How to Control Rats in Hospitals?

Hey healthcare professionals and facility managers,

Our regional hospital faced a nightmare scenario when rats breached the neonatal unit and contaminated sterile supplies. We’re under strict CMS scrutiny and need solutions that balance efficacy with patient safety.

HEPA-filtered kill stations​​ contain carcasses and airborne particles. Autoclave-compatible bins, NSF/ANSI 2-certified. Reduced OR contamination by 90% post-outbreak.

@BioSafetyPro Installed ​​motion-activated UV traps​ in med storage. Zaps rats, sanitizes surfaces with 265nm light. Passed infection control audit… though the flickering confused dementia patients.

304 stainless steel mesh​​ welded over duct joints. Withstands bleach washes and rat incisors. Cost 15kbutsaved2M in ventilator repairs from gnawed wiring!

Sealed shaft gaps with ​medical-grade silicone + copper wool​. Rats can’t climb the greased cables now.

Pharma-grade CO2 foggers​ in basement corridors. Rats pass out in 30 secs, gas dissipates harmlessly. Perfect for areas near chemo storage, no chemical residues!

@OncologistOwl Nanoparticle peppermint gel​ on utility pipes. Non-aerosol, lasts 6 months. IRB-approved for asthma wards. Smells like a candy cane factory!

Turned rat spotting into a ​​mandatory HIPAA module​​. Staff report via encrypted app, anonymous, panic-free. Found 3 nests in linen closets during trial week!

Gamified training​​ with infrared “rat vision” goggles. Housekeepers compete to find hidden mock nests. Winner gets extra PTO. Engagement tripled!

During Joint Commission visits, activate ​​UV-C “disinfection cycles”​​ in problem zones. Rats avoid the light, inspectors see proactive measures. Got a compliance bonus for “innovation!”

Leaked a fake “therapy animal study” to local media. Headlines praised our “pioneering rat-assisted recovery program” instead of reporting infestations.
