Why Umhlanga Schools Need Regular Pest Control
Schools have more food, people and hiding places than most buildings, and Umhlanga’s growth has brought many new families to the area.
- A growing area Umhlanga’s population grew by over half between 2001 and 2011, and new schools and creches have followed.
- Lunchboxes and bins Food waste attracts cockroaches, ants and rats every day.
- Large grounds Gardens and fields give pests plenty of shelter.
- Coastal climate Humidity keeps insects active most of the year.
We work with schools and creches across Umhlanga Ridge, Umhlanga Rocks and La Lucia.

Reducing Pest Risk in Umhlanga Schools and Creches
Small changes in how food and waste are handled make a big difference on a busy site.
- Set rules for food in classrooms Lunchbox crumbs and snacks in desks draw ants and cockroaches. A rule about where food is eaten helps.
- Empty bins every day Classroom and playground bins should be emptied daily, with lids on outdoor bins.
- Look after tuck shops and kitchens Food preparation areas need daily cleaning and sealed storage.
- Check stores over holidays Stockrooms, sports sheds and storerooms that sit closed for weeks are where rodents settle in.
- Tell us about sensitive areas Let us know about creche rooms and sick bays so we can plan treatment around them.
A treatment each term, timed for the holidays, keeps most schools under control.
