Educational institutions, from major colleges to small elementary schools, provide pests with an atmosphere that is rich with food, water, and shelter. In the education field, bed bugs, cockroaches, mice, and other rodents are also typical issues.

As bed bugs are drawn to the carbon dioxide and warmth that humans provide, a classroom or lecture hall is an excellent location for them to catch a ride to your house. About the fact that bed bugs can inflict itchy, painful bites, they are not considered to transmit diseases. Bed bugs will necessitate a significant financial commitment to properly enforce extermination steps.

Cockroaches are more likely to infest kitchens / cafeterias and garbage cans in their quest for food. As these insects are so unsanitary, their presence can contaminate food that is otherwise intended for human consumption. Cockroaches can cause and aggravate a wide range of problems, from asthma and allergies to the spread of diseases like salmonella, typhoid fever, and dysentery, once infestations are developed.

Rodents in search of food and a warm place to nest cause widespread damage and put faculty and students’ wellbeing at risk. Since mice gnaw through doors, pipes, and insulation, the establishment becomes a fire hazard. Rodents’ urine and faeces also contaminate entire stocks of food in cafeteria kitchens, as well as spread harmful diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus, leptospirosis, tularemia, and hemorrhagic fever. 

Disinfection has never been more important than it is now, particularly in these uncertain times. With viruses and bacteria being transmitted from outside environments through students and faculty, having a disinfection program in place is a must. Even though janitorial services vacuum, they just clean on the surface and do not disinfect.
