Bed Bugs (continued from page 4) Director-At-Large Distribution Wondering who your Chapter’s Director-at-Large is, under the new IEHA landscape? Check out the Director-at-Large distribution list below: sistent monitoring. It’s important that housekeeping regularly checks hotel room “hot spots” for bed bug activity because guests are continuously coming in and out of rooms and the hotel, and these nuisance bugs can travel with them on their clothing and belongings. That way, if an infestation occurs, it will be on a much smaller scale and can be dealt with quickly and with minimal impact to your guests’ stay. If it goes undetected until it’s too late, you’ll have a bigger public relations disaster on your hands, so it’s better to take preventive measures early. The partnership formed between your housekeeping staff and pest management specialist will ensure you are doing all you can to manage and prevent infestations in an efficient and effective manner. The earlier problems are addressed and preventive action is taken, the better off you’ll be. Your guests will enjoy their stay and return back for their next trip. And you’ll rest easy knowing bed bugs won’t be biting tonight.
