We understand that your patients come first. By their nature, healthcare facilities are busy places, and it is difficult to prevent mice, rats, flies, cockroaches, bed bugs, and ants from entering the building and thriving with the food and warmth they can find there. These pests are a serious threat in every environment, but in primary healthcare, the risk of cross-contamination is acute.
Pest control in hospitals, surgeries, and nursing homes plays an important role in preventing secondary infection. As the leading expert in pest control services, Ehrlich has the expertise to deliver the highest level of reassurance against pests, while being sensitive to the special needs of working in a healthcare environment.

Hospitals rely on strict cleaning routines, regular inspections, and professional pest control services to help keep bugs away. By sealing entry points, managing waste properly, and monitoring for early signs of pests, facilities can prevent infestations before they start. Partnering with experts like Ehrlich adds a layer of protection through proactive treatments and ongoing prevention plans.
Pests are most commonly found in areas that provide food, water, and warmth. Common trouble spots include kitchens, cafeterias, laundry rooms, storage areas, and waste disposal zones. Pests can also appear in patient rooms or waiting areas if brought in by visitors or deliveries. Routine monitoring of these areas helps to detect issues early and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Technicians use personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety and prevent contamination while delivering pest control in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Depending on the task, PPE can include gloves, coveralls, protective eyewear, and respiratory protection. Each situation is carefully assessed to ensure the appropriate level of protection is used in accordance with healthcare safety standards.
