Pest control for schools and childcare in Perth
Pest control scheduled around term dates and student safety, with low-toxicity options and documentation for compliance requirements.
School and childcare pest control built around student safety
Pest control on a school or childcare site carries a higher duty of care than most commercial properties, treatment needs to work around children, staff, and often strict scheduling windows outside of contact hours. Elite Pest Control provides low-toxicity treatment options and documentation suited to educational and childcare settings.
What schools and childcare centres need
Schools and childcare centres don't get the same pest control as a home or an office, and shouldn't. Here's what has to be right before treatment even starts.
-
Low-toxicity and non-toxic options
prioritised wherever the treatment allows
-
Scheduling around term dates and contact hours
treating during holidays or after hours where possible
-
Documentation for compliance
including Safety Data Sheets for any chemical used
-
Termite inspection
particularly important for older school buildings, many of which are timber structures at real risk of undetected damage
-
Food area treatment aligned to Food Standards Code 3.2.2
for any site with a canteen or food preparation area
Services for schools and childcare
From canteen compliance to termite checks on older buildings, here's what's covered for schools and childcare sites.
Non-Toxic Pest Control
Perth's warm climate keeps pest activity high for much of the year, which means many households are weighing up ongoing pest control against the amount of chemical use they're comfortable with. Non-toxic options mean that trade-off doesn't have to mean leaving a pest problem untreated.
Termites
Termites cause millions of dollars in damage to Australian homes every year, most of it not covered by insurance, and much of the damage happens before it's ever detected. Elite Pest Control treats active infestations, protects new builds before the slab is poured, and inspects established homes and properties before settlement.
Pest Control
Perth's warm climate keeps most common pests active for a large part of the year, and slab homes, paved gardens, and roof void spaces all give pests plenty of places to establish undetected. For businesses, an untreated pest problem can also mean a compliance issue, particularly for food handling, retail, and office environments.
Food & Hospitality
Pest management for restaurants, cafes and food businesses, aligned to the Food Act 2008 (WA) and HACCP principles.
How it works
Site assessment
Buildings, grounds, and any food preparation areas are reviewed for current activity and risk.
Scheduling around the site
Treatment planned for holidays, after hours, or whatever window minimises contact with children and staff.
Low-toxicity treatment prioritised
Baiting and physical barrier methods used wherever they're effective for the pest involved.
Documentation
Service records and SDS documentation provided for the site's compliance and safety records.
Pricing for school pest control
School and childcare pest control is priced per site, depending on the number of buildings, grounds size, and scheduling frequency. Onsite quoting is obligation free.

Suzanne and the team at Elite Pest Control have been looking after my Wilson property for several years now. I had the Termite Barrier installed a few years ago and all of the technicians are fantastic to deal with for my annual check-up. Thanks again for looking after my home and giving me peace of mind :)
