Aged Care Pest Control Brisbane

Why Pest Control is Crucial for Aged Care 

·        Health and Safety:

Pests like rodents and cockroaches can spread diseases, posing a significant health risk to vulnerable residents.

·        Hygiene and Sanitation:

Aged care facilities have stringent cleaning processes, but these alone are ineffective against larger pests.

·        Increased Risk:

The constant movement of people, deliveries, and open doors in aged care facilities increases the likelihood of pest entry and infestations.

Key Components of an Aged Care Pest Control Program

·        Inspection & Monitoring:

Regular, thorough inspections by licensed professionals are necessary to identify and address pest issues. 

·        Integrated Pest Management (IPM):

This approach focuses on prevention and uses a combination of methods:

·        Sanitation: Maintaining strict cleanliness, especially in kitchens, to remove food sources and eliminate attractions for pests. 

·        Exclusion: Sealing cracks, gaps, and other entry points in the building's structure to prevent pests from getting inside. 

·        Staff Training: Educating staff on proper hygiene, food handling, and how to identify and report pest sightings. 

·        Targeted Treatments: If infestations occur, licensed pest control technicians will use safe, effective, and discreet treatments tailored to the specific environment and health regulations.
