Meridian Care homes & healthcare

Care that
holds up to inspection.

Zero-COSHH chemistry means no exclusion zones. Continuous monitoring means no surprises. And a one-click CQC pack — Regulation 12 plus Regulation 15 — means the inspector finds the evidence already compiled, in the format they ask for.

Why care, specifically

CQC scrutiny is cumulative.

A Regulation 12 pest finding does not stay in the inspection report. It cascades.

Reg 12

The finding cascade

A pest sighting, observed or reported, can trigger a Regulation 12 finding under "Safe care and treatment". A finding triggers an action plan, a re-inspection, and public reporting on the CQC website.

15,500

UK CQC-registered care homes

Across approximately 460,000 bed spaces. Pricing power is highest in this sector because the regulatory consequence of a finding is largest — and the chemistry restrictions are tightest.

60 days

Provider switching window

Operators receiving a Regulation 12 pest control finding typically switch providers within 60 days of the published report. The current provider's failure becomes a procurement decision.

The Meridian approach

Low-density. Non-invasive. Resident-aware.

Care home estates need a sensor plan that respects resident routines and a chemistry that does not displace them.

Perimeter + sentinel coverage
8 – 14 sensors per 60-bed home

Skirting boards, wall-floor junctions, behind furniture, electrical outlet backs. Sentinel placement at food prep, medication room, laundry, and entry corridors.

Treatment timed to the schedule
resident activity-aware

Treatment cadence runs around mealtimes, medication rounds, and visit hours. Timing is co-ordinated with the registered manager and recorded in the chain alongside the treatment.

Zero-COSHH chemistry
no exclusion zones · no displacement

InsectoSec DE and PelGar Sumilarv 0.5G — both zero-COSHH at exposure level. Treatment can occur during occupancy. There is no four-hour re-entry interval to clear the wing.

Inspector-ready CQC pack
one-click · Reg 12 + Reg 15

The CQC pack compiles directly from the chain. Registered managers can preview at any time — including before an unannounced inspection.

Authorised actives only

Why this matters Vulnerable populations — the elderly, end-of-life residents, those with respiratory conditions — cannot be displaced for a four-hour re-entry interval. A pyrethroid spray near a medication room is itself a Regulation 12 concern in some inspector readings. Removing the chemistry hazard removes the question.
Regulatory context Statutory pest-control obligations under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (and CQC Regulations made thereunder), the COSHH Regulations 2002, and the Food Safety Act 1990 (where applicable to care home kitchens) remain with the registered provider. Meridian provides continuous monitoring, zero-COSHH treatment evidence, and Regulation 12/15 compliance output to support those obligations; it does not discharge them.
