Housing & Residential Services staff make every effort to keep the residence halls pest free, however residents can do their part by:
- Reporting pest concerns through Atlas.
- Keeping all food in sealed containers made out of plastic, metal or glass
- Maintaining their rooms in sanitary condition (i.e. removing trash on a regular basis, limiting clutter, etc.)
- Disposing of or storing all open containers of food or leftovers immediately following consumption
Bed Bugs
If a resident suspects there are bedbugs in their room, they should report it IMMEDIATELY to the house operations manager. The house operations manager will contact an exterminator to investigate what insects are present and determine what treatment is needed. They will also advise residents on what steps they should take to ensure any insects do not remain in their belongings.
Housing & Residential Services will inspect all rooms above, below, and to either side of the affected apartment or student room to ensure the problem is contained.
