Bug/Pest control for short-term rentals

Hi there,

We recently bought a 24-unit building in Florida that rents to guests by the week.  As you can imagine, some guests are cleaner than others and as a result we sometimes have issues with bugs.

In the past the property manager has set off a fogger after each person leaves, but honestly that's something I'd like to try to avoid doing as much as possible. I'd prefer to not poison our guests if we can get away with it lol.

I think we have our options for bedding sorted out (bed and pillow covers) but are looking for options besides fogging for the room in general.

Does anybody have experience with this?  If so, it would be great to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!
Robert.
