Integrated pest management for hotels
To effectively and sustainably manage pests in hotels, employing a combination of diverse methods that work in harmony is key to prevent their return. Here are the four primary tactical approaches that can be implemented by us:
Biological controls
Biological pest control involves harnessing the power of pests’ natural enemies to safely eliminate them. This approach can include employing natural heat treatments to eradicate fleas, cockroaches, beetles, or moths. Biological pest control methods frequently offer a more effective and safer Examples include the use of highly trained sniffer dogs to hunt for bed bugs, precisely locating their hiding spots, and using heat or steam treatments to effectively eliminate the insects.
Cultural controls
Cultural control revolves around comprehending how operational procedures enable pests to flourish and implementing necessary modifications. By understanding these factors, we can make adjustments to improve pest management. For instance, in the case of rodent issues, our free assessment will identify how pests gain access to food and water sources. Based on our findings, we will recommend enhanced practices to restrict their access. For bed bug problems, we prioritise education by instructing your housekeepers on how to identify signs of bed bug presence. Empowering your staff with knowledge equips them to act swiftly when bed bugs are in your hotel.
Physical controls
Mechanical or physical controls encompass various methods that directly eliminate pests, prevent their entry, or create an inhospitable environment for them. These controls are instrumental in pest management. For instance, the use of traps serves as a physical control for rodents, while UV fly traps efficiently catch flies in kitchen areas. Additionally, identifying the entry points through which pests infiltrate the premises is a crucial aspect of mechanical control. This information enables us to implement measures to block their entry whenever feasible, effectively fortifying the environment against pest intrusion.
Chemical controls
Chemical control is the use of pesticides. We only use chemicals if they are the most effective method, and they are always used in combination with other approaches as part of a long-term solution. We know that most of our customers ask for non-toxic solutions, which is why, for most pest types, we have higher-impact, non-chemical treatments available. Where chemicals are needed we use them in a highly controlled and safe way.

Bed bug heat treatment
Bed bug heat treatment is a bed bug eradication process that utilises heat to kill bed bugs. Heat treatment, if done correctly by a professional, is 100% effective at eliminating all bed bugs. The bed bug heat treatment process involves heating a room to over 50 degrees Celsius for over 90 minutes. Bed bugs cannot survive the heat treatment in any stage of their lifecycle, from egg to adult. Discover the benefits and cost of bed bug heat treatment by clicking the button below.
