Of course, there are many factors that contribute to a school’s physical safety. One of the key factors is a safe an effective pest control program.

Pests can enter any building through doorways, windows, openings and even the smallest cracks and crevices. This means schools can be susceptible to pest infestations due to frequently opened doors and the large number of people coming in and out.
Many types of pests can create significant infestations very quickly. By the time the pests are noticed, there could be many more – even hundreds hiding nearby. These infestations can sometimes be tricky to identify, requiring professional knowledge and experience.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), these pests can be a concern to schools:
The EPA also says that school properties have many areas that can be attractive to pests, including cafeterias, classrooms, lockers, gyms, dumpsters, athletic fields, and buses, among other areas.
In addition to attributing to unhygienic conditions and potential structural property damage, pest infestations can cause school scheduling and operational interruptions and delays.
Pest invasions may also violate regulations and health codes that schools must follow. Pest control professionals with experience in treating school facilities should be familiar with the guidelines for federal agency and local health code compliance regarding pest control and have systems in place to help with the required reporting.
