Pest Control Is The First Step For Safeguarding Your Hospital Or Healthcare Facility
There’s no question of the importance of pest control in hospitals and healthcare facilities. From protecting medical supplies to preventing disease and transmission from mice and other pests, effective pest control for hospitals is crucial for patients’ health and well-being.
Pest control is the foundation of public health. Dr. Alice, Orkin Canada’s Entomologist, shares her thoughts on how pest control affects our entire public health system and helps to protect our population from sickness and pathogens.
Healthcare Pest Control Requires More Than Just Treatment
We understand the complex nature of healthcare and long-term care homes and the importance of pest control and prevention within these types of environments. Without an Integrated Pest Management program in place, you run the risk of pest infestations—which can compromise the health of those within your hospital and the cleanliness standards that are required by law.
When it comes to treatment options in hospitals, fumigation and pesticides aren’t the only courses of action available. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is ideal to maintain a long term approach to keeping your medical facility professionally protected. We focus on the ongoing process of risk assessment, routine inspections, and exclusion methods to prevent pests. Our customized IPM program is specifically designed to meet healthcare needs, while keeping patients and medical staff safe. Choosing a proven pest control partner can help you effectively protect everyone within your facility’s walls and ensure a healthy environment.
Here are a few advantages of choosing Orkin Canada as your healthcare and hospital pest control partner.
