Rodents are never welcome guests in your hotel. All it takes is for one guest to spot a mouse scurrying across the lobby floor, or some droppings in their room, for your reputation to take a serious hit. This is why you need keep rodents as far as possible from guest spaces. This may sound daunting but it’s not as difficult as you may think. It starts with having a Fort Worth rodent control expert on standby for regular treatment and inspections.

Look For Signs of Infestation

Keep a close eye on your hotel property for any signs of rodents so you can stop the spread before it starts. Early indicators of rodents in your hotel include droppings around baseboards, in closets, or at the back of pantries or cabinets.

Check these areas regularly with a flashlight so you can identify and quarantine rodents before they can multiply and spread to other areas of the property.  

Seal Off Rodent Entrance Points

Mice can get in through the tiniest of openings, even ones the size of a quarter. Fully inspect your property for cracks or openings, and have your pest control professional in Fort Worth seal up entrances rodents could use to get inside. You will also want to inspect all doors and windows for gaps, as well as around the foundation for cracks.

Check heating, ventilation, and electrical wiring and ductwork where rodents could gain access to your hotel. Your local pest prevention expert can identify vulnerabilities in your property and prevent outside invaders.

Clear Crumbs and Standing Water

Rodents, like other pests, will enter your hotel for three things: water, warmth, and food. Inspect your kitchen, eating areas, or food service areas for crumbs and food droppings. Clean them up immediately. Secure and clean trash and garbage areas frequently to prevent rodents from feasting on midnight snacks.

Standing water also draws in rodents, so look for this around leaky pipes in bathrooms and kitchens or around air conditioning units.

Educate Staff

Your staff members are the front line of defense against rodents. Educate them on the early signs of pest problems, and let them know they should reach out right away when a rodent infestation is suspected.

Hold regular training sessions with them alongside a Dallas pest professional. Make sure they are informed on what to look for and what they should do if they notice an infestation.
