School pest control in Oregon
Is your IPM plan due for readoption?
Oregon’s 2025 school IPM law has every district review and readopt its plan. We run the kind of program the law asks for: inspection, monitoring, bait stations, sealed entry points and clean records.

Who the law covers
Public schools and early learning programs
Public and private K–12 schools, education service districts, community colleges, Head Start programs and Preschool Promise providers. For many districts the readoption date is Jan 1, 2027.
Where it starts
What goes wrong on a school campus
The three problems we see most, and where each one starts.
Mice and rats
Where it starts: kitchens, cafeterias and storage rooms, where food and boxes sit overnight.
Ants
Where it starts: classrooms with snacks, following the foundation in from outside.
Yellowjackets
Where it starts: fields, playgrounds and trash cans in late summer and fall.
Every visit
What we do on every visit
No routine spraying. Oregon’s school IPM law rules it out, so the program is built on these instead.
-
Inspect buildings and grounds, inside and out
-
Monitor with traps and stations so problems show up early
-
Place bait stations where pests feed
-
Seal the gaps pests use to get in
-
Write up sanitation findings for your custodial team
-
Low-impact products only, outside a declared pest emergency
-
Visits timed for when students are out
Have your own licensed staff?
Some districts run IPM in house. We can take overflow, sealing work and record-keeping off your crew’s plate.
Records your coordinator can use
After every visit you get a dated report: what we checked, what we found, what we did and what we used. It’s written so your IPM coordinator can drop it straight into the plan.
- Covers the records a district keeps under ORS 634.750
- Photos of what we found, right in the report
- Sent the same day, ready to forward to your board
How it starts
- A technician walks your campus. It’s free. We look at buildings and grounds before we quote anything.
- You get a written proposal. Scope, visit schedule and what’s included, in writing.
- Service starts on your schedule. Visits timed for when students are out of the building.
Your walk-through is done by a Bug Zapper technician, not a salesperson.

What public and business customers say
“Bug Zapper went above and beyond to help… They were priced fairly, showed up on time, stayed longer when needed, and were great at communicating! They listened to our needs as a community and jumped right in to solve our problem. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!”
City of Elkton
