Professional Pest Control For Hospitals, Long-Term Care And Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and nursing homes are perfect targets for pests like ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, flies, mice, and rats. Not only do these healthcare facilities provide plenty of nesting sites and food sources, they also offer easy access, through open doors, windows, or on gifts or clothing.
Once inside, these pests pose a severe threat. Pharoah ants carry salmonella and streptococcus, have been known to enter open wounds or intravenous bottles. Meanwhile, cockroaches can carry more than 30 different types of pathogens, including E.coli.
Even worse, flies can carry more than 100 different types of disease causing organisms – some hospitals have also documented their larvae in the open wounds of patients. At the same time, rats and mice can gnaw through wiring, damaging medical equipment, as well as, transmitting bacterial and sometimes fatal viral infections.
In short, an infestation of these pests can seriously threaten the already fragile well-being of patients and compromise the high standards of cleanliness required by law. But the complex physical infrastructure of many healthcare/long-term facilities also makes in-house pest control impossible.
Pest control is the foundation of public health. Dr. Alice explains what types of public health facilities are most affected, and how pest control works to protect these environments and keep those within them safe.
With long-term care facilities being prone to viruses, having an effective disinfection program can be essential to taking care of those that reside at the property. Here is a webinar to ensure you have the tools for your facility.
