Proper cleaning of an educational facility and keeping the surrounding environment clean, healthy, and safe requires more than just cleaning. One of the most overlooked, yet important, elements of campus cleanliness is pest control. Whether it is a school in Trivandrum or a college in Kollam, failure to adequately control pests can have negative impacts on student safety, faculty productivity, and the institution’s image overall.
Let’s take a look at why pest control is necessary for schools and colleges in Kerala and how PCCS India can help your campus to be clean, safe, and free of pest control issues.
Pest Control and Educational Facilities
Kerala‘s climate is ideal for snakes in many pests, such as ants, rodents, mosquitoes, and termites, in some areas. It is important to remember that these insects are more than just one insect; they can have a serious impact on your faculty, security, health and nutrition with the following possibilities:
- Rodent’s allergy and respiratory reaction to hair or cockroaches
- contaminated food in canteens and/or hostels
- structural damage by rodents or pests like termites
- Mosquito-borne human diseases like dengue and chikungunya
- Disruption to teaching and learning in classrooms and, importantly, in administrative areas
When students and staff are distracted or sick and missing class as a result, the whole educational environment is detrimentally affected.
Pest Management Issues in Schools & Colleges
In Kerala, educational institutions face some different and unique challenges in terms of pest management:
- Large open campuses, with gardens and trees – no shortage of nesting sites
- Frequent food preparation in students hostels and canteens
- Movement of students from various parts of the campus
- Inefficient, old buildings that are often poorly maintained; cracked walls and entry points
Without intervention, the above can contribute to widespread pest infestations that are increasingly difficult to manage.

Clean Campus Tips

- Keep food areas clean, including no waste left behind.
- Repair leaking pipes and drains to avoid attracting pests.
- Seal cracks, gaps and entry points
- Store food and supplies in proper containers.
- Educate students and staff about hygiene practices.
Combining professional pest management with these practices leads to a cleaner and safer learning environment.
