Best Practices for Pest Prevention in Health Care Facilities

The most successful pest management programs use a combination of pest-proofing techniques aimed at prevention, recognition and suppression. The program requires the services of a qualified pest management firm as well as input and participation from health care staff.

It is important to note, pest management does not begin with the pest management firm, it begins as soon as the site is selected and continues each and every day the facilities are in operation. This means cleaning, building maintenance and exclusion play a key role in keeping pests out or becoming established.
