Diagnosing health facility pest activity

Not only can many pests spread dangerous bacteria that can cause diseases, but patients with weakened immune systems in health care facilities face a greater risk of infection. Ladybugs occur in a wide spectrum of colors, ranging from yellow to orange to red, and have a varying number of spots. Because of the wide range of colors, people sometimes don't know that they are all the same species. Warning signs of termite infestations may include temporary swarms of winged termites during the spring, discarded wings, cracked or bubbling paint, mud tubes on walls of the building and wood that sounds hollow when tapped.
