Frequent visitors
Structural defects
Dream Pest Control has a deep understanding of the risks a potential pest problem can create for
hospitals, acute care centers, senior living facilities and other healthcare properties. We know that protecting the health
of your patients and residents also protects your reputation.
Common pests in healthcare facilities:
Ants – Certain species of ants, such as Pharaoh and crazy ants, can create problems in a healthcare environment. Patient health can also be compromised by fire ants, which can bite and in some circumstances result in anaphylactic shock.
Bird management – Birds are attracted to architectural elements of many hospitals, including flat rooftops. They can also create mechanical issues and spread potentially dangerous pathogens when they nest and congregate.
In addition to causing your facility to look unattractive, bird droppings also pose serious health and safety concerns.
Flies – Flies are one of the world’s most dangerous disease vectors, spreading bacteria and pathogens wherever they land.
Western’s fly control service starts on the outside of the facility, targeting dumpsters and other fly hot spots to reduce the
likelihood that they can get inside your facility.
Bed bugs – Western’s proven approach to bed bugs includes education, early detection, and proven eradication methods. These solutions eliminate bed bugs and keep patients safe from these biting pests.
