Pest Control for Hotels, Inns and Short-Term Rentals
In lodging, one sighting can become a public review by the next morning. Robbins Pest Services provides discreet, documented pest control for hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts and short-term rentals in Greater Portland and the Lakes Region, with a program designed to find problems before a guest does.
What lodging properties face in Maine
- Bed bugs, which arrive in luggage and are not a sign of poor housekeeping
- Mice in fall and winter, particularly in older inns and seasonal properties that sit empty
- Ants and spiders in ground-floor rooms and lake properties in summer
- Wasps and hornets around entrances, decks and outdoor seating
- Flies and pantry pests in breakfast and kitchen areas
A program built around guest rooms
- Scheduled inspections of guest rooms on a rotation, with attention to beds, headboards and upholstered furniture
- Monitoring in kitchens, laundry, storage and housekeeping areas
- Exterior and foundation exclusion before the fall rodent season
- Opening and closing inspections for seasonal properties
- A clear response plan for a guest report: inspect the room and the rooms around it, confirm, treat, and re-inspect before the room is returned to service
Housekeeping is your early warning
Housekeeping staff see every room every day. We show your team what early signs look like and give them a simple sighting log in the logbook, so that a report reaches us quickly and with a room number and date.
Discreet by default
Visits are planned with your manager, and inspection and treatment are carried out with as little visibility to guests as the work allows.
Licensed and documented
Robbins Pest Services holds a Maine Commercial Master Applicator license (CMA-6319). Every commercial customer receives a logbook that is kept on site and updated at each visit, so the record is ready whenever an inspector, auditor or owner asks for it. Assessments are free, and you receive a firm quote before any work starts.
Frequently asked questions
A guest reported bed bugs. What should we do?
Take the room out of service, leave the bedding and furniture in place, and call us. We inspect that room and the adjoining rooms, confirm whether bed bugs are present, and give you a written plan before anything is moved.
How often should guest rooms be inspected?
It depends on occupancy and history. Many properties inspect a rotating share of rooms at each visit so that every room is covered over the season.
Do you service seasonal inns and lake rentals?
Yes. Opening and closing inspections are the two most useful visits for a seasonal property, because mice move in while it sits empty.
What records do we keep?
An on-site logbook with every visit report, room-level findings, the device map, staff sighting logs, and product labels and safety data sheets.
How is a lodging program priced?
By the number of rooms and buildings, the areas covered and the visit frequency. The assessment is free and you get a firm quote before any work starts.
