Mobile is the birthplace of American Mardi Gras (1703, older than
New Orleans) and hosts one of the largest Carnival weeks in the United States. Downtown
hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, and visiting-friend stays during Mardi Gras week
drive an annual February spike in bed bug introduction. The ADAI-licensed operators we
dispatch handle rapid-response heat or chemical treatment for hotels and homes.

Why Mardi Gras week is a bed bug pressure peak

Heavy hotel turnover with travelers from across the US and abroad.
Many Mobile homes host out-of-town guests, often using luggage that traveled
through other infested venues.
Float warehouses, krewe dens, and parade staging spaces — high-traffic, often
long-vacant — sometimes harbor populations year-round.
Costume rental, used-furniture, and second-hand shops see increased traffic.

Pre-Mardi Gras prep (for hotels and homes hosting guests)

Inspect mattress piping, box-spring seams, and headboard joints for dark fecal
staining or live bugs.
Use mattress encasements on guest beds.
For hotels, schedule pre-event canine inspection (our technician handles).
For private homes hosting guests, ensure guest luggage is staged off carpet and
off upholstered furniture.

Post-Mardi Gras protocol

Inspect guest rooms within 48 hours of guest departure.
Launder all guest-room textiles on hot wash and dryer cycle.
If activity is confirmed, isolate the affected area and call dispatch immediately.
Heat treatment is the fastest single-visit option for hotels seeking to re-rent
quickly.

Mardi Gras 2026 dates

Mobile’s Mardi Gras parades run from Joe Cain Day through Fat Tuesday. Bed bug pressure
typically begins ramping in late January and peaks the week of Mardi Gras. The Mardi Gras
season formally ends on Ash Wednesday; bed bug introduction continues through the spring
beach-season transition.
