Our Bed Bug Treatment Options
1. Heat Treatment (Thermal Remediation)
Overview: Heat treatment is one of the most effective and eco-friendly ways to eliminate bed bugs in all life stages including eggs. How it works? We raise the temperature of the affected area to 130–140°F for several hours, using industrial heaters and sensors to ensure uniform heat penetration.
2. Steam Treatment
Ideal for localized infestations, steam is a chemical-free option that delivers immediate results on exposed surfaces like mattresses, couches, and carpets.
3. Chemical Treatments
For larger or recurring infestations, our chemical applications are EPA-approved and applied strategically for both immediate knockdown and long-term control.
4. Fumigation (Severe Cases Only)
In extreme or resistant infestations (e.g. multi-unit housing, warehouses), we may recommend whole-structure fumigation using sulfuryl fluoride.
Signs You May Have a Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs are experts at hiding and by the time you notice bites or marks, the infestation may already be well established. Early detection is key to avoiding costly damage, widespread outbreaks, and extended treatment times.
Here’s how to recognize the warning signs:
Physical Evidence to Watch For
- Bite Marks: Small, red, itchy welts often in lines or clusters usually appearing on arms, legs, neck, or back.
- Fecal Stains: Small black or dark brown specks on mattress seams, sheets, baseboards, or walls. These are digested blood.
- Shed Skins & Eggs: Pale yellow skins or translucent eggs (1mm) may be found near nesting areas.
- Live Bugs: Adult bed bugs are small (4–5mm), reddish-brown, and oval-shaped, often hiding in mattress seams, electrical outlets, and cracks in the wall.
Behavioral Clues & Psychological Effects
- Bites Only at Night: Bed bugs are nocturnal, feeding during sleep, often unnoticed at the time.
- Disrupted Sleep: Waking up itchy, anxious, or with unexplained welts.
- Anxiety & Stress: Many people suffer significant emotional distress due to infestation. Fear of reinfestation or embarrassment is common.
- Phantom Biting Sensation: Even after bugs are gone, many people report feeling as if they’re still being bitten, a common psychological side effect.
Advanced Detection Methods
If you’re unsure whether you’re dealing with bed bugs or another pest, we offer expert inspection services using:
- Certified Canine Detection Teams: Specially trained dogs with over 95% accuracy.
- Visual Inspection: Conducted by trained technicians using high-powered LED lights.
- Monitoring Traps: Interceptor devices placed near beds and furniture to detect activity over time.
Don’t Wait — Bed Bugs Multiply Fast
A single female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime. The longer you wait, the harder and more expensive it becomes to eliminate the infestation.
