The presence of pests in schools, such as bed bugs, ticks, or disease vectors like mosquitoes, can seriously affect the health of both students and teachers. Insect pests can spread harmful bacteria, as well as aggravate illnesses such as asthma. Therefore, an efficient pest control is essential to providing a safe learning environment.

Indoor areas : classrooms, rest areas & kitchens

• Mosquitoes in the school facilities can result in a very uncomfortable guest experience and the potential contraction of the Dengue or Zika virus.
• Bed Bugs hitchhike to school from an infested home by hiding in a student’s clothing or backpack. Then they could be carried home by another student, making the school a potential hub for bed bug spread. This is not a minor concern – bed bugs are very expensive and difficult to eradicate.
• Ants, beetles and cockroaches can damage and contaminate any surface they touch, especially food. Cockroaches can even spread disease because of the filth they carry with them.
• Flies can easily enter kitchens and eating areas through doors and windows and are a sign of uncleanliness.

Outdoor areas

The tropical climate create perfect breeding conditions for pests.

• Mosquitoes are the most common issue outside and pose a risk to children, students and employees of such viruses as Dengue and Zika.
• Cockroaches and flies often thrive in the immediate surroundings : around waste sites and drainage systems. Living in these unsanitary areas means these pests pick up bacteria and disease, which they can then carry into your facilities.
