  40. Discussion questions What design/construction tactics have you used to successfully prevent pest problems? We’d like your ideas about what should be added to these guidelines. One of our next steps is to add these guidelines to the LEED green building standards. What thoughts do you have about that approach?

  41. More discussion questions Where do you go to learn how to do home repairs? Where would you go to purchase the materials you saw today? Do you discuss pest management with your building/renovation contractors? What do you think would drive demand for pest-proofing during the design phase of building?
