Hotels live and die on online reviews — and a single bed bug photo is fatal.
Hospitality pest control is the highest-stakes vertical in the metro. One guest photo of a bed bug, a cockroach in a breakfast buffet, or a mouse in a lobby corner lives on TripAdvisor, Google, Booking.com, and Expedia forever. Bed bugs in particular are an existential business threat — not because they damage the property, but because they damage the brand. Traditional treatments require 2-3 day room evacuations, visible chemical staging, heat-treatment equipment in hallways, and guest relocations that every other guest on the floor notices.
ProTech runs hospitality accounts across the Indianapolis market — downtown convention-district properties near the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, airport-corridor hotels along Executive Drive and the I-70 ring, Keystone at the Crossing and Clay Terrace business-travel properties, extended-stay operators in Plainfield and Greenwood, and boutique/historic properties in Fountain Square, Mass Ave, and Broad Ripple. Every property gets an account plan built around its flag-brand audit cycle, occupancy pattern, and housekeeping-integration protocols — not a generic 30-day route.
We're one of the few Indy-metro operators certified in Aprehend® — an EPA-registered biopesticide spray that clears bed bugs without evacuation, heat, or visible chemical staging. A treated room can be re-rented the same night. For a hotel GM doing the math on a 3-day lost-revenue evacuation versus a discreet overnight treatment, Aprehend isn't a feature — it's the product that protects your ADR and your reviews simultaneously.
Every hospitality format across the Indianapolis metro.
Full-service flagged hotels, limited-service, extended-stay, resorts, boutique, historic, and short-term commercial rental — we've built discreet pest programs around each format.
Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, IHG brand-family properties with restaurants, banquet, and multi-floor layouts. Programs aligned with brand QA audit checklists and flag-specific pest documentation requirements.
Hampton, Holiday Inn Express, Fairfield, Comfort, Courtyard, and similar mid-tier business-travel properties. Focused programs for breakfast buffet, guest rooms, laundry, and back-of-house.
Homewood Suites, Residence Inn, Staybridge, Candlewood, and similar properties with in-room kitchens. German roach pressure in kitchenettes, pantry pests, and longer-guest-stay bed bug hitchhiking risk.
High-turnover properties near the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, and Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Volume-driven bed bug introduction risk from conference and event traffic.
Indianapolis International Airport and Executive Drive corridor. International and multi-city traveler volume raising bed bug and stored-product pest exposure.
Older building stock with structural exclusion challenges — century-old brickwork, unsealed utility penetrations, wood-frame attic access. Bespoke IPM tuned to historic-preservation constraints.
On-site lodging at country clubs, golf resorts, and event-venue properties. Coordinated programs across multiple kitchens, lodging wings, and grounds.
Operator-owned Airbnb-adjacent commercial rental portfolios. Between-guest turnover inspection protocols and rapid-response bed bug service between bookings.
Motels, budget properties, corporate housing, university-area lodging, event venues with overnight rooms — if it's a commercial hospitality operation in the Indianapolis metro, we build discreet pest programs for it. Tell us your flag, your occupancy pattern, and your audit cycle.
Every pest service a commercial hospitality property actually needs.
No residential side-calls. Every hour of our week is commercial pest management — with an emphasis on the discreet, guest-facing protocols hospitality requires.
Commercial Bed Bug Treatment with Aprehend®
Bed bugs are the #1 operational and reputational threat to a hotel. ProTech is one of the short list of Indy-metro operators certified in Aprehend® — an EPA-registered fungal biopesticide that clears bed bugs without room evacuation, without heat-treatment equipment in the hallway, and without the visible chemical staging guests notice. A treated room can be re-rented the same night. Up to three months of residual protection, kills both adults and eggs, and works through brand-audit-ready documentation protocols.
- ✓No room evacuation required
- ✓Kills eggs + adults
- ✓Up to 3 months residual
- ✓Discreet for guests and staff
German roach programs for extended-stay kitchenettes, hotel F&B kitchens, and laundry rooms. Gel baiting and IGR protocols that resolve pressure without visible staging in guest areas.
View service →Fruit flies at the lobby bar, breakfast buffet, and pool-area F&B. Drain fly diagnostics in back-of-house and phorid fly source identification. Treated at the biofilm, not the surface.

View service →Recurring interior/exterior program bundling monitoring, reporting, and full-spectrum pest coverage. The base agreement every hotel account starts from.
View service →What Indianapolis-metro hotels actually face.
Regional pest patterns across downtown, airport, Keystone, Carmel/Clay Terrace, and suburban hotel corridors — what we see on service calls, by pressure type and property format.
The defining hospitality pest. Hitchhike in on guest luggage from prior travel stops — not from property sanitation. Aprehend® is the only treatment that keeps a room in inventory without evacuation. Every hotel bed bug protocol should include adjacent-room inspection, mattress encasement verification, and housekeeping training on early detection indicators (blood spotting, shed casings, live bugs in seam-lines).
Pressure concentrated in warm, humid back-of-house — hotel laundry rooms with constant moisture, F&B kitchen equipment interiors, and in-unit kitchenettes at extended-stay properties. Guest-brought introduction via shopping bags and suitcases is common at extended-stay and business-travel properties. Gel baiting with IGR is the resolution path.
Rodents follow the dumpster trail and loading-dock gaps into back-of-house. Urban and downtown properties face constant Norway rat pressure from alley networks; suburban airport hotels face house mouse pressure from surrounding landscape and field edges. Exclusion and tamper-resistant monitoring are required — never interior rodenticide in guest-facing areas.
