The St. John the Baptist Parish school district is working to resolve communications issues that one board member says have led to unresolved problems with pests in its schools. Board member Albert “Ali” Burl raised concerns about the district’s pest control contract with Tally Pest Control of Kenner at the board’s meeting on Thursday.

“There are over 28 work orders active right now that he hasn’t responded to,” Burl said. “There are work orders since December he hasn’t acted on.”

Burl said the list of problems includes ants and field mice and said he was also concerned about a problem last year at East St. John High School when there were snakes in the buildings.

“I have a principal telling me they’re putting in work orders and they’re not being done,” he said.

But Peter Montz, the district’s purchasing agent, said the problem is one of communication more than service.

“It is the administration’s position that it’s a lack of communication from the contractor,” he said. “He has since provided the administration with his cellphone number and email.”

Montz said the contractor has been reporting problems to the janitorial staff at the schools.

“He was under the impression when he told the custodians what he saw he was informing the district,” Montz said.

However, Montz said, that information never went any further so the problems were never resolved.

Montz said the district has put Tally Pest Control on a 30-day probation period to give the contractor time to resolve the issues. If they are not resolved, his contract could be terminated.

“He’s resolved to provide a higher level of service to the district,” Montz said.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The director of the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority cut a longtime pest control program for hundreds of public housing units in the years before bedbugs invaded Stonequist Apartments, the extermination company’s owner said.

Director Ed Spychalski canceled Staring’s Pest and Rodent Control’s monthly sanitary inspections for cockroaches, ants, bedbugs and insects around the summer of 2009 because he thought the $600 monthly cost could be better spent, owner Thomas Staring said Thursday in an interview.

Staring, 54, said he had never seen a bedbug in the 25 years he had worked in Stonequist, Vanderbilt Terrace and Jefferson Terrace, the city’s three public housing complexes. But Spychalski ended the job in the years after he became director in 2006, Staring said.

“He decided I was no longer needed, that the budget could be spent better,” Staring said when contacted by the Times Union.

Blood-sucking bedbugs arrived at the 176-unit Stonequist tower by July 2011. Complaints from residents that Spychalski did not actively work to rid the apartments of the pests led to revelations that his salary had more than doubled to $152,000 over five years, he hired his daughter, promoted his son, drives at least one authority-owned vehicle, and that authority staff and board members spent more than $57,000 on travel, lodging and job training in 2010 and 2011. Tenants have also alleged that Spychalski has bullied them with threats of eviction.

During a meeting with Mayor Scott Johnson at Stonequist Tuesday, at least three authority residents said that bug control inspections of their homes stopped a few years ago. Vanderbilt resident Stephanie Shean told Johnson that cockroaches and spiders had entered her apartment after Spychalski discontinued the service. Shean, 31, and Pastor Peter Berrios Jr., 55, of Jefferson Terrace, said their leases had included monthly inspections for insects.

“It just got dropped for some reason,” Shean said.

Insects and microorganisms that exist in the environment contribute to the deterioration of various elements in society. Thus, experts from the National Archives of Cuba (ANC) in Havana have been conducted to analyze the indoor air quality and take action.

Research on these issues are hardly discussed in the Latin American region, despite the damage caused by these factors to the documentary and human health, told AIN Flor Ines Casola, specialist institution, one of the oldest the region.

He added that the particular trials are conducted over 10 years, and include the use of domestic natural-cheap, environmentally friendly and renewable, to control pests.

In that sense, he specified, the Cuban experience in its use has allowed import substitution and has been of interest to Latin American nations.

With these practices, began scientific collaboration with other research centers in countries of the region, especially Argentina, Casola said.

He also cited the case of other innovative procedures such as the use of molecular biology and various types of microscopy to the study of microbial biodeterioration special supports, among these, of motion pictures.

Cuban experts have offered advice in Colombia, Equatorial Guinea, Peru, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Mexico, and participated in joint projects in countries like Brazil, Chile, Puerto Rico and Vietnam.

Founded on January 28, 1840, under the name of the General Archive of the Exchequer, was the fifth of these institutions created in Latin America, after those for Argentina (1821), Mexico (1823), Bolivia (1825) and Brazil (1838).
