Prevention Starts at Check-In: How Hotels and Resorts Can Make a Lasting First Impression with Pest Control

In the hospitality industry, first impressions are everything. From the scent in the lobby to the crispness of the linens, every detail sends a message about quality and care. But there’s one silent disruptor that can undo all of it in seconds: pests.

For hotels and resorts, pest prevention isn’t just a back-of-house issue—it begins at the front desk. A guest’s check-in experience sets the tone for their entire stay, and spotting a bug in the lobby, a rodent near the valet, or a trail of ants by the elevator can quickly overshadow even the most luxurious amenities.

That’s why more hospitality leaders are turning to proactive, commercial pest control providers like Sprague to support their brand reputation from the very first hello.

Hospitality Runs on Trust—Pest Prevention Helps Protect It

When travelers choose your property, they’re trusting you with their comfort, health, and safety. Pests jeopardize all three. Beyond the immediate discomfort or disgust, pest sightings can spark bad reviews, health department citations, or worse—lost bookings.

With routine inspections, trend analysis, and preventative treatments, Sprague helps eliminate issues before guests ever know they existed. From high-traffic common areas to behind-the-scenes kitchens and housekeeping storage, we ensure every square foot of your operation meets the highest cleanliness standards.

First Impressions Begin at the Threshold

A comprehensive pest control program starts well before a guest enters their room. Our team understands that entry points, landscaping, valet stations, luggage carts, and lobby furniture are all key risk zones for pest activity.

We partner with hotel managers and facility directors to:

  • Monitor and mitigate pest pressure from the exterior inward
  • Train housekeeping and engineering staff on early pest warning signs
  • Create inspection protocols that align with daily guest traffic and service patterns

The result? Peace of mind for your team and a seamless, spotless welcome for your guests.

Hospitality is 24/7. So Are Pest Risks.

The fast-paced nature of the hotel industry—with frequent deliveries, continuous occupancy turnover, and varied foodservice offerings—makes consistent pest monitoring essential.

At Sprague, we use real-time data, digital monitoring tools, and customized service plans to stay ahead of potential infestations. Whether you operate a boutique resort or a multi-property franchise, our solutions scale to meet your needs without disruption to your guests.
