Florida’s summer tourism boom is great for business — but it also brings an unwelcome guest: bed bugs. These tiny pests don’t just show up in homes. Hotels, vacation rentals, furnished apartments, and even office spaces are all at risk, especially during peak travel season.
And for businesses, a bed bug problem isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a reputation risk. One bad review or social media post can lead to lost bookings, negative press, or unhappy tenants. That’s why staying ahead of the problem is so important.
Where Do Bed Bugs Hide in Commercial Spaces?
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers. They don’t care how clean or upscale your property is — they’re just looking for a ride in on a suitcase, backpack, or delivery box. Once inside, they can settle into:
- Guest room mattresses, bed frames, and upholstered chairs
- Office lounges, waiting rooms, and shared conference spaces
- Curtains, carpets, and even tiny wall crevices
Clean doesn’t mean immune — even spotless properties can be vulnerable without the right prevention plan.
How to Protect Your Business
Here’s how to reduce your risk and stay ahead of potential infestations:
- Train your team — Housekeeping, maintenance, and front desk staff should know the signs: black specks, shed skins, or tiny reddish bugs.
- Schedule regular inspections — Focus on high-traffic and guest areas.
- Declutter storage and office spaces — Fewer hiding spots = fewer problems.
- Act fast on complaints — The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
And when you need help, Turner Pest Control is ready to act fast.
Why Professional Help Makes All the Difference
DIY sprays and store-bought solutions rarely work — and can even make things worse by scattering bed bugs deeper into hiding. At Turner Pest Control, we offer discreet, commercial-grade solutions that include:
- Thermal Remediation (bed bug heat treatments) — A single-day treatment using mobile heat units and sensors to ensure every part of the space reaches the temperature needed to eliminate bed bugs.
- Chemical bed bug treatments — Effective for active infestations, backed by a 30-day warranty and a follow-up visit to ensure complete extermination.
- Preventative bed bug control — Budget-friendly, proactive treatments that include inspections, mattress liner options, and guaranteed retreatments if needed.
Our technicians will guide you through space preparation, monitor the treatment process, and apply preventative barriers when necessary — all with minimal disruption to your business.

We understand that time is critical. That’s why we offer after-hours service to reduce disruption and get your business back to normal quickly.
