Pest control strategy
We aim to reduce the negative impact of pests on administration, teaching and research activities while preserving the diversity and natural balance of animal life, and restricting pesticide use.
Good housekeeping
- Regular cleaning reduces the build up of materials that may provide food or shelter to pests
- Ensure that food scraps are placed in the allocated bins in kitchen areas and lunch rooms
- Efficient waste management, including clearing waste daily.
Regular monitoring
- Academic & Professional staff are to report sightings of pests or indications that pests are present.
- Cleaners are also required to report sightings of pest or pest droppings
