NCT ID NCT06910462
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study works with about 30 family child care home directors in California to see if teaching them integrated pest management (IPM) can cut down on pesticide use and exposure. Directors get education, carpet dust tests, and monthly advice for 7 months. The goal is to lower health risks from pesticides for both children and caregivers.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple, non-chemical pest control methods can lower pesticide risks for children and caregivers in home-based daycares.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It also relies on directors following recommendations, which may not always happen.
