42. 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?

43. 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?
