Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide adequate pest control services for
bed bugs when reviewed for physical environment. This failure has the potential to affect all 107 residents
residing in the facility.Findings Include:On 1/6/26 at 1:58 PM, room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed, no
residents reside in this room. Approximately seven dead bed bugs were noted on a glue board, one live bed
bug noted on the mattress by the door.On 1/8/26 at 8:40 AM, room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed, this
room does not house any residents, one live bed bug observed on the baseboard and one live bed bug on
the mattress sheet. On 1/8/26 at 8:43 AM, room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed, this room does not
house any residents, several dead bed bugs observed on the baseboards.On 1/6/26 at 10:14 AM, V6,
Maintenance Director, stated the facility has not had any residents with bed bugs for a while. V6 stated the
facility sprays for bed bugs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. V6 stated the facility does have bait
sticky traps out for bed bugs and have found some bugs on the traps but have not had any live bed bug
sighting. V6 stated he is unsure if the bed bugs that have been found on the sticky traps are coming from
the walls or not. V6 stated no residents have had any bed bugs on them or any resident rooms including
curtains and bed linens. V6 stated if a resident's room is found to have bugs, the resident is moved out of
that room, and everything is heat treated and washed. V6 stated residents are kept out of that room for at
least a month and that room is on a list to be watched. V6 stated if a resident complains about bed bugs,
and no bugs are found, that room will be put on the list and sprayed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
V6 stated residents will only be moved out of the room if they have active bed bugs in them and all
residents will be moved out of the room. On 1/6/26 at 1:50PM, V1, Administrator, stated she has been at
the facility since November 2025 and at that time, they were finishing up treatment for bed bugs, she is not
aware of any live sightings since then. V1 stated she thinks they found a dead bed bug downstairs on the
500 hall in December and pest control came and sprayed. V1 stated she believed room [ROOM NUMBER]
was also treated. On 1/8/26 at 9:00 AM, V13, Pest Control Service Technician, stated the facility has bed
bug issues but not as bad has they were. V13 stated bed bugs are hitch hikers and residents/staff can
transfer them from one unit to another. Today I treated rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] as a follow up, there was
activity in 512 last week because there was dead bed bugs identified in that room. I did not see any active
bed bugs today and the tenet said it is getting better. Once an initial visit is conducted, we do two more
follow up visits on top of the regular visits to see how the treatment is working. Bed bugs hide under the
baseboards. There are two options for treatment of bed bugs, chemical spray or heat treatment, this facility
is using the spray treatment. A lot of facilities opt for that treatment because the heat treatment is costly.
The chemical treatment requires more treatments, where the heat treatment is a one and done solution.
Once the room is sprayed, the bed bug will go through the spray and pick up its spores and transfer it back
to the colony so it can take four - seven days for it to be effective and

V13 stated prior to a visit for active bed bugs, the facility has to strip everything, bag all linen, including the
curtains, wash and dry it. There can't be anything in the closets or against the baseboards when the room
is sprayed. Once the room is sprayed the resident has to remain out of their room for 4 hours and then they
