We Help Ensure Every Hotel Stay Is Positive

Whether you’re operating a hotel, resort or vacation rental, the last thing you want is for your guest to leave unhappy. Even one pest experience can tarnish your hotel’s reputation, decrease bookings and risk the health and safety of staff and customers. Pests can also cause extensive damage to your property, resulting in even more costs and headaches. 

With the prevalence of bed bugs, cockroaches and rodents within the hospitality industry, it’s essential to be proactive when it comes to pest control. Orkin Canada’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program provides hospitality pest control with a comprehensive assessment, preventative measures, regular monitoring and effective treatments to evict unwanted pests and ensure your establishment is professionally protected against the threat of pest infestations.

Common Hospitality Pests

With high guest turnover rates, the possibility of pests being brought in through luggage and personal belongings are quite high within the hospitality industry. The constant influx of people also provides ample opportunities for pests to find food and shelter. Once inside a hotel or motel room, a pest infestation can spread rapidly – making sanitation and pest control even more important. Here are some of the most common pests to keep an eye out for within your hotel or motel property.

Hospitality Pest Control FAQs

Why is pest control important for hotels?

Certain pest species may transmit pathogens, can cause discomfort, cause structural damage and may leave your guests with a negative experience. Therefore, pest management is important for hotels because:

  • It prevents structural damage – e.g. rodents chewing on electrical wires can start a fire, staining walls in a guest’s room.
  • Makes guests feel more comfortable during their stay. The presence of pests on your property may not be a welcoming sight for guests.
  • Reduces health and safety issues caused by pests.
  • Maintains your business’ reputation.
  • Minimizes stress during audits – third party auditors or local health departments.

How often should a hotel undergo pest control treatments?

Every hotel must have an integrated pest management (IPM) program in place to prevent the occurrence of pests and control active pest infestations. This program service must be either monthly, biweekly or weekly services depending on the pest pressure of the hotel (bed bugs, rodents, birds etc.). 

What should I do if there is a major pest infestation in my hotel?

If there is a major pest infestation within your hotel, it is important to contact a pest control professional, such as your local Orkin Pro, immediately to avoid the pest issue spreading to other areas of the hotel. Do not attempt to do in-house pest control, as it can be challenging or may make the problem worse. Working together with your pest control professional to effectively control the pest issue is essential. It is also important to put preventive measures in place to avoid future pest infestations.

What should housekeeping staff do to help prevent pests?

  • Educate staff to recognize the most common pests within hotels, what they look like, and what the common signs of an early infestation are.
  • Look out for pest signs during day-to-day housekeeping services.
  • Report immediately to management if they see pest activity.
  • Practice good housekeeping practices, good sanitation and maintenance practices to prevent pests. 
  • Refrain from moving cleaning carts from suspected infested rooms to other rooms to prevent spreading pests, especially in cases of bed bug infestation.
  • Using guidance of an expert pest control provider, pick up a sample of “pest activity” for confirmation of pest.

What pest control products are used in hotels?

There are a number of factors that may be considered when your Orkin Pro implements a pest control program. These factors include, but may not be limited to the pest species in question, level of infestation/size of the pest population, where the infestation is within the facility.

Treatment options can range from bait stations to dusting products to even liquid applications. This will all be decided by the Orkin Pro after a thorough inspection has been conducted.

Does Orkin Canada use insecticides in hotels?

Orkin Canada uses an integrated approach when managing pests in hotels, which can be a combination of exclusion, physical controls such as using mechanical devices, heat and steam treatments, and even vacuuming. However, the selective use of insecticide products is crucial for effective and successful control for some pests such as bed bugs, ants or cockroaches. Orkin Canada uses insecticide products in hotels only when necessary and needed, with selection of the most environmentally friendly products.
