The facilities department at Milton Academy must eradicate wasps nests (yellow-jackets) at seven locations on campus. A qualified technician will apply a pesticide to the nests at these sites. Because the pesticide has an EPA registration number, the Academy is required by statute to notify the community prior to its use.

Locations:
kitchen at Elliott Commons (Millet House kitchen)
stairwell, faculty apartment and restrooms at Wolcott House
porch at Upton House
exterior column at Robert Saltonstall Gymnasium
roof eaves at Brook Drive faculty apartments
Children's Center at Milton Academy
faculty residence at 208 Churchills Lane
