Does your business need bed bug control?
Bed bugs are a growing issue across the U.S., and for commercial properties, even a small infestation can quickly become a major business risk. In multifamily housing, offices, hospitals, schools, and other commercial facilities, bed bugs can spread rapidly, leading to lost revenue, damaged reputation, upset guests or employees, and regulatory concerns. From inspection and targeted treatments to ongoing monitoring and prevention strategies, our commercial bed bug treatment services are designed to help protect your business while minimizing disruption to your operations.
- Because bed bugs are expert hitchhikers, prevention requires more than awareness. It requires a proactive plan and a quick, professional response.
- Rentokil US partners with property managers and commercial facility leaders to deliver discreet, efficient bed bug control backed by industry expertise.
Eliminate bed bugs at your business
Rentokil uses a tailored mix of targeted service protocols, precise applications, and specialized products to help eliminate bed bugs and provide ongoing protection.
Vacuuming
Our experts can use commercial-grade vacuuming equipment to physically remove visible bed bugs and eggs from affected areas. This immediate population reduction helps contain activity quickly, limit spread to adjacent units or rooms, and support an efficient treatment process.
Residual treatment
Targeted residual treatments can be used as part of a comprehensive bed bug management plan for commercial properties. Our technicians apply professional-grade products to cracks, crevices, and high-risk areas where bed bugs hide and travel.
Heat treatment
Our commercial bed bug treatment experts may use heat treatments to elevate temperatures in affected areas to eliminate bed bugs. This method penetrates walls, furnishings, and hard-to-reach spaces where adults, nymphs, and eggs may be inside.
Comprehensive coverage that's right for your business
All commercial bed bug treatment services start with a comprehensive inspection to determine the level of bed bug activity and the best treatment option for your business. Recurring inspections are also available to help detect early signs of bed bug activity before it escalates into an infestation.
Because every business is unique, we offer tiered protection plans tailored to your risk level, industry requirements, and operational needs. Choose from our Inspection Plan, One-Time Service Plan, or Recurring Maintenance Plan to help protect your property and prevent bed bugs from disrupting your tenants, staff, or reputation.
- Our Inspection Plan starts with a detailed pre-service inspection to identify signs of bed bug activity, assess the severity of the infestation, and recommend the most effective treatment approach.
- Our One-Time Service Plan includes an initial corrective treatment designed to address active bed bug activity, followed by a scheduled follow-up service 7–10 days later to help ensure the treatments were effective. This plan also includes a 30-day guarantee, providing added peace of mind after service.
- Our Recurring Maintenance Plan is designed for long-term protection and early detection. It includes a detailed pre-service inspection, K-9 inspection during the first service, and annual residual treatments. This plan also includes unlimited callbacks and additional service as needed, along with an ongoing guarantee that remains active as long as you maintain the plan.

Does my business have bed bugs?
The sooner bed bug activity is identified, the easier it is to contain the spread, minimize disruption, and protect your reputation. Train staff to recognize these common signs of bed bugs in your business:
- Live bed bugs in mattress seams, upholstered furniture, baseboards, or cracks and crevices
- Small reddish-brown stains on sheets, furniture, or walls caused by crushed bugs
- Dark spotting or smears (fecal stains) along seams, headboards, outlets, or wall joints
- Shed skins (exoskeletons) left behind as bed bugs grow
- Tiny white eggs or eggshells in hidden areas
- A musty, sweet odor in heavily infested spaces
- Employee, tenant, or guest complaints about bites or sightings
If any of these signs are present, a prompt professional inspection is essential to prevent bed bugs from spreading to adjacent rooms, units, or offices.

Yes, in certain industries, a business can be temporarily shut down due to a bed bug infestation, especially if health departments or regulatory agencies determine there is a risk to public health. Healthcare facilities, hospitality properties, and multifamily housing are particularly vulnerable to inspections, violations, or mandated remediation. Beyond potential closure, bed bugs can lead to lost revenue, tenant or guest complaints, negative reviews, legal claims, employee disruption, and long-term reputational damage.
The cost of commercial bed bug extermination varies depending on property size, level of infestation, and the treatment methods required, such as heat or residual applications.
