Pest Control for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities in Middle Tennessee
A pest in a patient room isn’t just unpleasant. It’s an infection-control concern. U.S. Pest Protection provides hospital pest control across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and we protect surgery centers, medical and dental offices, senior living communities, and nursing homes, too. We keep pests out of patient areas, kitchens, and supply rooms. Our integrated pest management program works around patient care, not through it, and our records are ready when surveyors arrive. We’re a family-owned Tennessee company that has protected local facilities since 1985. Call 615-757-6710.- Background-checked Pest Pros in every healthcare facility

Why Pests Are a Bigger Risk in Healthcare
In a healthcare building, a pest sighting is never just a maintenance ticket:Healthcare facilities need a pest partner who understands that the work happens in occupied, sensitive spaces.
Pest Control That Works Around Patient Care
Healthcare facilities never close, so our program is designed to fit inside one. The National Pest Management Association recommends coordinating pest management with infection prevention, environmental services, facilities, food service, and laundry teams, and that’s how we operate:
- Coordination: we plan service with the departments that own each space, and report findings to the right person, not just the front desk.
- No disruption: patient areas are serviced on a schedule your team approves, often during low-traffic hours.
- Targeted treatment: sensitive areas get monitors and precisely placed baits instead of broad sprays.
- Prevention first: sealing entry points, cleaning up drains, and fixing moisture problems do most of the work.
We’re in the People Business
Hospitals and care communities are full of people on hard days. Our Pest Pros arrive in pressed button-down shirts and logoed ties, work quietly and respectfully, and treat your facility as if someone from their own family were a patient there.
Every Pest Pro who services healthcare facilities passes a background check, and we don’t employ anyone with violent offenses, assault, or drug charges.
Healthcare Facilities We Protect
| Facility type | What we focus on |
| Hospitals | Kitchens and cafeterias, floor drains, loading docks, central supply, and patient floors |
| Surgery centers | Keeping pests away from procedure and sterile processing areas through exclusion and monitoring |
| Medical offices and clinics | Waiting rooms, break rooms, and exterior entry points, serviced outside of patient hours |

| Senior living communities | Dining areas, resident apartments, and discreet bed bug response |
| Nursing homes | Kitchens, laundry, resident rooms, and records ready for state surveys |
Senior Living Communities and Nursing Homes
Senior living is home first. Residents eat, sleep, and spend their days in the same building, and families visit often, so pests are noticed fast and remembered. We service resident areas with care and respect for privacy, keep baits in locked, tamper-resistant stations, and give dining and laundry areas extra attention.
Bed bugs are a real concern in care communities because they arrive on visitors, new residents, and belongings. When a report comes in, we respond quickly and discreetly, inspect the room and its neighbors, and help your staff keep it from spreading.
Where Pests Hide in Healthcare Facilities
- Kitchens, cafeterias, and patient nourishment stations
- Floor drains, mop sinks, and plumbing chases
- Loading docks, receiving, and central supply
- Laundry and linen areas
- Break rooms and staff lounges
- Waste and soiled-utility rooms

Help Your Staff Help Us
Nurses, environmental services, and dietary staff are often the first to see a problem. These habits help us respond faster:
- Record each sighting in the logbook, noting the room, time, and what was seen.
- Encourage patients and visitors to keep outside food sealed, and clear food trays promptly.
- Keep drains clean and report slow drains or standing water.
- Break down cardboard from deliveries before it reaches patient floors.
- Call us right away about any suspected bed bug, rather than moving the patient’s belongings.

One Partner for Your Hospital, Clinics, and Communities
Health systems and senior living operators often run many locations. With us, you have a single contact and a single invoice for all of them, while each site keeps its own logbook and records. You get the reach of a large company and the attention of a local one.
Our Whatever It Takes Guarantee
If pests return between visits, our team comes back and re-treats without charge. If the problem still isn’t resolved to your satisfaction, your last service is refunded, and if that doesn’t make it right, we’ll cover the cost of a competitor. That’s how seriously we take accountability.
Agreements and Investment
Healthcare accounts begin with a one-year agreement and are never tied to a longer contract. Most facilities choose monthly service, and higher-risk areas can be serviced weekly. Pricing follows a free facility assessment and reflects your square footage, the number of buildings, and how often each area needs attention.
James Hawkins, our Regional Commercial General Manager, leads the division that serves healthcare accounts. He brings more than 20 years with U.S. Pest, Tennessee licenses in pest control, termite control, and public health pest control, and LEED certification.
