Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
Since recovering patients are highly susceptible to pest-borne diseases, it’s crucial for any healthcare facility to be vigilant for any signs of pest infestations. With pests around, your patients’ health conditions could get worse instead of better. If you own or manage a hospital, a physical rehabilitation center or a long-term care facility, it’s extremely important to hire a professional pest control Boca Raton service provider to make sure that none of these disease-causing pests could cause trouble in your facility:
Did you know that ticks could carry and spread 16 different pathogens that cause a host of problems including rashes, fevers, and gastrointestinal distress? This is extremely dangerous for patients who have compromised immune systems. Ticks transport themselves from one place to another by hitching rides on humans and their pets. Furthermore, they can also reproduce and spread out quickly in their new environments. To keep them from doing so, uniforms and linens need to be washed frequently and the areas where ticks like to lay eggs such as baseboards and entry points need to be thoroughly vacuumed every day.
Did you know that out of all the insects on the planet, mosquitoes are responsible for more damage to humans? They carry diseases such as malaria, Dengue fever, viral encephalitis, West Nile virus, and Zika virus that cause death to more than a million people every year. Their infestations are often not easy to eradicate because they can be frustratingly hardy. The most effective way to avoid them is to implement strict cleanliness protocols.
Mice and rats can potentially spread the life-threateninghantavirus, lymphocytic salmonella, and more. The best way to keep rodents atbay is to control their access to warmth, food, and shelter and to focus onstrict cleanliness procedures.
