Care Homes Pest Control

Care and Residential Homes are very busy establishments with residents, staff and visitors. They can provide many opportunities for pests to cause problems.

Examples of infestation include: rodents, flies, cockroaches and other insects, leading to:

Bites
Allergies
Spread of unpleasant diseases
Undue stress for all those involved
Real damage to the property and possessions for staff, residents and visitors

These are particularly serious as many care home residents have increased susceptibility to germs and disease, spread by pests.

One of the fastest and growing pest concerns across the Care Home industry is bed bug control. The common bed bug bite can cause reactions ranging from minor irritation to severe allergic hypersensitivity. Bed bugs are a pest of significant public health importance, widely infesting care homes, hospitals and other multi-occupied properties. Shield have proven experience and capabilities to identify the source and the correct long-term solution.

If any of these risks remain untreated by a professional company like Shield Pest Control, the eventual result can be loss of income, prosecution and even closure of the premises.

There are many strict regulations that must be complied with fully such as:

Public Health Act 1936 sections 83 to 85
The Environmental Protection Act 1990
Food Safety Act 1990
The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949

This may all appear very daunting especially when you are trying to run a busy care home. Shield Pest Control have the experience and expertise to help you manage both preventative and remedial pest control for your business.
