Pest Control for Healthcare Facilities
Serving Charlotte | Raleigh - Durham | Greensboro
As a healthcare facility manager, it is essential to maintain a clean and hygienic environment for your patients, staff, and visitors -anything less is unacceptable. Without proper oversight and management, pests can quickly compromise the safety and reputation of your facility – endangering patients, staff members and visitors alike. This is why managing a healthcare facility is such a big responsibility – and one that you don’t have to take on alone.
At Bug Out, we offer a reliable partnership to ensure that healthcare facilities stay far ahead of potential pest incursions, discreetly and effectively.
Our methods put health and safety first, ensuring that you’re always in compliance -meaning that everything is in place to prevent pests and anticipate risks with proper documentation, thorough inspections and clear communication.

Pest Control Services for Healthcare Facilities
We offer a comprehensive range of pest control services designed specifically for healthcare facilities, including:
Hospitals
Medical offices
Medical labs
Clinics
Dental offices
Assisted living facilities
Long-term care
Outpatient facilities
Our approach to pest control in healthcare is different from other industries. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques that focus on long-term prevention of pest infestations. This means we work to identify and eliminate the root causes of pest infestations, rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Here’s what our typical process looks like:
Thorough inspections to identify potential pest entry points and harborage areas
Customized treatment plans based on your facility’s specific needs and regulations
Discreet, non-disruptive service to minimize disruption to your patients and staff
Environmentally-friendly, low-toxicity treatment options for the safety of your patients and staff
Ongoing monitoring and maintenance to prevent future infestations
Common Pest Problems in Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare facilities are particularly vulnerable to pest infestations due to the constant flow of people, food, and supplies in and out of the building. Some of the most common pests we’ve seen and the issues they cause in healthcare facilities include:
Bed bugs can be easily introduced by patients or visitors and can spread quickly throughout the facility.
Cockroaches are attracted to food and moisture, can contaminate surfaces and spread disease.
Rodents can enter through small openings, gnaw on wires and equipment, and spread disease.
Ants can contaminate food and medical supplies, and some species can bite or sting.
Flies can spread disease and contaminate surfaces.
Mosquitoes are vectors for diseases such as West Nile, Zika, and malaria.
Termites can damage wooden structures and furniture, indirectly affecting health by compromising the integrity of the facility.
