Hotels

The wide range of facilities in hotels is particularly challenging when pests start to pose a health risk – rather than just being a nuisance . BASF pest control solutions address these problems and limit the cost of damage caused by rodents and insects.

Usual issues

A worrying resurgence in bed bug infestations

Bed bugs were no longer considered a problem after World War II. However, a number of factors, including mass international travel and increasing resistance to insecticides have recently put them firmly back on the list of commonly found pests. Small independent hotels and large hotel chains are equally at risk of bed bug infestation. These pests may be introduced into the premises inadvertently, making prevention difficult. Bed bugs are particularly adept at hitching a ride on guests, staff members and laundry contractors and they can even travel in suitcases and hotel linen.

Multiple environments at risk of pest infestations

Hotels consist of a range of different premises , including bedrooms, bar, restaurant and breakfast room, public areas, laundry, storage areas and offices. The combination of shelter, warmth, food and water is highly attractive for a number of different pests. Rodents and cockroaches are frequently found in kitchen and food stores, or near waste disposal units. Cockroaches also thrive in bathroom and kitchen drains. Ants and flies can be a nuisance in public areas and suggest a problem with cleanliness.
