Stark Service Solutions, LLC, Launches New Expert Bed Bug Inspection & Tracking Tool

Online, December 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The bed bug problem is showing up everywhere, even in the most exclusive hotels and resorts. This is due to the fact that bed bugs are not a hotel sanitation issue; they are carried in by travelers. However, the burden of addressing this growing problem is squarely in the hands of hotel management. Experts agree that one of the best lines of defense in preventing and containing infestations is regular inspections by properly trained housekeeping staff. To assist the hospitality industry in this effort, Stark Service Solutions, LLC, announced today the introduction of their platform to document Bed Bug Inspection activity with their Housekeeping & PM Touch System™ Module.

The content for the Stark Bed Bug Inspection has been created in cooperation with ORKIN, the leading experts of pest prevention and elimination, to provide hoteliers with the very best inspection results. The Stark software application, the Housekeeping PM Touch System™ Module, which avails real-time tracking, documenting, and monitoring inspection activity, is endorsed by the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute.

Stephen Barth, Founder of HospitalityLawyer.com, comments on the legal concerns that bed bugs present to hoteliers. "It is not enough today to just exercise reasonable care; an innkeeper must also be prepared to demonstrate their efforts to provide reasonable care to the guest. The proper tracking, particularly the contemporaneous tracking of training, audits, and inspections is paramount in those efforts."

Naomi Stark, President of Stark Service Solutions, LLC, comments, "The housekeeping staff that are in the rooms every day is the first line of defense in identifying and containing an infestation. Early detection and following proper procedures limit liability and elimination costs. We went straight to the leading experts of bed bug prevention, detection, and elimination to create an expert inspection. Making this simple and effective inspection available through our Housekeeping & PM Touch System™ Module is the obvious answer to the challenge of being able to quickly and easily manage and maintain proper documentation and schedules. Its mobile compatibility is especially beneficial as it allows supervisors to document inspections right from the guest room in real-time. We know this solution is the missing piece to the industry's desperate need for new weapons to win their battle against bed bugs."

In addition to being an extremely cost effective option, the Stark system reduces labor costs that hotels spend on manual tracking. It is also well-suited with the environmental efforts of the hospitality industry as it is a paperless system.
