Pests in Educational Centers

At Gimasur Ambiental, we offer services for any type of pest, creating a specialized treatment plan for pest control in institutes and educational centers, primarily based on prevention, since almost all biocides are restricted in such sensitive spaces with the presence of students.

Our experts will advise you on what measures to take to maintain adequate pest control and prevent their entry. Additionally, they will help you detect any early signs of pests before they become a serious problem, allowing you to act in time.

Pest control in institutes is carried out against:

• Rodents(Rats and mice): They are very harmful and dangerous as they can gnaw on all types of materials causing serious damage and transmit multiple diseases, which is why prevention and pest control in institutes, nurseries, and educational centers is always essential. They are abundant in gardens, public sanitation, garbage areas, and can take refuge in false ceilings or storage areas.
• Prevention and Legionella control: All Educational Centers are obliged to comply with Royal Decree 865/2003, which establishes the hygienic-sanitary criteria for the prevention and control of legionellosis. Legionella is a bacterium that lives in water. The presence of domestic hot water tanks (ACS) and the Cold Water for Human Consumption (AFCH) network for sinks and showers creates ideal conditions for the proliferation and transmission of legionella.
• Pine Processionary: These insects are caterpillars covered with stinging hairs, which pose a health risk as they cause severe skin irritations in children at schools. Therefore, it is one of the pests in educational centers that must be controlled beforehand to avoid its dangerous consequences.
• Red Palm Weevil: This beetle affects palm trees, as the larvae enter the trunk and begin to feed until, in a few months, the palm tree inevitably dies if a phytosanitary treatment is not carried out in time. In parks and gardens, it can cause tree falls.
• Birds (Pigeons, Parakeets, Starlings, Seagulls): in an educational center, it is a serious problem as they produce a large amount of droppings, which are dangerous for humans as they transmit many diseases and are carriers of fleas and ticks.
• Insects: Flies, mosquitoes, and wasps, among others, which can contaminate food, bother students, and therefore affect the image of the Educational Center. We have insect traps and insect killers that you can purchase in our online store.
