Pest Control in Schools and Childcare Centres
Where children are present, pest control has to be safe first and effective second. Broad chemical spraying is not acceptable around young children, and any treatment programme has to fit the daily rhythm of a school or childcare centre without disrupting it.
What we deal with in education settings
- Cockroaches in kitchens, canteens, staff rooms and bathrooms — the most common issue by a wide margin.
- Ants in sandpits, play areas and classrooms — nesting under paving and in garden beds.
- Wasps and bees in playgrounds — a genuine safety risk in spring and summer.
- Head lice and fleas — while we do not treat children, we treat premises and can advise on facilities.
- Rodents in store rooms, grounds sheds and waste areas.
- Spiders around play equipment and building perimeters.
Keeping it safe around children
- Baiting and gels instead of sprays wherever possible, placed in lockable, tamper-resistant stations that children cannot access.
- Work outside operating hours, so there is no exposure during session time.
- Full documentation — method statements, safety data sheets and a written record of every treatment, which childcare licensing and school audits require.
- Notification support — we can supply the parent and staff notice wording ahead of a visit.
- Strict attention to the child-safe environment — all products stored and applied per label, and areas checked before children return.
Termite and building risks
School and childcare buildings are often older timber structures with a lot of concealed framing. Termite management plans and annual inspections are worth having in place, and we can assess and report on risk across a campus or centre.
