Hotels and resorts don’t get the same margin for error that other businesses do. A guest who spots a bed bug, a cockroach, or a rodent isn’t just going to complain at checkout. They’re going to post about it. Pest control for hotels isn’t optional, and waiting until there’s a visible problem is already too late.
Ehlers works with hotels, motels, and resorts across Milwaukee, Racine, and Southeastern Wisconsin to keep properties protected before problems start and respond fast when they do.
For the best pest control in the hospitality industry from a local company – contact Ehlers. We’ll go the extra mile to solve your pest problems once and for all.
High guest turnover, frequent deliveries, and constant foot traffic create more entry points for pests than almost any other type of property. Bed bugs travel in luggage. Rodents follow food service areas. Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid spaces behind walls and under equipment.
The pest problems hotels deal with most often aren’t random. They’re predictable, and they’re preventable with the right ongoing approach.
We don’t show up, spray, and leave. Our process is designed to find the actual source of the problem and address it in a way that’s minimally disruptive to your guests and staff.
That means we’ll assess what’s present and how significant it is, identify exactly where pests are coming from, put preventative measures in place to stop re-entry, and eliminate active infestations using treatments that are safe for guests, staff, and the building.
Every service plan is customized to your property’s layout and operations.
Ehlers uses an Integrated Pest Management approach for all commercial pest control services in the Milwaukee area. IPM isn’t a single treatment method. It’s an ongoing process that prioritizes finding the root cause of a pest problem and addressing it in the most targeted, effective way possible, using chemical treatments only when necessary.
We start by learning about your property, your operations, and what you're dealing with so we can build the right plan for your facility.
Assess
We inspect your property to identify what pests are present, where they're coming from, and how significant the problem is.
We implement the right combination of treatments and preventative measures to eliminate active pests and stop more from getting in.
We review the results, monitor for any continued activity, and adjust the approach as needed to make sure the problem stays solved.
Treatment handles what’s already inside. Pest proofing keeps more from getting in. Select the pest(s) you’re dealing with below and request a solution.
Bed bugs are one of the most common and most damaging pest problems hotels face. They travel easily between rooms, they hide in places that are easy to miss, and by the time a guest notices one, the problem is rarely contained to a single room.
If you find or suspect bed bugs at your property, don’t wait. The sooner it’s addressed, the easier and less disruptive the treatment process will be.
Common hiding spots to check: mattresses and box springs, carpeting, upholstered furniture, and electronics near sleeping areas.
Ehlers will inspect your property, confirm the extent of the problem, and treat it thoroughly while keeping disruption to your guests to a minimum.
Treatment handles what’s already inside. Pest proofing keeps more from getting in.
We inspect your building’s exterior for the gaps, cracks, and structural vulnerabilities pests use to enter and seal them using materials matched to your property. For hotels, this is especially important around loading areas, kitchens, utility access points, and ground-floor room entries.
How Common Are Bed Bugs in Hotels?
Bed bugs are one of the most common hotel pests, with hotels being one of the top three most common places pest control professionals find bed bugs, according to pestworld.org.
Are Bed Bugs Still a Problem in Hotels?
Yes, and they’re unlikely to go away on their own. The combination of frequent new guests and the way bed bugs travel makes hotels particularly difficult to keep clear without a proactive, ongoing pest management plan.
How do Hotels Keep Bed Bugs Out?
Regular inspections, staff training on early warning signs, and professional pest proofing are the most effective combination. Reactive treatment alone isn’t enough.
