Live expert session
Bed Bugs Don’t Sleep:
Proven defense strategies to protect your business.

A bed bug incident could move faster than you expect. One confirmed sighting can disrupt operations, damage customer trust, and create brand damage that lasts long after the infestation itself. Join Rentokil® commercial bed bug experts for a live session on building a plan before you need one.

Bed bugs are a business risk.
Bed bugs do not follow a season. They travel in on guests/residents, staff, deliveries, and returned items, and they can reach any facility at any time of year. Many businesses do not have a response plan until a sighting forces one, and by then operations may already be disrupted.

This live session covers what a bed bug program looks like before an incident, and how facilities teams in high-traffic and customer-facing environments reduce the disruption when one occurs. It is practical guidance from the people who manage these situations every day.

What the session covers:

  • How incidents escalate and where costs land
  • Warning signs and commonly missed introduction points
  • How integrated pest management and rapid
    response limit spread
  • Low-disruption treatment options
  • Questions to ask before signing a service contract
