Why Pest Control Is Essential in Educational Settings

Schools and universities are particularly vulnerable to pest activity due to:

  • High foot traffic, shared spaces and multiple buildings

  • Food service areas, such as canteens, cafeterias, and student kitchens

  • Dormitories and common rooms, where food and waste accumulate

  • Large outdoor spaces like sports fields, playgrounds, and courtyards

  • Stored books, supplies and equipment, which attract rodents and insects

Pests can spread bacteria, trigger allergies, cause property damage, and lead to failed hygiene inspections. A reliable pest management plan is crucial to ensure student safety and uninterrupted learning.
