Hotel & Motel (Lodging Industry) Pest Management

It’s no doubt that your patrons are worried about this infection as more and more cases are hitting the news each day. Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to prevent due to the fact that your patrons, typically those who travel internationally, are the ones bringing them in with their items. Realize that bed bugs can live for several months without feeding, so those who travel regularly are at a higher risk of bringing these pests with them.

The most iconic hospice pest showcased in movies around the globe is the cockroach. These creatures are nocturnal and tend to group around places where there is food that’s easily accessible. These are places like kitchens, bars, and buffet lines.

Fleas are another pest that tend to be brought in from your patrons and their pets. These creatures can create real problems when it comes to the safety of your guests. Not only do they leave irritating bite marks, but they can also actually carry bacteria and viruses.

Mice and rats are highly attracted to the hotel industry due to their food supplies and waste storage areas. If your business is lacking in properly handling your waste and food practices, you could have a large spike in a rodent population. Realize that these are not only dangerous to your reputation but can also be a major health hazard for your patrons as rodents can carry a range of diseases.
