When you work in hospitality, your reputation is everything. Whether you run a restaurant, hotel, casino, or event venue, pests can cause serious problems. They damage your inventory, put your guests at risk, and hurt your standing in the community.
As commercial pest control experts serving Spokane, WA and Coeur d'Alene, ID, we understand what’s at stake for your business. One pest sighting can lead to bad reviews, lost customers, and even failed health inspections.
The hospitality industry covers a wide range of businesses. Each one faces unique pest challenges. Our team has the training and experience to handle them all.
Industries We Serve
Restaurant Pest Control
Restaurants face some of the toughest pest control challenges of any business. You’re dealing with food, water, and warmth: everything pests need to thrive. A single cockroach spotted by a customer can destroy years of hard work building your reputation.
We know you can’t shut down during dinner rush, so we work around your busiest times. Restaurant cockroach control is among our most requested services, and we take it seriously.
Hotel Pest Control (& Our Bed Bug Treatment for Hotels)
Hotels face a special kind of pest challenge. Guests come and go every day, and any one of them could unknowingly bring pests with them.
Bed bugs are the biggest worry for most hotel managers, and for good reason. These tiny pests hide in mattresses, furniture, and luggage. They also spread fast and are very hard to get rid of without professional help.
We build a complete pest management program that covers every part of your property, from guest rooms to back-of-house areas.
Motel Pest Control
Motels face many of the same challenges as hotels, but often with tighter budgets and smaller staff. But that doesn’t mean you can afford to cut corners on pest control.
Bed bugs are a major concern for motels, just like hotels. Our bed bug treatments are thorough and discreet. We work quickly to minimize disruption to your guests and your revenue. Regular inspections and treatments help you stay ahead of problems before they hurt your business.
Resort Pest Control
Resorts offer guests a complete experience, from dining and entertainment to lodging and outdoor activities. That means more areas where pests can become a problem. Resort pest control covers a lot of ground (literally).
Outdoor spaces like pools, gardens, and patios can attract mosquitoes, wasps, and ants. Indoor areas like restaurants, spas, and guest rooms need protection from cockroaches, rodents, and bed bugs.
Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach looks at your entire property as a whole.
Casino Pest Control
Casinos are typically open around the clock, serving food, hosting guests, and creating the kind of environment pests love. Casino pest control requires a partner who understands 24/7 operations and can work without disrupting your business.
Discretion is especially important in casinos. A pest sighting on the gaming floor can quickly become a social media disaster. We work fast and stay out of sight, so your guests never know we were there.
We build a complete pest management program that addresses every part of your operation.
Venue Pest Control
Venue pest control presents a unique challenge because your space may sit empty for days or weeks, then suddenly fill with hundreds of guests and catering services.
Pests take advantage of quiet periods to move in and set up shop. Then, when the food and people arrive, they come out of hiding. Our approach to venue pest control focuses on keeping pests away between events, so you’re always ready for your next big booking.
Pests We Look Out For
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are the most feared pest in the hospitality industry, and for good reason. They spread bacteria that cause food poisoning and other illnesses. They trigger allergies and asthma in some people. And they’re difficult to eliminate once they establish a colony.
Rodents
Rats and mice cause serious problems for hospitality businesses. They contaminate food with their droppings and urine. They chew through wires, creating fire hazards. They gnaw on packaging and inventory, costing you money. And they spread diseases that can make your guests and staff sick.
Flies
Flies may seem like a minor nuisance, but they’re actually a serious health threat. They land on garbage, sewage, and rotting food, then transfer bacteria to every surface they touch. A fly landing on a plate in your restaurant can contaminate the entire meal.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs have made a major comeback in recent years. They travel in luggage, clothing, and used furniture. Once they get into a hotel or motel, they spread quickly from room to room. They hide during the day and come out at night to feed on sleeping guests.
Laws and Regulations to Consider
Washington State
Under the Washington State Food Code, businesses must take effective measures to minimize pests on the premises. This includes controlling entry points, proper food storage, waste management, and working with licensed pest control professionals when needed.
Health inspectors look for signs of pest activity during routine inspections. Evidence of rodents, cockroaches, or flies can result in point deductions, required corrective actions, or even immediate closure in severe cases. Repeated violations can affect your license to operate.
At Eden Advanced Pest Technologies, all of our technicians are properly licensed and trained to follow state regulations.
Idaho
Like Washington, Idaho requires commercial pesticide applicators to be licensed through the Idaho State Department of Agriculture. Violations of pesticide laws can result in fines and legal action.
Health inspections in Idaho look for evidence of pests, including droppings, gnaw marks, live or dead insects, and other signs of activity. Establishments with pest problems may be required to take corrective action immediately and schedule follow-up inspections.
Working with a licensed pest control professional helps you stay in compliance with all state and local regulations. We keep detailed records of all inspections and treatments, which you can provide to health inspectors if needed.
