Nursing Home & Long-Term Care Pest Control

Keep Pests Far Away From Your Long-Term Care Homes

We must keep long-term care residents and patients healthy and comfortable during this critical phase of their lives. So, effective pest control for nursing homes and long-term care facilities, from protecting medical supplies to preventing illnesses, diseases and transmission from mice and other pests, is paramount. 

The Critical Importance Of Pest Control In Long-Term Care Homes

Pest control is the foundation for the general health of senior citizens and patients with long-term and ongoing health conditions. As Orkin Canada’s Entomologist Dr. Alice shares, pest control affects our entire public health system, from restaurants and schools to hospitals and nursing homes.

Long-term care facilities face unique challenges when it comes to pest management. High visitor traffic, waste management, busy food service operations, active laundry areas and communal living spaces create a highly attractive environment for pests. And because residents are elderly, often with lower or compromised immune systems, they can be especially vulnerable to illnesses that pests can spread.

We understand the complexity of pest control for nursing homes and other long-term care environments and the critical need to maintain a clean, safe and compliant facility. Without a robust Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, you risk pest infestations, which can compromise the health of those within your facilities and the cleanliness standards required by law. 

Your Trusted Long-Term Care Pest Control Partner

Choosing a proven pest control partner can help you effectively protect everyone within your facility’s walls and ensure a healthy environment. Here’s why you should select Canada Orkin:

Consistent support for all your pest control needs

From initial assessment to regular treatment and monitoring visits, your Orkin Pro will always work to meet your home’s needs and priorities. They will get to know your facility, build relationships with your staff, and create a pest control plan to eliminate the prevalent pests in your community and region. 

Equipping your team with effective sanitation procedures

Your local Orkin Pro will implement effective pest prevention tools, provide pest activity reports that your staff can use to help prevent infestations, and guide your team in developing a comprehensive sanitation schedule for your long-term care or nursing home. Additionally, your Orkin Pro can offer educational seminars and resources to ensure everyone understands the crucial role of pest control in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your residents. 

Ensuring comprehensive care for your long-term care home

Although the needs of a long-term care home may vary, our pest control process is proven and effective. An Orkin Pro will inspect your facility’s internal and external areas, implementing exclusion and prevention strategies as your first defence against pests. If pest activity is detected, we will provide safe, sustainable treatment solutions and ongoing monitoring to ensure effective control.

When it comes to treatment options in long-term care and nursing homes, an IPM program is ideal, providing a long-term strategy to keep your facility professionally protected while ensuring the safety of older adults and those with weakened immune systems. This approach focuses on using safe and sustainable treatments to minimize any risks to residents’ health.
