Protecting Residents, Staff & Reputation

Care and residential homes are busy environments with constant movement from residents, staff, and visitors. Unfortunately, this creates the perfect conditions for pests to thrive—making effective pest control a top priority.

At West Country Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges faced by care homes. Our team is trained to work discreetly and efficiently, with solutions tailored to sensitive environments.

Common pest issues in care homes include:

• Bed bugs

• Rodents

• Cockroaches

• Flies and other insects

Left unchecked, these infestations can result in:

• Bites and allergic reactions

• The spread of harmful diseases

• Damage to property and possessions

• Increased stress for residents, staff, and families

• Potential legal consequences or forced closure

This is especially serious in care homes, where many residents are more vulnerable to the health risks pests can bring.

We help you stay fully compliant with the following legislation:

• Public Health Act 1936 (Sections 83–85)

• Environmental Protection Act 1990

• Food Safety Act 1990

• Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949

With years of hands-on experience, West Country Pest Control offers fast response times, preventative inspections, and safe treatments—designed to keep your care home safe, hygienic, and fully operational.
