Custodial Services provides athletic game and Convocation support cleanliness. In the residence halls and towers Custodians clean common areas, suite lobbies, and restrooms. In apartments, team members clean laundry rooms and exterior hallways and provide toilet paper for student's use.
Pest Control
Our beautiful campus is nestled in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, which is home to wildlife such as mountain lions, mice, rats, rabbits, skunks and raccoons. Because of our location, the presence of pests is inevitable.
To prevent infestations:
- Avoid leaving food out at night
- Don't leave dishes in the sink overnight
- Keep your space tidy and empty trash frequently
- Don't prop open outer doors for long periods
In addition to our Custodial Staff, who typically respond within the same day to provide pest control service, the University has a vendor who provides pest management services. Exterminators, on a regular basis, check for pests in all campus spaces. The exterminators report to the Department of Agriculture and adhere to earth-friendly pest management standards. Additional information is available at Poison Free Malibu.
