Educational Facilities We Serve
Integrated Pest Management for Learning Environments
Schools combine everything pests look for: cafeterias, lunchboxes in lockers, classroom snacks, gymnasium storage, portable buildings, and long breaks when buildings sit quiet. They also serve the people most sensitive to pest activity and to how pest problems are handled, which is why most districts follow an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.
IPM puts inspection, sanitation, and exclusion first and uses targeted treatments only where monitoring shows a need. Romex school programs follow that model, coordinate with your district IPM coordinator, and schedule work when students are not in the building.
Pests Schools Deal With Most
Cockroaches
Cafeteria kitchens, dish rooms, and teacher lounges are the main hot spots. Gel baits placed in cracks and equipment voids address them without treating open surfaces.
Mice
Mice move into classrooms where snacks are stored and into storage rooms with paper and gym mats. Exclusion of entry points around doors, pipes, and portables is the long-term fix.
Ants and fire ants
Ants trail into classrooms along window frames, while fire ant mounds on playgrounds and athletic fields create sting risks. Fields can be treated on a schedule that keeps them out of use until the product has dried.
Wasps and bees
Nests under eaves, in playground equipment, and in bleachers are removed outside of school hours, with follow-up checks during warm months.
How a Romex Service Program Works
- 1
Campus inspection
A licensed Romex technician walks the entire building — exterior perimeter, loading or service entries, mechanical rooms, restrooms, break areas, and storage — to document current activity, entry points, and conditions that attract pests.
- 2
IPM plan with your coordinator
We document thresholds, monitoring locations, and approved treatment methods, and align the plan with your district IPM policy and notification requirements.
- 3
Monitoring-first service
Visits focus on checking monitors, recording sanitation and structural issues, and treating only where activity is confirmed — scheduled for evenings, weekends, or breaks.
- 4
Records for the district
Every visit is logged with findings, products, and locations so your IPM coordinator has the records they need. If pests return between scheduled visits, Romex re-treats at no additional charge.
Documentation & Compliance
- Service logs with pests found, products used, and application locations

Frequently Asked Questions
When do you treat schools?
Treatments are scheduled when students are not present — evenings, weekends, and school breaks. Licensed technicians use EPA-registered products applied according to label directions, and any treated area stays closed until dry as the label requires.
Do you follow school IPM requirements?
Yes. Our school programs are built on IPM: inspection, monitoring, sanitation and exclusion first, with targeted treatment only when monitoring shows it is needed. We work with your IPM coordinator on notification and record-keeping.
Do you service daycares and private schools too?
Yes. Romex serves public districts, private and charter schools, colleges, and daycare centers with the same monitoring-first approach scaled to the size of the facility.
Can you handle fire ants on athletic fields?
Yes. Field treatments are timed around practice and game schedules, and areas stay out of use until dry. All-natural options are available for some applications — ask your technician.
