Bed Bugs in Assembly Worker Accommodation

How do bed bugs get into assembly rooms?

A tool­box, work bag, or back­pack is often enough to bring a few of the­se tiny para­si­tes unno­ti­ced into accom­mo­da­ti­on. Par­ti­cu­lar­ly cri­ti­cal: fit­ters often stay over­night in dif­fe­rent cities, on chan­ging con­s­truc­tion sites – an ide­al cycle for the unwan­ted spread of bedbugs. Even a sin­gle infes­ted room can beco­me the source of a lar­ger pro­blem if not­hing is done.

Neigh­bor­ing accom­mo­da­ti­ons can also be affec­ted. Bedbugs are flat and mobi­le – they migra­te through cracks, socket strips, and along pipe­lines. If an infe­sta­ti­on in a room is not detec­ted ear­ly, the ani­mals can easi­ly colo­ni­ze sur­roun­ding are­as.

How to recognize a bed bug infestation?

Ear­ly detec­tion of bedbugs is cru­cial to pre­vent rapid spread in fit­ter’s rooms:

Fecal traces on bed and mat­tress

Small, dark brown spots along seams, on the slat­ted frame, or on sheets indi­ca­te bedbugs.

Blood sta­ins on the sheet

Tiny traces of blood can occur from crus­hing the ani­mals at night.

Itchy bites in guests

Typi­cal are red­dish, lined stit­ches – often on arms, legs, or back.

Hid­den mol­ting remains

Emp­ty shells of the lar­val stages are some­ti­mes found in cracks or mat­tress folds.

Sweetish-mus­ty smell

A stron­ger infe­sta­ti­on can be detec­ted by an unu­sual­ly sweet room odor.

Visi­ble ani­mals during tho­rough inspec­tion

Some­ti­mes adult ani­mals or lar­vae can be found in hiding places.

What are the consequences of a bed bug infestation in assembly worker apartments?

An infe­sta­ti­on of bedbugs in fit­ter’s rooms can cau­se eco­no­mic dama­ge and loss of image.

Dis­sa­tis­fac­tion among guests

Itchy bites, dis­com­fort, and dis­tur­bed sleep lead to com­plaints and can­cel­la­ti­ons of the stay.

Nega­ti­ve online reviews

Guests often make their anger public – this dama­ges the repu­ta­ti­on and boo­king situa­ti­on in the long term.

Loss of boo­kings

Com­pa­nies avo­id infes­ted accom­mo­da­ti­ons – espe­ci­al­ly if bad expe­ri­en­ces beco­me known.

Expen­si­ve fol­low-up cos­ts

The lon­ger the infe­sta­ti­on lasts, the more com­plex the con­trol beco­mes – up to the dis­po­sal of fur­ni­tu­re.

Claims for dama­ges

In com­mer­cial accom­mo­da­ti­ons, a pro­ven infe­sta­ti­on can have legal con­se­quen­ces.

A quick, pro­fes­sio­nal action is the­r­e­fo­re cru­cial to avo­id eco­no­mic dama­ge and guest loss.

Why Thermo-bug® is the safest solution

Ther­mo-bug® was deve­lo­ped to address exact­ly this: effec­ti­ve, wit­hout che­mi­cals, fast and relia­ble. The method is based on con­trol­led heat – and that is exact­ly what makes it so effec­ti­ve. At tem­pe­ra­tures abo­ve 50 °C, the pro­te­in in the bodies of bedbugs, lar­vae and eggs coagu­la­tes. This means that the enti­re deve­lo­p­ment cycle of the ani­mals is inter­rupt­ed – wit­hout poi­son, wit­hout resi­dues, wit­hout long down­ti­mes for the accom­mo­da­ti­on.

In con­trast to sprays or baits, which requi­re repea­ted appli­ca­ti­ons and often do not cover all deve­lo­p­ment stages, Ther­mo-bug® works relia­bly with a sin­gle appli­ca­ti­on. Even resistant bedbug strains, against which many che­mi­cal agents no lon­ger help, are com­ple­te­ly des­troy­ed by heat.

Ano­ther advan­ta­ge: Ther­mo-bug® is mobi­le and fle­xi­ble – ide­al for sin­gle rooms, enti­re flo­ors or even pre­ven­ti­ve use with chan­ging occu­p­an­cy. The appli­ca­ti­on is car­ri­ed out by cer­ti­fied spe­cia­lists and is abso­lut­e­ly harm­less to humans and mate­ri­als when used pro­per­ly.
