Children, food and grounds make schools and nurseries attractive to pests, and any infestation in a setting full of young children is a safeguarding and reputational issue that must be handled carefully. JG Pest Control provides scheduled commercial pest control contracts for schools and nurseries across the UK, with same-day emergency callouts and cover every day of the year except Christmas Day, from early morning until late.
The pests that target schools and nurseries
From the kitchen to the playing fields, a school offers pests plenty of opportunities. The most common are:
- Mice and rats - they reach kitchens, classrooms and storerooms through grounds and voids.
- Wasps - they build nests in roofs, eaves and play areas that must be removed safely.
- Ants - they trail into kitchens and dining halls in summer.
- Pigeons and gulls - they foul roofs, canopies and play areas.
- Flies - a hygiene issue around kitchens and bins.
Safeguarding and out-of-hours treatment
Pesticide use around children is tightly controlled, so we plan treatments out of hours, in holidays or in cordoned areas, and we provide the risk assessments, method statements and reporting your safeguarding and health and safety duties require.
