Residents in care are often frail and vulnerable, so pests are not just a nuisance - they are an infection-control and safeguarding risk that the CQC takes seriously. JG Pest Control provides scheduled commercial pest control contracts for care homes and nursing homes across the UK, with same-day emergency callouts and cover every day of the year except Christmas Day, from early morning until late.
The pests that target care homes and nursing homes
Kitchens, laundries, clinical waste and resident rooms each carry their own risk. The pests we see most are:
- Rats and mice - they carry disease and contaminate food preparation and storage areas.
- Bed bugs - they spread between rooms and are distressing for elderly residents.
- Flies - a hygiene risk around kitchens, laundries and clinical waste.
- Ants - they trail into kitchens and resident rooms in warmer months.
- Cockroaches - they shelter in warm kitchen and plant areas.
Meeting CQC and infection-control standards
The Care Quality Commission expects a safe, clean environment, and an unmanaged pest problem can directly affect your rating. Our contracts provide the documented monitoring, treatment and reporting that form part of your infection-control and health and safety evidence.
