Nursing Homes & Group Homes
In nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and group homes, pest control is about more than property protection—it’s about resident health, safety, and peace of mind. These facilities house some of the most vulnerable populations, where even minor pest problems can quickly turn into serious health risks and reputational concerns.
At U.S. Pest Control, we provide specialized pest management services for nursing homes and group homes throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and the surrounding Virginia areas. Our programs are designed with safety, compliance, and discretion in mind, ensuring your residents, staff, and families feel comfortable and protected.
Why Pest Control is Critical in Nursing Homes & Group Homes
The unique nature of care facilities makes them highly susceptible to pest activity. Constant food preparation, communal living spaces, laundry facilities, and increased warmth indoors provide ideal habitats for pests.
Common Pests in Nursing Homes & Care Facilities
- Bed Bugs – Easily transferred on clothing, furniture, and visitors’ belongings. Once established, they spread quickly between resident rooms.
- German Cockroaches – Thrive in kitchens, dining halls, and medical supply areas. Known to spread bacteria and trigger allergies.
- Rodents (Mice & Rats) – Enter through small gaps in buildings and contaminate food and medical supplies. Their droppings and gnawing habits create safety hazards.
- Ants – Attracted to food trays, pantries, and common areas.
- Flies & Drain Gnats – Common in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas; spread disease and create sanitation concerns.
- Stored Product Pests – Can infest dry food storage, threatening compliance with health regulations.
The risk: Even a single pest sighting by a resident or visiting family member can lead to complaints, poor reviews, failed health inspections, and loss of trust.
