Imagine you run a hospital and you get bed bugs in a patient room. Never mind the fact that the risk of spreading disease is very low, Infectious Control is telling you the bugs have to go. You also know you don’t want to deal with the complaints and don’t want to gain the reputation of having bugs. You call your pest management professional and he wants you to throw out the carpeting, the furniture, and quarantine the area for 6 weeks while they work on it with repeated chemical treatments. All you can see is the tens of thousands of dollars lost by not having the space. Does this “professional” know?

This has happened, undoubtedly many times across the country. By using heat, we’ve been able to take a Labor & Delivery Room, Emergency Room, Ambulance, and more sensitive medical areas and put them back in service the next day, without using any chemicals.

Of course Medical environments are sensitive environments, and heat must be used not only effectively but cautiously to not damage equipment, the structure, and to be minimally invasive to the others working around you. You must follow hospital protocols for sub-contractors and good safety practices.

If you have an infested ambulance, hospital or medical facility, contact Adam’s today. We are willing to go beyond our normal service area or perhaps can recommend someone in your area we know and trust.
