Pest Control For Your Hospital or Healthcare Facility
There’s no room for pests when someone’s health is on the line. Patients, nurses, doctors, and staff expect your hospital or clinic to be a completely pest-free environment for safety, sanitation, and compliance. We want you to be worry-free and pest-free — that’s why Catseye will create health care pest management procedures that are customized to your hospital or health care facility.
We offer premier pest control for health care facilities throughout the New England area, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Check out our service locations to discover more information about the areas covered by our technicians.
Pest Control Services
We know meeting state and federal regulations is essential — Catseye’s year-round hospital pest control services and prevention will ensure the facility is always up to code.
Crawling Insect Control
Pests like ants, beetles, and cockroaches can damage and contaminate your food products. We use discrete monitors to gauge pest activity, then apply baits and residual insecticides to eliminate the pest problem and keep patients safe.
Flying Insect Control
Fly lights and attractants are used to monitor and control the activity of flying pests. We also use baits and residual insecticides to get rid of pests like fruit flies, drain flies, and bees.
Mice & Rodent Control
We use a combination of safe and humane rodent bait stations and mechanical rodent monitoring devices to remove these critters from your healthcare facility.
Sanitation
After your pest problem is eliminated, we vacuum, disinfect, and otherwise return the facility to the way it was before pests invaded. We also offer disinfection services to keep hospitals clean and containment-free to prevent possible illnesses or the spread of viruses.
Minor Repair & Exclusion
If we find small openings, like the hole where a pipe enters the building or a crack in the foundation, we will seal it to keep pests out. We also ensure complete exclusion by sealing up areas, like behind backsplashes, where pests will hide.
Permanent Pest Exclusion
Sometimes it’s more than just a couple of small openings that are letting pests sneak inside your healthcare facility. Cat-Guard Exclusion Systems are all-natural, permanent solutions to keeping the pests out of your hospital or healthcare facility.

Pest Control Procedures for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare is one of the most regulated industries in the United States, at both the federal and state levels. Legislation like the Nursing Home Reform Act were put in place to protect the health and well-being of any patient that comes through a nursing home’s doors. Pests like cockroaches, though they don’t transmit any known diseases, can carry bacteria on them because of the filth they are attracted to – which is problematic.
Both bed bugs and cockroaches can make life for your patients miserable, and lead to health code violations. Catseye is here to provide healthcare pest control procedures to ensure you are not only up to code, but that you and your patients remain protected from pests permanently.
How to Prevent Bed Bugs in Your Health Care Facility
Bed bug populations are on the rise in not only hotels, but healthcare facilities, like nursing homes, across North America. The higher the guest turnover rate, the greater chance one of these prehistoric hitchhikers finds itself in your health care facility. When it comes to healthcare pest management, the constant monitoring of activity is a must.
Look for markings similar to “salt and pepper” along the folds of hospital beds and mattresses — those are bed bug droppings. A sure sign of a bed bug infestation, these will accumulate along mattresses and in furniture as the infestation worsens. When doing laundry, look for blood spots on sheets as well.
- Avoid any clutter and vacuum all rooms regularly.
- Routinely inspect rooms for bed bug activity.
- Pull back baseboard moldings, look along bed frames, box springs and mattresses for “salt and pepper” like spots.
- Keep linens clean and replace old ones regularly.
- Inspect behind picture frames or light fixtures.
- When collecting dirty linens, make sure to note where each sheet is coming from to discover the problem as quickly as possible.
