Commercial Pest Control

Hotel, B&B & Short-Term Rental Pest Control

For Finger Lakes lodging — hotels, B&Bs, and short-term rentals — a single bed bug incident can end a booking stream through reviews. Nolan Pest Control provides discreet, fast-response bed bug protection and pest control for guest lodging, with documented treatment, follow-up, and guest-incident protocols that protect both guests and your reputation.

Lodging lives and dies on reviews, and no pest threatens a review like a bed bug. Guest turnover is constant, belongings travel in and out daily, and a single infested room can spread and generate the kind of public complaint that costs far more than the treatment. For hotels, B&Bs, inns, and the large short-term-rental inventory around Seneca Lake and Watkins Glen, proactive protection is simply cheaper than a damaged reputation.

We provide discreet, responsive service for Finger Lakes lodging — routine inspection and monitoring, fast response to a suspected incident, thorough treatment with the required follow-up, and documentation you can rely on. The goal is simple: protect the guest experience and keep the listing earning.

Why bed bugs are the lodging pest

Bed bugs travel in luggage and belongings, which means every guest is a potential introduction — through no fault of the property. Once in a room, they hide in mattress seams, headboards, and baseboards and can spread to adjacent rooms. Because their eggs resist many treatments, a single spray fails; real elimination requires thorough treatment and a follow-up. And because a guest who encounters one will often say so publicly, the reputational cost dwarfs the treatment cost.

The other lodging pests — mice pushing in each fall, wasps near entrances in summer, small flies in kitchen and breakfast areas — matter too, but bed bugs are the one that demands a protocol: monitoring to catch introductions early, fast discreet response, thorough treatment, and documentation for the incident file.

Guest safety, food service & documentation

Lodging with any food service — a B&B breakfast, a hotel restaurant or breakfast bar — falls under the same Sanitary Code food-service principles as restaurants: the space must be kept free of vermin with effective, documented control. And any guest-facing operation benefits from a documented pest-management program in the event of a guest incident or claim.

We provide the documentation, monitoring records, and treatment history that support both food-service compliance and guest-incident response. (General information; confirm specific requirements with your local health department.)

Pricing

Lodging service is priced by property size and room count and is best arranged as a recurring monitoring and protection program, with bed bug incident response either included or quoted per event.

Bed bug treatment is always quoted as a program including the required follow-up, because a single visit doesn't end an infestation.

Hotels & STRs pest control — frequently asked questions

How do I protect my hotel or STR from bed bug reviews?

Proactive monitoring plus fast, discreet incident response. Catching introductions early and treating thoroughly (with follow-up) before they spread is far cheaper than the reviews a visible incident generates.

A guest reported bed bugs — what happens?

We respond fast and discreetly, inspect and treat the room and adjacent rooms, complete the required follow-up, and document everything for your incident file. Speed and documentation both matter.

Can service stay completely discreet?

Yes. We keep vehicles and visits low-profile — essential for lodging, where the appearance of a pest problem is itself the problem.

Do bed bugs mean my property is dirty?

No. Bed bugs travel in on guests' belongings and infest even spotless, high-end properties. It's about exposure and turnover, not cleanliness — which is why monitoring matters.

Do you cover the breakfast or restaurant area too?

Yes. Food-service areas fall under Sanitary Code principles and get the same roach, fly, and rodent control and documentation as a restaurant.

Do you serve short-term rentals, not just hotels?

Yes. The large STR inventory around Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake is bed-bug exposed through guest turnover, and we protect listings the same way we protect hotels.

How often should lodging be inspected?

A recurring monitoring schedule fits most properties, with frequency set by room count and turnover. High-turnover STRs and hotels benefit from more frequent inspection.

What areas do you serve?

Finger Lakes lodging around Watkins Glen, Montour Falls, Ithaca, and the Seneca and Cayuga lakes, plus the surrounding towns.
