Spraying usually only prevents fleas, roaches, and termites. Mosquitos come in from the outside as well as spiders. Its much harder to keep them out."

Do you wake up to 38 bug bites? I didnt think so. :roll:

Personally, I wouldn't want Terminex in there every week. That shit is toxic and more so there due to the windows being locked. The kids really should have good air circulation if pesticides are to be used. Check EPA requirements.
There are non-toxic ways to eliminate pests that will not harm the residents health.
There are only two poisonous spiders, brown recluse and black widow. They are both reclusive. The best defense is to frequently check under furniture for egg sacks and vacuum them up, from spring to fall. Check inside your clothes and bedding.
As far as mosquitoes indoors, they don't like wind so a good ceiling fan is a good deterrant.
Roaches, well, that is a sanitation issue, but
Kids should be educated.

I have pest control for my apartment. The little man with the can on his back comes round to every apartment once a month and sprays inside and out.
Never any bugs.
Guess what else.
I dont pay 7000.00 a month for my apartment.
If roaches are a sanitation issue why then is it a problem in the dorms.
Students still cant bring food into the dorms correct?
So where is the problem coming from, if not ths students?
Your response to black widows is the same thing Jim said. Perhaps a more proactive approach would be better.
Spray once a month. 7000.00 a month can afford it.
As well as those ceiling fans you mentioned. Perhaps you could discuss them with Bill Gray. Im sure he'd be open to spending money to place them in every room.

I'm with ya that something should be done. If MY child was there, I'd want the least toxic approach employed. It's my understanding that the windows are locked-can't be opened. BTW, how were ya'll instructed to get out of the building in case of fire?
Yeh, roaches are a product of inadequate cleaning. Stinky clothes, plumbing leaks, etc can also attract them, not just food.
I lived in an apt once and refused to allow the monthly spraying. Never had roaches because I knew how to otherwise deter them. Just didn't want to deal with the health risks.
And the ceiling fans would definitely take care of the mosquito problem while sleeping.
Institutions that warehouse children always have a problem with lice, scabies, and other infectuous diseases, as well as pests.

Right and is the respondsibility of the children or those who warehouse them to take care of the problem?
You bring an interesting point though. There was no fire saftey. And since all the doors were locked from the outside I wonder if that consituted yet another violation?
