Bed Bug Guides for Property Managers

A documented bed bug prevention program costs $150–$250 per unit per year and cuts confirmed infestation events by 40–65% per 1,000 units — the exact same documentation also wins habitability counterclaims when an event does occur. See how the ROI plays out in our full Prevention ROI pillar, then read the real-world follow-up in the prevention ROI case study.

The AI bed bug scanner converts a tenant-submitted or inspector-taken photo into a dated verdict-record in under ten seconds — no appointment, no $300 fee.

The case study builds directly on the math from the prevention ROI pillar and the method from the scanner vs traditional pillar. Read the full prevention ROI case study.
