MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS AND HOTELS
Washington DC and the Metropolitan area are taking 2nd place in the US for bedbug infestations after New York City and tied with Chicago.CANINE BEDBUG INSPECTION
Inspections by our bedbug sniffing dog can provide a level of assurance and a tangible show of due diligence on the part of property managers. American Pest Control offers full building, systematic inspections to detect bedbugs before they cause you a problem.If you have had a bedbug scare, a single report, or many reports; a wave of fear spreads through multi-family dwellings and the reputation of a hotel can be ruined. Most unfortunately, in multi-family dwellings, for every person who reports possible bedbugs, there may be many others who do not complain. Elderly persons or persons with impaired health may not be sensitive to bites, therefore infestations become grossly out of control and effect many neighboring apartments. In hotels, a guest may not know they encountered bedbugs until days or weeks later, and may not connect the dots to your hotel; in the meantime the room is still infested.
Apartment resident's are sometimes frightened to report bedbugs if they believe they may have brought them in and fear repercussions. Unfortunately some tenants have been evicted or made to pay for treatment. You should be aware that the District of Columbia Health Department, Montgomery County and Prince George County stand firmly with the tenant in holding the property manager accountable for obtaining prompt remedial treatment AND inspections of surrounding units.
The Bedbug Conference held at the Senate in 2009, brought direct attention to the problem of bedbugs and government agencies became aware of the importance of prompt treatment and building inspections to prevent wide spread infestation to neighboring units. If property managers promptly respond to tenant complaints and arrange for inspections and treatment in a timely manner, you will be in the good graces of these Health Department agencies. If you fail to do so they will mandate action with a limited period of time to comply.

A cost effective “Canine Bedbug Inspection” can save you thousands of dollars in treatment cost by early detection of infestations before they spread.

American Pest Control also offers an extraordinary bedbug treatment with a one year guarantee but you are not obligated to engage our company for treatment. Half of the cost of inspection will be applied to the cost of treatment if you choose American Pest Control.HOTEL AND HOSPITALITY MANAGERS
When American Pest Control performs a canine inspection for bedbugs in your hotel, we provide a certificate indicating it's status and a "paw of approval" if no infested rooms show up. This Paw of Approval certificate comes with a 90 day service warranty that states we will treat any room that is confirmed as having a bedbug infestation, after Lil' Suzy has cleared it free of charge, within the warranty period. If Lil'Suzy finds bedbugs then we can offer our services in eliminating them, as our treatment includes a one year guarantee, and then Lil' Suzy's Paw of Approval can apply to all of the rooms inspected.
