Pest management for aged care facilities

Precision Pest Control provides preventative pest management programs for aged care environments, helping protect residents, staff, visitors and your compliance obligations with minimal disruption to daily routines.

When it comes to pest control in aged care facilities, we treat each location individually, collaborating with you to develop a treatment plan. Our treatment plan is tailored to suit the specific needs of the facility and its residents, as we understand the difficulties of conducting an effective pest treatment program in highly sensitive areas.

Pest control in aged care facilities in the areas we operate – the Sydney region, Canberra, Newcastle and the Central Coast of NSW – requires a long-term pest management program to ensure that there is no exposure to clients or residents, and minimal impact on day-to-day activities. Precision Pest Control has extended experience in conducting long-term, discreet and effective pest control in sensitive areas.

Our three-step approach to pest control in aged care facilities

We understand the value of discretion when treating pest infestations in and around aged care facilities. Our commercial pest control service is tailored to your schedule, dealing with the problem quietly and quickly with long-term protection measures in place to ensure no clients, or business reputations, are harmed in the process.

Step 1 – A full pest inspection with recommended treatment plan

We ensure that we conduct a thorough inspection of the aged care facility to fully understand the extent of the pest infestation. We then recommend a treatment plan tailored to the needs of your residents and your business.

Step 2 – Carry out the recommended treatment

Once we have developed a personalised treatment plan to address the pest infestation, we will carry out our recommended treatment plan at times that are convenient to you and your residents, with a full explanation as to what needs to be done and why.

Step 3 – Report and follow up

After having performed the recommended treatment plan, we will conduct a thorough analysis to ensure we have successfully eliminated the pest problem and write up a report adhering to the Australian Standards. We will follow up as necessary and carry out any further treatment if required.

Why pest management matters in aged care?

In aged care, pest issues are more than a nuisance. Residents may be more vulnerable to bites, infection risk and allergens, while kitchens, laundry, waste zones and storerooms can increase pest pressure. A single pest incident can quickly become a complaint, family concern or internal reporting issue.
