PEST CONTROL SOLUTIONS FOR SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOL, AND COLLEGES

Keep Your Campus Pest-Free

Managing a school comes with daily challenges and unexpected variables, leaving no room for disruptions caused by pests or ineffective pest control providers. Flies, ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rodents, and birds can carry harmful diseases that threaten the health of students, staff, and visitors. These pests can hide in various areas, including lockers, classrooms, cafeterias, gyms, and exterior spaces like dumpsters, athletic fields, and landscaping. School buses also present unique challenges, as they can transport pests from various locations.

Although summer months mean fewer students on campus, this is when pests thrive and multiply. Maintaining a pest-free environment requires proactive measures, such as educating staff and students about pest prevention, restricting food consumption to designated areas, sealing cracks and openings, regularly cleaning interior and exterior school grounds, and positioning dumpsters away from school buildings. By implementing these strategies, schools can minimize pest infestations and create a safer, healthier learning environment for everyone.
