Rats
Rats are one of the most common pests faced within the hospitality industry and are attracted to food preparation, storage, and waste areas. Their numbers can quickly build if action isn't taken. Rats can contaminate food and surfaces they touch.
Signs of Pest: Droppings, Gwaning Damage, Shredded Material, Disrupted Food & Unpleasant Smell
Mice
Just like rats, mice can spread diseases such as hantavirus, salmonella, and Weil's Disease, as well as contaminating food and surfaces. Mice, however, will tend to stick to quieter areas of your hotel and aren't quite as daring as rats
Signs of Pest: Droppings, Gnawing Damage, Shredded Material, Disturbed Food
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are basically impossible to prevent and will make their way into your hotel via employees and guests. Bed bugs will leave guests with itchy bites and can cause panic among guests.
Signs of Pest: Bites, Blood on Sheets & Pillows, Dark Spots of Excrement on Sheets & Musty Odour
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are synonymous with filth and pose a significant threat to staff and hotel guests as they carry numerous diseases such as salmonella, staphylococcus and have even been known to play a role as carriers of intestinal diseases such as dysentery, cholera, and typhoid fever.
Signs of Pest: Unusual Smell, Droppings & Smears Marks on Horizontal Surfaces
Wasps
While wasps might not be the dirtiest pest you might come across within your hotel they can still pose a threat to public health and safety if found to be nesting in your building. Wasps can breed quickly and when disturbed can sting with little provocation.
Signs of Pest: Sightings, Larvae, Buzzing Sounds, Damaged Wood
Flies & Flying Insects
There are more than 120,000 different species of flies around the world, with 7,000 species within the UK. Flies are often considered pests as they can spread pathogens and parasites posing a major health risk.
Signs of Pest: Regular Fly Sightings, Maggots, Small Dark Spot Clusters on Walls
Fleas
Fleas are usually only found when there are other animals around as they require an animal host to survive. Within the UK, fleas don't commonly carry diseases or pathogens but can, and only really cause intense & irritating bites. A flea infestation within a hotel could signal that there are adequate host animals for them to live and breed on.
Signs of Pest: Small Red Bite Marks, Flea Sightings, Flea Droppings
Pigeon
Pigeons are one of the most nuisance birds you'll find nesting around your hotel premises. Not only do they make a mess but they can also cause structural damage as they look for places to roost as they knock roof tiles and block gutters. Birds can also carry a number of diseases such as Ornithosis, E.coli and Salmonella.
Signs of Pest: Nesting Birds, Noise from Birds, Droppings, Nest Debris
Ants
Ants aren't generally a nuisance within the UK and the most common type (Garden/Black ants) aren't known to carry diseases. The problem ants pose is where they've been, if they find their way into your cupboards and food preparation areas it could lead to contamination.
Signs of Pest: Ant Sightings, Sawdust Trails, Damaged Wooden Structures, Rustling in Walls

Hotel Rooms & Other Public Areas
Bed bugs, fleas and other biting insects pose a recurring problem for hotel accommodation, with hotel rooms a perfect breeding ground for these biting insects.
Bed bugs are basically unpreventable due to the way in which they make their way into your hotel, but once in your hotel environment they can make their way around easily hitching rides on laundry and bedding and even just crawling from room to room via crevices in walls and floors in search of food. Bedbugs can be detected using bed bug monitors or by ensuring housekeeping staff are trained to spot signs of bedbugs -this is the best way to prevent bedbugs.
As well as bed bugs, your hotel rooms and other public areas can be susceptible to other pests. Fleas, moths and carpet beetles can all take up residence within your hotel using mattresses, carpets and linens as their home. If you spot signs of pests within your hotel rooms and other areas, get in touch with our team who can help to deal with the problem using innovative solutions such as non-chemical heat treatments.
Kitchen, Bar & Restaurant Areas
Hotel businesses are required to abide by stringent food safety and environmental health and safety laws. As part of these laws, hotels are expected to actively control pests and prevent infestation. It is the duty of the hotel to ensure a safe environment for customers, employees, and anyone else that visits your premises.
Kitchens and food preparation areas must follow specific legislation regarding food safety and prevent contamination by pests under general hygiene practices. Pests such as rats, mice, flies and cockroaches can pose a high risk of spreading diseases such as hantavirus, salmonella & Weil’s disease within kitchen and dining areas. Proactive pest control is the most effective way to ensure these areas are pest-free. We offer a wide range of services and solutions to help deal with and prevent infestations throughout your hotel food preparation areas.

Hotel Pest Control - Frequently Asked Questions
Pest control in hotels is important as it ensures that the hotel premises remain pest-free, helping to prevent the transmission of diseases that can cause public health issues. Failure to do so can result in serious legal consequences including the closure of your business.
We will always aim to be as discreet as possible when visiting your premises for pest management services, however, this isn’t always 100% possible as our vehicles are liveried and we will require access to some more popular guest areas of your hotel depending on your pest problem.
