The Management and Staff of Riverton Childcare recognise that pests and vermin may become a problem where people congregate due to the creation of food scraps and waste products.

Guidelines

In the very unlikely event of pests or vermin being detected within the boundary of Riverton Childcare, the Manager should be notified immediately.

Traps will be laid for rodents in areas that are off limits to the children attending the centre.

In the case of an infestation of insects a professional "Pest Destruction" company will be contracted to treat the environment with the appropriate methods of extermination.

The Manager will take all reasonable measures as soon as possible to rid the site of any pests or vermin by the appropriate means for the type of pest or vermin involved.
