With bed bug infestations up more than 16.9% versus prior year*, more and more hospitality customers are looking for bed bug pest control. Unfortunately, we can’t stop bed bugs from entering a customer facility, but we can offer solutions to help reduce their risk and total cost. Customers are recognising the benefits of partnering with a company that offers proactive bed bug treatment options. On average, customers that have been on a proactive bed bug programme for at least one year are seeing a 21%** reduction in bed bug infestations.
Proactive bed bug programmes should include a targeted inspection that looks at the areas most at risk of bed bug harbourage including the headboard, back of night stands, carpet edge behind the bed, and upper corners of the box spring, bed frame, and the mattress (inspection only).
Key Components of a Proactive Bed Bug Programme Include:
1. Room Access/Customer Prep
2. Inspection and Treatment
3. Room Tracking
