Extended Stays

Extended stay properties operate differently than traditional hotels. Longer guest occupancy, frequent turnover, and apartment-style layouts create more opportunities for bed bugs to spread between units if not addressed quickly and thoroughly.

An infestation doesn’t just affect one room — it can impact multiple units, disrupt occupancy, and lead to costly downtime and negative reviews. For extended stay operators, fast, complete elimination is critical to protecting revenue and maintaining guest confidence.

Heat treatment provides a chemical-free, whole-room solution that penetrates furniture, mattresses, and hidden harborage areas in a single treatment cycle. Our recommended bed bug heater systems are designed to help extended stay properties respond quickly, minimize disruption, and eliminate bed bug infestations the first time.

Explore the heater systems and other solutions we recommend for extended stay hotels and protect your property with a solution built for multi-unit environments.
