Hotel Pest Control Procedures

Keeping your staff informed of the common places pests become problems, and how to handle it, is your best line of defense after a routine pest inspection from a pest professional.

  • Check hotel lobbies and other entryways. Install door sweeps and keep landscaping well maintained.
  • Guest rooms should be thoroughly inspected. Staff should look for signs of bed bugs in various hiding spots (head boards, behind picture frames, under carpet, etc.).
  • Seal all food containers in kitchens and make sure spills and other food messes are quickly cleaned up. Inspect food shipments as they come in.
  • Repair any laundry room leaks and regularly sweep up lint and debris.
  • Keep dumpsters far from hotel entrances. Frequently sanitize the interior and surrounding areas.

Bed Bugs in Hotels

Most pests that are found in hotels are easy to prevent. Bed bugs, on the other hand, are much more difficult due to their hitchhiking nature. With travelers coming from all over, and a high rate of turnover, there are numerous opportunities for bed bugs to find their way into one of your rooms every day. In the hotel and hospitality industry, your best form of protection is to be proactive with frequent inspections.

This includes training your staff on how to detect a bed bug problem before a guest does. Employees that are in guest rooms or the laundry room should regularly check and inspect bed sheets, pillowcases, mattresses, headboards and even other room furniture like chairs and curtains for signs of bed bugs.
