Bedbugs in offices and commercial premises: an invisible risk to business

Bedbugs are most commonly associated with residential homes or hotels, but in recent years they have been increasingly found in offices, co-working spaces, retail and service premises . It is a problem that can affect the well-being of employees, reputation and even business continuity.

  • Through the clothes and bags of employees or customers.

  • With used furniture or soft armchairs.
