Keeping pests out of healthcare facilities is very important to protect patients, staff, and operations. With over 50 years of experience, Gregory Pest Solutions is a trusted leader. We know the challenges healthcare buildings face and provide clear, proven solutions. Our fast response times and close attention to detail help us deliver the service healthcare teams can count on. We understand that as your facility operates around the clock, it requires pest control services that also respect patient privacy and health guidelines. That’s why we offer focused support and strategic planning tailored to medical environments.
Healthcare Facilities We Service
We provide pest control to facilities like hospitals, rehabilitation centers, outpatient clinics, urgent care offices, and assisted living homes. We know that every facility is different and may have different pest problems. Each type of facility presents unique risks. For example, nursing homes may be vulnerable to bed bugs, while clinics with food storage may struggle with flies or rodents. Our team is equipped to handle all of these challenges with precision.
Our technicians are trained to work in healthcare settings. They follow strict hygiene rules and try not to disturb patients or staff. We customize our pest control services for each place, whether you have one location or many.
We have strong partnerships with healthcare teams across the region. No matter the size of your facility, we focus on prevention and safety to lower pest risks and help you provide quality care. From small clinics to regional hospital systems, we adapt to fit your needs.
Why Pest Control Matters in Healthcare?
Pest control in healthcare must meet the highest standards. Pests can threaten patient health, staff safety, and your facility’s reputation. Even one pest problem can shut down parts of a hospital or clinic. In addition to health concerns, pest sightings may trigger complaints, damage public trust, or lead to delays in care or inspections.
Rodents, ants, cockroaches, and flies can contaminate sterile areas and medical equipment. Infections can spread faster when pests reach places like surgery rooms or patient care areas. These pests can also interfere with operations by damaging wiring, blocking airflow systems, or affecting pharmaceutical storage.
Healthcare pest control needs to do more than treat surfaces — it must protect all parts of the facility. Good pest control helps meet health department rules and infection prevention goals.
Pest Challenges in Healthcare Environments
Pest control in healthcare settings can be tough. High traffic, 24-hour operations, food services, and storage areas create perfect breeding grounds for pests. Without a strong plan, pest problems can grow quickly. In some cases, pest activity may go unnoticed for weeks if proper inspections aren’t in place.
Rodents may enter through utility lines or gaps in walls. Flies gather near trash areas and drains. Cockroaches hide in kitchens or break rooms. Bed bugs can travel in with patients, staff, or visitors. Even laundry areas, staff lockers, or waiting rooms can become entry points.
If pests show up, control must be fast and careful without putting patients at risk. Healthcare facilities need pest control that is safe, low-impact, and designed for sensitive places. Our targeted treatments are applied with precision, focusing on high-risk zones and using methods approved for medical settings.

Pest Prevention Tips for Healthcare Facilities
Stopping pests starts with good daily habits. Here are some tips to lower the risk:
- Check doors, windows, and vents for gaps where pests can get in.
- Store food properly and clean kitchens and break rooms every day.
- Fix plumbing leaks quickly and remove standing water.
- Empty trash often and use bins with tight-fitting lids.
- Avoid storing too many cardboard boxes, which pests enjoy.
- Train staff to report any pest sightings right away.
Daily cleaning helps, but it is not enough by itself. Regular inspections and long-term monitoring are key to keeping pests away. For full protection, work with pest control experts who understand healthcare needs. Creating a pest awareness plan with your staff also strengthen your overall approach. Encourage them to report anything unusual, including droppings, strange smells, or insect sightings.
Our Process & Solutions
Every healthcare site is different, so we start with a walkthrough of your facility. We assess high-risk areas, speak with your team, and gather details to create a clear plan.
We focus on proactive pest control in healthcare. We solve problems at the root with targeted treatment plans. This approach goes beyond just treating the symptoms. We build custom strategies based on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, which include:
- Low-impact treatments designed for sensitive areas
- Sanitation support and exclusion techniques
- Ongoing monitoring and analysis
- Clear communication and documentation
Gregory Pest Solutions also offers special bed bug services using Thermal Remediation® Heat Treatment System. This fast, largely non-chemical method safely eliminates infestations and meets strict safety rules. Pesticides may be applied where the heat can not reach to ensure we get every bed bug.
Swift Response and Support
Our digital reporting system, with a web portal, is available to all customers. You can track pest control activity live, whether you have one building or many. The account belongs to your company, and you control who can see it, set alerts, and view reports. This tool makes it easy to pull reports for inspections, accreditation visits, or internal audits.
The platform makes communication easy, supports fast decisions, and helps you stay organized. It’s especially helpful for healthcare groups with multiple locations or changing staff. You get easy access to records, real-time alerts, and everything you need for audits or reviews.
