Education is an essential component of effective urban IPM programs. With respect to termites, individual property owners must be sufficiently knowledgeable to make informed decisions on which measures would be most effective in their particular situation to prevent termite attack and mitigate any existing infestations. We have developed and implemented an educational/outreach program in Hawaii using the public schools as windows into local communities. Objectives were to enhance community awareness of termite problems and management options, and achieve wider implementation by homeowners of effective techniques of termite prevention and control; and to increase the baseline knowledge of effective termite management in the next generation of Hawaii homeowners. To facilitate implementation in the public schools, we developed elementary and intermediate school curricula meeting the state standards for science education, and implemented teacher workshops meeting Hawaii Department of Education certification requirements for professional development credits. Simultaneously, community workshops on termite management were offered at night through adult education offices in each school district. Beneficial corollaries of this program have been increased interest in and knowledge of entomology and biology on the part of both students and teachers, and a positive impact on termite prevention and control in the public schools themselves. To date, we have implemented our curricula in over 60 classrooms in over two dozen public schools. Our goal is a sustainable state-wide educational program that will require minimal external input to survive and thrive in Hawaii’s classrooms and communities.
