Healthcare Pest Control East Texas
Pest activity in a healthcare setting isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a patient safety issue, a regulatory violation, and a liability risk. Hospitals, clinics, and medical offices in East Texas must comply with CMS Conditions of Participation, DSHS regulations, and Joint Commission standards that require documented, proactive Integrated Pest Management programs. Critter Gitters Pest Management brings ACE-certified expertise and a commitment to the strictest IPM standards to protect your patients, your staff, and your accreditation.

I contacted Critter Gitters this morning to help me eradicate a huge wasp nest on the front of my house and around the eaves of my roof. They kindly came out a couple of hours later, killed all of the wasps, and sent me a picture of the nests. Now THAT’S service!!! Wouldn’t use anyone else!! Thanks Lane for your help and awesome service!

We have used Critter Gitters for years and wouldn’t think to go elsewhere. They are extremely detail oriented, down to the de-webbing of the whole exterior of our home. They are always extremely professional and punctual (which is a huge must for us). I couldn’t recommend a better company than Critter Gitters!

Joey Baker was highly recommended by the realtor who sold me my house. I saw what looked like termites, but Joey came right away and identified carpenter ants. I saved some dead ones in a zip lock bag for him to look at. He and his team treated the inside and outside of the house. It only took 2 treatments to get rid of the little critters. Don't do what I did. When they first started trailing out of the wall, I sprayed pesticide on them. Joey let me know to let them trail, otherwise they will go back in and make another colony.

Whether one has bugs inside their home or outside, Critter Gitters offers the complete pest control services. Having mosquito issues outside, they have a service for that. Termite issues, they have a service for that too. Locally owned, and affordable. The technicians are also professional, safe, and understand that each homeowner has their own unique concerns.

Why Healthcare Facilities in East Texas Need Specialized Pest Control
Immunocompromised patients, sterile environments, and strict regulatory oversight make healthcare pest control uniquely demanding. Products must be carefully selected to avoid triggering allergies or contaminating medical equipment. Applications must be targeted, documented, and conducted without disrupting patient care. Our owner Joey Baker holds an Associate Certified Entomologist credential and has the advanced training to build programs that satisfy CMS, DSHS, and Joint Commission surveyors.
Pest Risks in East Texas Healthcare Facilities
Cockroaches: Roaches in patient areas, supply rooms, or food service areas are a CMS citation-level violation. Our roach control program uses non-aerosol, targeted gel baits safe for sensitive environments.
Rodents: Mice in breakrooms, utility rooms, or patient corridors are both a health and regulatory hazard. Our rodent control program addresses structural entry points and provides tamper-resistant exterior bait stations.
Ants: Pharaoh ants in patient rooms or sterile supply areas can spread bacteria. Our ant control service uses colony-targeting baiting — never repellent sprays that scatter infestations.
Spiders: Spiders near patient areas create safety and liability concerns. Our spider control program removes harborage and creates exterior perimeter barriers.
Flies: Drain flies and fruit flies in break rooms and waste areas are a contamination risk. We treat breeding sites and provide drain management recommendations.
Our Commercial Service Process
Every healthcare account receives a written IPM program document, pest activity logs formatted for Joint Commission and CMS surveyors, and MSDS sheets for all products used. We schedule treatments around patient care areas and can work after hours or in phases to minimize disruption.
Commercial Pest Control Services Included
- Written IPM program for CMS/Joint Commission compliance
