Prevention & Solutions
Educational Facilities
Pests find homes in many unique locations throughout a school building and campus where pests prosper.
Educational facilities can include residential halls, gyms, locker rooms, classrooms and cafeterias where you need an experienced pest management company familiar with each type of building.nEcologic Entomology is an expert in pest prevention and control in every area of an educational facility.
Pests in your School, University or College Campus.
Prevention
Our experienced team relies on proven results using our Integrated Pest Management Plan for pest prevention for all sizes of campuses and all levels of possible infestation. Educational facilities are very complex as we take pride with limiting the amount of product applied for positive results. We identify, educate and execute detailed preventive measures with school personnel to remove stagnate food and water sources which limit the amount of products applied.
Our team could recommend preventive measures such as:
- Securing or relocating dumpsters away from buildings
- Identifying leaking pipes and sealing suspect cracks and crevices
- Restricting where food is eaten and maintaining proper sanitation techniques
- Inspect and identify where sanitation can be improved in food prep & serving areas
- Cleaning gutters addressing landscaping overgrowth
- Most of all Educate school person ell on overall pest prevention awareness
With these measures in place we are confident you will see positive results in a short time frame. Our experienced technicians will apply advanced techniques to minimize health risks to your students, staff and environment.
Problematic Pests
There are several pests generally found within a educational facility, unfortunately this list of pests covers a lot of territory as you would expect given the complexity of a campus. Educational facilities have experienced common regular pests such as ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, lice, mosquitoes and rodents, stinging insects among many others.
School and university campuses could include classrooms, residential halls, multiple food services locations and with the expected high traffic, you will find it difficult to eliminate pests walking right through your front door. We are confident we can reduce your risks of infestations through education and consistently executed preventive measures.
Building Risks
This is where it gets interesting. On a typical school or university campus there are lots of moving parts and places for pests to gain entry and hide. Our experienced technicians know where they hide and how we can prevent large scale attacks. We systematically move from building to building and room to room while observing and taking notes on at risk areas.
Areas which are high risks include classrooms, cafeterias, lockers, gyms and locker rooms, dumpsters, building conduit, plumping, HVAC landscapes and most importantly humans. We can put many preventive measures in place but we cannot predict human behavior. We can help manage human behavior through education and providing natural ways to reduce pest food sources.
Why Call Us?
Homeowners and business owners are being barraged with offers from nefarious pest control companies trying to sell “comprehensive” service programs for a “low” monthly fee. Paying a monthly fee for home pest control services is nonsense. You wouldn’t pay an electrician, plumber, or carpenter for work you might need in the future. Pay for pest control services when, and if, you need them. Next time a salesman asks you to sign up for monthly fees, ask him how long he’s been subscribing.
The truth is, most pest problems can be prevented, many times without the use of pesticides. Admittedly, there are parts of the country that do require more aggressive pest management strategies, but the northeast is very different. Climate, weather, and differences in construction practices are important factors that drive the risk-potential for pests. Most homes will benefit from an annual inspection, and where problems are identified, a prescribed treatment that addresses the root cause.
