Learning at Machakos Primary School was disrupted after large rats began entering classrooms during lessons, frightening pupils and distracting teachers.
The invasion has since been linked to illegal dumping of household waste along a road near the school fence and main gate.
Although the school compound is said to be clean, some neighbouring residents have reportedly turned the area outside the fence into a dumping site.
The waste has created a strong smell and provided a breeding ground for rats and other pests.