Fermenting-sugar breeding sources in hotel F&B — beer-line drip pans at the lobby bar, juice dispensers on the breakfast buffet, overripe fruit displays, soda-gun nozzles. Eight-day life cycle compounds pressure fast. Source-based protocol with nightly sanitation integration resolves it.
Pharaoh ants are the pest that most commonly gets made worse by the wrong product. Repellent sprays cause the colony to bud — splitting into multiple satellite colonies that spread through the property. Non-repellent bait (specifically for pharaohs) is the only sustainable protocol. Common rescue call from properties that used the wrong national-chain treatment.
Often misidentified as drain flies but breed in moist organic matter below floor slabs — usually a leaking sewer line or compromised grease trap. A phorid fly problem at a hotel is usually a plumbing problem. Source identification tells you whether you're calling a pest control company or a plumber.
September through November at Indianapolis latitude, overwintering pests accumulate on warm south and west-facing building exteriors. Guest-room windowsill accumulation is a visual complaint issue. Late-summer perimeter exterior treatment prevents the fall guest-room complaints.
Hotel exterior landscaping — especially high-visibility valet-entry and porte-cochère plantings — faces spider mite pressure during hot/dry stretches. Curb-appeal matters for hospitality. Landscape pest coordination with grounds crews maintains the visual presentation guests see on arrival.
Hospitality pest pressure in the Indianapolis metro varies by subformat — bed bug introduction risk is year-round but spikes during Indianapolis 500 week, Big Ten tournaments, Gen Con, and NCAA Final Four events that bring high-volume national traffic. Rodent pressure climbs aggressively October through February. F&B fly and ant pressure compounds May through September. Service frequency and protocol gets built around your event calendar and occupancy rhythm — not a generic route.
Documentation built for the audits hotels actually get.
ISDH lodging inspections, county health department F&B inspections, brand-flag QA audits, and insurance documentation all want pest records in specific formats. We produce them on every visit.
Brand-Flag QA Audits
Hilton QA, Marriott GQA, Hyatt brand standards reviews, IHG IMS, and Choice Hotels MQA all require documented pest management programs with specific recordkeeping. Our service documentation matches what brand auditors want — service date, products applied, rooms/areas serviced, pest activity observed, and corrective-action notes. We've produced reports for every major flag QA framework.
ISDH Lodging Inspection
Indiana State Department of Health oversees hotel lodging inspections alongside county-level partners. Documentation addressing the pest-control requirements in ISDH lodging rules — including structural exclusion, guest-room monitoring, and corrective-action records — is built into every service report.
Marion County & Surrounding Counties
Hotel F&B operations (restaurants, breakfast bars, banquet kitchens) fall under Marion County Public Health Department or the equivalent Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone, Hancock, Madison, Shelby, or Morgan county health department. Reports match the format each jurisdiction expects for food-protection inspections.
FDA Food Code 2022
Indiana adopted FDA Food Code 2022. Our IPM program, product choices, and documentation for hotel F&B operations align with the Chapter 6 pest-management requirements inspectors reference. Separate documentation tracks maintained for F&B versus lodging service areas.
Liability & Insurance
Bed bug litigation is a documented hotel-industry exposure. Every service we perform is timestamped, itemized, product-documented, and digitally archived — the evidence your general liability carrier wants if a guest claim ever lands. Aprehend® treatments in particular carry detailed room-level service records.
Management Company & Corporate Reporting
Hotel management companies (Aimbridge, Pyramid Global, HHM, Crescent) and ownership groups frequently require consolidated multi-property pest reporting for asset review. We produce management-company-formatted rollups across Indianapolis-metro portfolios with individual-property detail retained.
How we protect your hospitality property.
On-Site Inspection
We walk the full property — lobby, guest floors, housekeeping flow, laundry, F&B, loading dock, exterior, and roof access. Map conducive conditions and pressure specific to your build-out and occupancy pattern.
Custom Hospitality Plan
Service scope, frequency, room-access protocols, housekeeping integration, and documentation format built around your flag-brand audit cycle, management-company requirements, and occupancy rhythm.
Discreet Treatment
Aprehend® for bed bug response without evacuation, low-toxicity IPM in F&B and BOH, and tamper-resistant exterior/dock programs. All service scheduled around guest sightlines and housekeeping flow.
Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting
Digital service logs, room-level treatment history, trend tracking, and audit-ready reports every visit. Management-company rollup reporting for multi-property operators.
Indianapolis-metro hotel, resort, and extended-stay operators.
We had a guest-reported bed bug complaint on a Tuesday morning before a 90-room group block checked in Thursday. ProTech came same-day with Aprehend, treated the original room plus adjacent rooms, and we never pulled inventory. That would have been a 3-day evacuation with our previous vendor. Our group-booking revenue stayed intact.
Our breakfast buffet had a chronic fruit fly issue that two national chains kept 'fogging' without ever fixing. ProTech traced it to a specific juice dispenser drip tray in twenty minutes on their first visit. Gone within a week. They also produce documentation that actually passes our brand QA audit without a follow-up call.
We operate seven extended-stay properties across Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, and Plainfield. ProTech handles all of them with the same technician rotation and consolidated monthly reporting. The German roach pressure in our kitchenette units — which was chronic with our prior provider — is now basically gone. Saved us on both guest complaints and brand audit findings.
