Professional School Pest Control and Other Services For Your Educational Institution

From the large-scale universities to the local elementary schools, educational institutions provide pests with an environment that has easily available food, water, and shelter. Bed bugs, cockroaches, rats, and other rodents are also common problems for the education sector.

How Orkin Canada Provides Professional Pest Control For Schools

The Orkin Canada approach is both industry leading and effective. Our expert Orkin Canada technicians create a customised plan tailored to meet the needs of your school facilities.

Step 1: Assess

Your Orkin Canada technician will thoroughly inspect all areas of your institution. These areas can include break room areas, cafeterias/food service areas, classrooms, kitchens and storage areas.

When your school pest control specialist has completed the inspection, you will receive a thorough report that outlines any potential pest hotspots, as well as a personalized treatment plan.

Step 2: Implement

Once your Orkin Canada technician finds a pest infestation in your school/educational institution, they will implement treatment solutions designed to efficiently control the pest population.

Once these treatment methods are implemented, your Orkin Canada technician ensures that expert care is taken. This additional care focuses on targeting the specific pest population within your institution, while also preventing/avoiding any contamination to any food products or environments where staff and student may be present.

Step 3: Monitor

Once your school pest control specialist has implemented the treatment plan, they will monitor the situation and make any adjustments to the pest control program to ensure that the pest population in your educational facility has been effectively controlled.

Common Pests That May Infest Schools & Other Educational Institutions

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs attracted to the carbon dioxide and warmth that humans emit, which makes a classroom or lecture hall a great place to hitch a ride to your home. Although bed bugs may cause itchy, irritating bites, they are not known to spread diseases. The presence of bed bugs can mean a major financial investment to properly implement extermination measures.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are most likely to infest cafeteria kitchens, restaurants, and trash cans in search of any food they can find. Since these insects are very unsanitary, their presence can lead to widespread contamination of food that is otherwise meant for human consumption. Once infestations are established, cockroaches can be responsible for causing and aggravating a whole host of issues from asthma and allergies to spreading diseases like salmonella, typhoid fever, and dysentery.

Rodents

Rodents like rats and mice looking for food and a warm place to nest cause widespread destruction and risk the health of faculty and students. As rodents gnaw through walls, wires and insulation, this makes your institution a fire risk. Rodents also contaminate entire stores of food in cafeteria kitchens with their urine and feces, along with also transmitting dangerous pathogens like salmonella, hantavirus, leptospirosis, tularemia and hemorrhagic fever.

Common Educational Facilities That May Be Susceptible To Pest Infestations

  • Post Secondary Institutions (Colleges & Universities)
  • Primary & Secondary Schools (High Schools, Middle Schools & Elementary Schools)
  • Early Learning and Childcare Education Centres (Preschools, Daycares, Montessoris, Child Care Centres)
  • Tutoring and Learning Centres
