A major UK train operator asked AGS Pest Control to investigate persistent bed bug reports on a long-distance train. In busy, multi-occupancy environments like trains, infestations spread quickly and can harm passenger comfort and brand reputation.
Background
Repeated sightings suggested resistance to earlier treatments or a hidden source on board. Continuing reactive treatments risked prolonging the issue, causing further disruption and passenger dissatisfaction.
The Work
Following the canine assessment, AGS implemented a targeted treatment plan using controlled heat and specialist insecticidal sprays.
This integrated approach enabled thorough treatment of all identified hotspots and ensured full eradication of bed bugs across affected carriages. Work was timed around train availability, minimising disruption and maintaining a smooth passenger experience.
Result
- All active infestations were located and treated, preventing further spread.
- The proactive canine investigation delivered rapid, carriage-wide insight without the need for disruptive inspections.
- Targeted treatment created minimal disruption to passengers and staff, with maximum efficacy.
- The successful outcome reinforced AGS’s reputation as a trusted provider for complex pest management solutions in transport environments.
