Workforce housing turnover drives bed bug and cockroach calls
Man camps, extended-stay housing and short-term rentals tied to oil-patch employment see steady pest pressure as workers rotate in and out.

Bakken oil-patch worker housing turning over fast enough to keep bed bug and cockroach calls steady, harsh prairie winters pushing rodents into man camps and homes alike, and an industrial base that runs around the clock. Our AI systems keep every call captured while your crews work the Williston Basin.
