Read the New York Times article regarding the prevalence of the Bed Bug problem

According to the National Pest Management Association, a trained and knowledgeable hotel staff is one of the best lines of defense, along with having regular pest control inspections, to prevent bed bugs from infesting your property and ruining a guest(s) stay.

As national media coverage continues to focus on the increase in bed bug cases nationwide, we developed a webinar program to educate New York State’s lodging properties about bed bugs and how to effectively integrate a bed bug management program at your property.

Be proactive and sign up today for this session. Invite as many staff members to participate as you would like!

Highlights of Webinar

  • How to train housekeeping and maintenance staff to identify problem
  • Best in-house techniques for eliminating bed bugs. Did you know bed bugs have developed a resistance to many modern pesticides?
  • Difference between primary and secondary infestations
  • How to effectively manage calls from guests and the media
  • Developing written information to guests (e.g. who to contact if they suspect problem)
  • How to properly maintain records of complaints and inspections. This will be crucial if property is sued by guest(s).
