SCHOOL PEST CONTROL SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT
Safety, Communication and Prevention Come First
Classrooms aren’t warehouses.
Play areas aren’t loading docks.
School kitchens, cafeterias, lockers, storage rooms and playgrounds each create different considerations.
Hollenbeck has earned QualityPro Schools certification, which requires additional training and standards for pest management in educational environments.
Schools & Day Care ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Catching a mouse doesn’t necessarily explain how it entered. Hollenbeck evaluates rodent activity along with potential access points around the structure.
Protect your business from unwanted ant and cockroach infestations. Our targeted treatments address existing pest activity while helping prevent future infestations in commercial buildings and shared spaces.
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers and can remain concealed in very small spaces. We provide professional inspection and bed bug treatment designed around the extent of the infestation.
Wasps, hornets, yellowjackets and other stinging insects become a serious nuisance when nests are located around entrances, decks, walkways or other places people regularly use.
Exterior Tick & Mosquito Programs
Make your commercial outdoor spaces more comfortable with targeted tick and mosquito treatments. Our recurring programs focus on high-risk areas around your property to help reduce pest populations throughout the season.
Overgrown landscaping and vegetation can create ideal conditions for pests. We identify and address pest-prone areas around your property, helping reduce harborage sites and minimize pest activity near your facility.

Prevention Works Better Than Emergency Pest Control During the School Day
A rodent sighting during lunch immediately becomes more complicated.
A wasp nest near a playground is different from one in an unused corner of a commercial property.
Bed bugs brought into a classroom require calm identification and communication—not stigma.
Educational pest management must account for children, schedules, staff and the sensitive nature of the environment.
Cafeterias Need Food-Service Thinking
Food delivery, kitchens, spills and waste management create restaurant-like conditions inside a school.
Lockers and Storage Areas Need Inspection
Spaces that remain undisturbed can conceal activity.
Outdoor Areas Matter
Playgrounds, athletic areas and building perimeters can experience stinging insects, ticks, mosquitoes, rodents and wildlife.
Communication Prevents Overreaction
A pest sighting should trigger an established procedure so administration knows who to call and what information to collect.
Schools & Day Care Pest ControlFAQs
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them?
Sprays may kill visible worker ants without eliminating the colony responsible for the activity. If the nest remains active, additional ants can continue appearing.
What ants are common in the Hudson Valley?
Several ant species can become problems around Hudson Valley properties, including carpenter ants, pavement ants, and other common household ants. Proper identification is important because treatment strategies can vary by species.
Are carpenter ants dangerous to my home?
Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites, but they excavate wood to create nesting galleries. Established colonies inside structural wood can cause damage over time and may be associated with moisture problems.
How can I tell the difference between carpenter ants and termites?
Carpenter ants and termites differ in appearance and behavior. Carpenter ants excavate wood for nesting, while termites consume cellulose. Because both can indicate a potentially serious pest issue, professional identification is recommended.
Do you treat ants inside and outside?
Yes. Depending on the infestation, ant control may involve interior activity, exterior nesting areas, entry points, or a combination of treatments.
Does Hollenbeck offer ongoing ant prevention?
Yes. Hollenbeck offers preventative service plans covering more than 30 standard pests for customers who want ongoing protection.
