Healthcare & medical: pest control in Monaco
Clinics, medical and dental practices, laboratories, pharmacies, care homes for the elderly: in Monaco as on the Riviera, a pest in a healthcare setting threatens vulnerable patients and confidence in the care provided. Certibiocide-certified MPS technicians work outside consultation hours, using targeted methods and approved biocidal products; treatment certificates can be downloaded for your audits.
Vulnerable patients, care that never stops
Clinic, medical or dental practice, laboratory, imaging centre, pharmacy, care home for the elderly: in Monaco as on the Riviera, a pest in a healthcare setting is never a mere nuisance. It affects vulnerable people (immunocompromised patients, the elderly, young children, people with allergies) and can undermine confidence in the quality of care. Meanwhile, care cannot stop: there is no question of closing a department for treatment, nor of spraying insecticide in an occupied waiting room.
Pests to watch for in medical settings
- Cockroaches: the German cockroach colonises warm, humid areas (kitchens, pantries, laundries, plant rooms) and carries bacteria on its legs; its droppings and shed skins are also recognised allergens, particularly for people with asthma.
- Ants: the Pharaoh ant (Monomorium pharaonis), fond of heated buildings, can find its way into dressings and sterile equipment. Inappropriate spraying risks splitting the colony and spreading the problem: these ants are treated with baits.
- Flies: near waste rooms and kitchens, they carry germs from one surface to another.
- Rodents: mice move through suspended ceilings and ducts, contaminate stores and gnaw through cables.
- Bed bugs: they arrive with the personal belongings of patients, visitors or residents, and settle in armchairs and beds.
- Outdoors: pigeons near air intakes, tiger mosquitoes in the gardens of care homes.
A protocol designed for care areas
The free audit (visual and acoustic inspection, species identification, mapping of entry points) distinguishes between care areas, technical areas, kitchens and outdoor spaces. The resulting personalised action plan favours mechanical and biological measures: trapping, sealing of gaps, digital monitoring. Chemical treatment, when needed, remains targeted (gel applied in cracks, baits in closed stations) and uses only approved biocidal products, applied by Certibiocide-certified technicians. For kitchens and food preparation areas, our protocols are HACCP-compatible.
Discretion towards patients
Visits are scheduled outside consultation hours, in unoccupied areas or at times agreed with the facility manager. The team can arrive with no distinctive signs, in an unmarked vehicle and plain clothing: a patient in the waiting room should have no reason to wonder why a pest control technician is there.
Evidence for your audits, a response in emergencies
Every intervention is recorded in an electronically signed report with photos, available in the online client area; treatment certificates can be downloaded there for your audits, a safety commission or your insurer. In situations of immediate risk, such as an active infestation or cockroaches in a food area, our 24/7 on-call service is triggered after a first phone call, with a call back within 6 hours, 7 days a week.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers
- Can you intervene without disrupting consultations?
- Yes. Visits are scheduled outside consultation hours or in unoccupied areas, in agreement with the facility manager. The team can arrive with no distinctive signs, and targeted methods (trapping, gel, baits in closed stations) avoid spraying in areas used by patients.
- What products do you use in a healthcare facility?
- Only approved biocidal products, applied by Certibiocide-certified technicians, and only after mechanical and biological measures. Chemical treatment remains targeted, in cracks or closed stations, to limit exposure for patients and staff.
- What documents do you provide for our audits?
- Every intervention results in an electronically signed report with photos, in your online client area. Treatment certificates can be downloaded there for your audits or a safety commission.
- What should we do if we find cockroaches or bed bugs?
- Avoid shop-bought insecticides, which often scatter the insects without solving the problem, and call +377 37 70 70 02. In situations of immediate risk, such as an active infestation or contamination in a food area, our 24/7 on-call service is triggered after that first call, with a call back within 6 hours.
