Back-to-School Pest Tips for Dorms and Student Housing

As students move back into dorms and off-campus apartments, the risk of pest problems rises. High turnover, shared living spaces, and increased clutter can create ideal conditions for pests like bed bugs, cockroaches, ants, and even rodents. These pests not only spread quickly through multi-unit housing but also pose health risks and can be difficult to eliminate once established. Early prevention and awareness are key to avoiding disruptive infestations during the school year.

To reduce the likelihood of pest in dorms and student housing, encourage students to maintain clean living areas, store food in sealed containers, and report pest sightings right away. Property managers should also schedule regular inspections and pest control services to stay ahead of potential outbreaks.
