  • Bed Bug Search

    While it can take hours for a human to search through an entire room, tearing apart furniture and ripping out floor boards to visually locate these offending bugs, dogs can smell the presence of live infestations in a given area within minutes.

    We are not a pest control Company and have the hotels best interest at heart. saving you time, loss of earnings and loss of reputation.

    Proactive approach

    This, if planned as a workable system, can prevent litigation.

    It would clearly show a duty of diligence towards your staff and clients. A full yearly plan of scheduled visits will need to be documented with further back up search reports provided when each of the searches have been completed. This paper trail would be utilised in any court action taken against your company and be admissible in court as a safeguard to any action against your hotel group. LAPA personnel would also be available as expert witnesses in any court case.

    Reactive approach

    If an infestation is reported to LAPA CONTROL, an immediate search team is dispatched to ensure that the spread of the bugs is kept at a minimum. (4 Hour response) We are conscious that we are working for your hotel(s) in helping you find and eradicate infestations as quickly as possible and have a responsibility to stem any additional costs that may be built on by the pest company without due justification. We understand the need to define where the bugs are and that we can identify the rooms concerned and give clean bills of health to surrounding rooms both to the side of the infected room and adjacent to it.
