>\r\n	<li>Dormitories</li>\r\n	<li>Shelters and Transitional Housing</li>\r\n	<li>Client Service Providers, and</li>\r\n	<li>Hospitality Industry</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nTargeted at the managers of facilities, this half-day workshop will address the core issues of bed bug control in a variety of facilities.
