Bed Bug Infestation Recovery
Business Interruption and Extra Expense Coverage for Bed Bug Infestations (BBIR)
(Lodging Facilities)

 

Decontaminating a single infested room in a facility can cost as much as $3000, many times requiring multiple treatments. One small infestation can quickly turn into multiple affected rooms and consequently destroy a brand name. For years, lodging facilities have been faced with trying to budget for the unpredictable nature of bed bug events. With the Bed Bug infestation Recovery Program (BBIR) offered by PLIS, Inc., the lodging industry can sleep a little easier knowing that there is coverage available for the loss of revenue, decontamination expenses and extra expenses associated with bed bug infestations. Listen to our podcast interview for more insight on this program and our Bed Bug Liability Program (BBL).
