Hospitals Pest Control

Serving Louisiana & Mississippi

The healthcare industry has high standards when it comes to pest management. Hospitals are prime targets for pest infestations, and cannot be serviced in the same manner as manufacturing sites, retail outlets, restaurants, or office buildings.

Pests Found in Hospitals

Hospitals are susceptible to pests commonly found in houses and businesses. Ants, fire ants, bedbugs, cockroaches, ticks, fleas, mice, mosquitoes, rats and spiders, among others, can all slip into buildings as people and deliveries come in and out. Pests can gain access in backpacks, boxes, delivery vehicles, and on people and their belongings.

Pests can transmit a host of diseases to humans and animals with effects ranging from minor discomfort to death. Some diseases spread by pests include:

• Bubonic plague
• Rabies
• Cholera
• Dengue
• Salmonellosis
• Staph
• Dysentery
• Malaria
• and many more

How To Choose the Right Hospital Pest Management Company

Pest management plays a major role in allowing us to live healthier, more prosperous and comfortable lives. To ensure proper pest management always deal with a qualified and licensed pest management company that is a member of national, state or local pest management associations. Membership in the national, state, or local pest control associations is a good indicator that the company has access to modern technical information and is committed to further education.

In between professional pest control visits, employees can take a variety of steps to reduce the likelihood of infestation and ensure proper pest management. They should remain vigilant in assessing their environment. Encouraging employees to wipe down exposed areas, secure trash lids, maintain a clean floor space, and keep windows and doors fastened. Employees can also track pest sightings in a pest sighting log that records the type of pest, location, and behavior. This will help a pest management professional when they come in to evaluate the facility.
