Common Bed Bug Risk Factors for Businesses

Do you have employees? Do you have clients? Then yes, you are at risk for bed bugs. The harsh reality is that our area has a bed bug problem, and if a single employee exposes your office and your staff, you could be facing a serious crisis. 

Customers being an exposure risk can also come into play, depending on the type of business practices. 

Business is booming and your staff is growing?  Bed bug exposure can be a bit of a numbers game, but given the densely populated problem, the more people you have on staff, the higher your risk factor is. 

We also see an increased exposure risk for those that have a high rate of temporary staff / agency supplied staff, as well as work from home staff. 

Customer Service is your Motto? 

Your customers and very business model can be putting you at an increased risk. If customers frequently come to your office, or if you store or transport customer belongings or bring equipment in and out of homes – you are at risk! In house visits and consultations can also increase exposure risk. 

Space matters? The set up of your office, including call center floors, common areas, cubicle areas, manufacturing and production floors can all be at an increased risk of bed bugs.
