OVERVIEW
How to deal with rodents and pests in an assisted living facility
Pest control for retirement centers and assisted living facilities is essential to operations and overall health. In fact, lack of proper pest control management in your retirement facility could lead to a health code violation. Maintaining a safe and healthy environment is an important aspect of care centers, particularly for those with residents who have weakened immune systems.
ATTRACTING PESTS
What Attracts Pests In Assisted Living Facilities?
A vital aspect of assisted living pest prevention is knowing what attracts pests into your care center in the first place. Here are some common things that can attract unwanted critters:
Food
With multiple meals served each day and residents keeping food in their rooms, food products are one of the biggest factors in attracting pests like rodents, cockroaches, ants, and flies into your facility.
Sink & Floor Drain
Drains in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas often collect scum that attracts pests. With plenty of water and few disturbances, dirty drains are prime locations for pest infestations in retirement centers.
Garbage
The building’s dumpster areas are hotspots for pest infestations, making proper cleaning and regular garbage disposal essential for pest control in nursing homes.
COMMON SIGNS
Common Signs Of Pests
Educate your employees on the signs of common pests so they can help you keep an eye out for infestations. Here are a few tell-tale signs to watch out for:
Black Specks
Cockroach excrement looks like specks of ground black pepper or coffee grounds. These specks are commonly found on walls, countertops, or floors.
Unpleasant, Greasy Odor
In large numbers, cockroaches can cause a greasy, musty smell that is overpowering and associated with fairly severe infestations. If you or the residents you work for notice a strange smell, look for other signs of cockroaches.
Egg Casings
When cockroaches breed, they leave small egg casings behind in bedrooms, kitchens, or communal areas. These casings are pill-shaped and tan to white in color.
Dots on Mattresses or Bedding
Bed bugs leave behind excrement that looks like tiny, dark brown dots, or you may find small blood stains on sheets or upholstery where people have been bitten. Keep on the lookout for tiny red marks on residents' skin, also, which may be bed bug bites. These specks are usually found on beds but bed bugs can get into various types of furniture, like couches or nightstands.
Bite Marks
One obvious sign of rodent infestations is bite marks on food packaging, walls, or electrical cords. Rodents can spread diseases among residents, making pest control for mice and rats of the utmost importance.

Jaylen was wonderful! He took extra care around our plants, texted before arrival so we could put away the dogs, and was extremely knowledgeable and caring about his craft. He was able to answer a few additional questions we had swiftly and with a smile. 100% recommend!

I've been with Hawx for a few years. They have great customer service. I didn't like that the price went up and got charged without my being notified but I discussed that with them once I realized my auto charge was increased. The current technician I've been getting is Jose. He's pretty responsive and serviced specific areas I needed/requested

I called Hawx to service my apartment after my building manager could not get to me quicker. Hawx arrived early next morning. Chris came and did a very thorough job. I highly recommend this service!
