Downloadable Social Media Asset for outreach use with suggested post text.
Schools and daycare facilities bring children together in close quarters, introducing opportunities for common pests to spread or hitch a ride home. Head lice are one of the most common back-to-school pest concerns, spreading through head-to-head contact or sharing of hats, brushes, or hair ties between classmates. Household pests like ants and cockroaches are also attracted to food debris left in backpacks and lunch bags, making it important to clean them out regularly.
Staying aware of these common pest risks and knowing the signs of an infestation can help keep your family and home protected.
