How Good Earth Pest Company Keeps Childcare Facilities Safe and Pest-Free

• Rodents: Droppings or gnaw marks on furniture, toys, or food storage areas.
• Cockroaches and Ants: Sightings in kitchens, bathrooms, or near snack areas.
• Flies: Increased fly activity around trash cans, outdoor areas, or kitchen spaces.

A clean, pest-free environment is vital for both health and reputation in childcare centers. Here’s why pest control matters:

• Health and Safety: Pests can introduce bacteria, allergens, and viruses, posing health risks to children and staff.
• Parent Peace of Mind: Parents expect a safe, hygienic environment for their children. A pest-free facility builds trust and confidence.
• Regulatory Compliance: Many state and local regulations require strict pest control standards for childcare centers.
• Protecting Learning and Play Spaces: Pests can damage furniture, toys, and other important equipment, impacting daily activities.

Pay attention to these indicators to avoid larger pest problems:

• Droppings or Chewed Items: Rodent droppings or damage near storage areas, snack zones, or play spaces.
• Insect Activity: Cockroaches or ants appearing around floors, cabinets, or bathrooms.
• Increased Fly Activity: Flies near garbage cans, kitchens, or outdoor play areas.

Good Earth uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to create a child-safe, long-term pest prevention strategy:

• Exclusion: We offer services to identify and seal entry points, including windows, doors, attics and crawlspaces.
• Sanitation and Food Storage Recommendations: We provide guidance to keep classrooms, snack areas, and kitchens clean and pest-free.
• Monitoring and Inspections: We place monitors in high-risk areas and conduct regular inspections to catch any early signs of pest activity.

Along with professional pest control, these simple tips can help keep pests out:

• Proper Food Storage: Store snacks and food items in airtight containers, and clean up spills immediately.
• Trash Management: Use sealed trash cans and empty them frequently, especially in snack and diaper disposal areas.
• Seal Entry Points: Check windows, doors, and vents for gaps and keep them properly sealed.
