Greetings From Creative pest control!!!!Pest control enters an Green friendly era
Like all public buildings, hospitals are veritable magnets for pests. Food service areas in hospitals are just as threatened by fly and rodent infestations as restaurants. Loading docks, waste disposal and storage areas in hospitals are just as vulnerable to invasions from beetles as office complexes. Bathrooms in hospitals are just as susceptible to swarms of cockroaches and termites as schools and sports facilities.
But when it comes to pest control, hospitals have special problems. Because they harbor sensitive, sterile operating rooms and other therapeutic environments and house seriously ill patients, hospitals need to balance the need for ridding their premises of nuisance and disease-carrying pests against the effects of toxic pesticides on indoor air quality, the potential for triggering acute poisoning and allergic reactions in patients and staff, and the risk of long-term effects from exposure to toxic pesticides. These may include leukemia, myeloma, and cancer of the lip, lymphatic system, prostate and stomach; birth defects; anemias and other blood disorders; abnormal immune, kidney and liver function; and behavioral, neurological and psychological conditions
Many hospitals have not yet made the switch to safer alternatives, however. According to the first nationwide survey of hospitals on the subject released in November 2003 by environmental groups Health Care Without Harm and Beyond Pesticides, 100 percent of hospitals still use chemical pesticides.
Ninety-one percent of the hospitals use chemical pesticides inside buildings, and 77 percent use them on hospital grounds. Thirty-two percent of hospitals use pest control products containing pyrethrin, a substance derived from naturally occurring chrysanthemum plants that is highly toxic and often combined with other high-risk pesticide chemicals.
The active ingredients in the 37 pesticides used most commonly in surveyed hospitals have serious health-related side effects. Sixteen are possible carcinogens; 13 have been linked with birth defects and 15 to reproductive problems; 22 are neurotoxins; 18 cause kidney or liver damage; and 28 cause eye irritation and skin rashes.
These common pesticides also endanger the external environment: 21 can contaminate groundwater; 14 are toxic to birds; and 30 are toxic to fish and other aquatic life.
