BASF Professional & Specialty Solutions
Public and Educational Buildings
There are many challenges associated with preventing pests from interrupting the smooth running of public institutions, because of health concerns or damage to the premises. An integrated pest management strategy based on BASF treatment solutions helps protect members of the public and staff.
Usual issues
Multiple environments
Schools, universities, town halls, government offices, prisons and other public buildings pose particular challenges in terms of effective pest control. They usually occupy a large area and are often spread across a number of different buildings. They also offer a wide range of premises: school rooms, office space, public areas, dining halls, sports facilities and, in some cases, accommodation too. In other words, public buildings offer pests multiple points of entry to the various facilities and also provide them with ample sources of food, water and shelter.
Safety, hygiene and comfort
Public buildings should be clean, safe and welcoming places for everyone. Unfortunately, the practicalities of preventing pests from accessing premises and facilities can be quite complicated in large multi-faceted sites. And the thousands of people who enter public buildings every day can also contribute to the problem, by introducing pests without realising it.

Benefits to use BASF products
Prevention, proofing and treatment
Pest control operators contracted to work in sensitive areas such as schools implement a range of prevention and proofing measures. However, when an infestation does occur, trained professionals need to use products they can rely on to provide fast and complete relief from pests. For many pest controllers, BASF rodenticides and insecticides are key tools for the effective control of serious infestations.
Integrated pest management
Facilities managers in complex and large sites that host a large number of people know that pest management is an essential element of the overall maintenance and sanitation strategy. BASF pest control solutions offer a high level of efficacy, even at low doses , which is especially important in sensitive environments. Combined with prevention and monitoring procedures, they help facilities management teams keep on top of any emerging pest problems.
