Pest Control for Schools & Universities

Schools and universities are home to large numbers of students and staff, storage rooms and study halls, and a surplus of food in cafeterias and lockers. These factors make these educational institutions the perfect environments for pest infestations. Rodents such as rats and mice can make their homes inside schools, causing structural damage and carrying in dirt and disease. Outdoors, rodents such as moles and voles can burrow underneath school lawns and gardens, killing plant life and ruining property appearance. Bug pests such as ants, mosquitoes, bed bugs, dust mites, lice, termites, cockroaches, and more can also cause structural damage and pose major human health risks. To make matters worse, conventional pest treatment methods can pose additional hazardous risks for people and plants alike, making pest control on school grounds a bit of a lose-lose. Thankfully, there is an alternative.

Here at EcoClear Products, we are proud to offer a comprehensive selection of eco-friendly, highly-effective pest control products designed to control a wide range of pests on residential and commercial properties. Fast-acting and easy-to-use, our non-toxic pest control products are perfect for universities and other school environments. On this page, we discuss pest prevention and control for school properties, providing information on specific pests, prevention tips, the unique pest control challenges presented by schools, and resources on our very own pest control products. Read on to learn more, and take care of pests in your school today!

Common Places With Pest Problems in Schools

The overall density of humanity, as well as the ready availability of food and shelter, make schools the ideal environments for pests of all kinds. Dining halls, kitchens, food storage areas, cafeterias, and trash receptacles all have food that can attract and feed rodent and bug pests. Supply closets, crawl spaces, paneled ceilings, and other less-trafficked areas in schools are the perfect homes for the pests — especially rodents, which like to hide away and nest.

Inversely, the highly-trafficked areas of schools often serve as the main gateways for pests to enter school in the first place. Bug pests such as lice, mites, and bed bugs often enter schools on the backs of students of staff members. Pests can also crawl inside schools through open doors, open windows, and holes in the roof, walls, or foundation. Read on to learn how you can prevent pest infestations from taking hold in your school.

Preventing Rodents and Other Pests in Schools

Though there are a number of factors that contribute to the presence of pests in schools, there are also a number of steps the school administrations can take to prevent pests on their school grounds. These steps include:

  • Keeping food put away and securely stored
  • Keeping class pets and their food cleaned up at all times
  • Removing garbage from classrooms on a daily basis
  • Cleaning fridges and freezers regularly
  • Closing doors to the outside whenever possible
  • Staying up-to-date on building inspections and repairs
  • Educating students and staff on pest prevention best practices

Pest Control in Schools: The Problematic Risks of Common Pesticides

The presence of pests at a school is not only a distraction for students and staff, but also can spread harmful bacteria. When dealing with a pest infestation, proper control measures are crucial to avoid the common hazards of pesticides. No matter the treatment method, there is always some degree of risk involved when using common pesticides. Pesticides have the potential of causing health effects such as damage to nervous, hormonal and other systems. Using pesticides in a school environment is particularly precarious because children may be especially vulnerable to the toxic health effects because their bodies are still growing and developing. While the level of toxicity may vary from pesticides, there is no guaranteed way to eliminate the hazardous risks associated with chemical treatments. With EcoClear Products, those risks are all but eliminated.
