Bed Bug Basics

🔬

What Are Bed Bugs?

Flat, oval, reddish-brown insects roughly the size of a lentil. They're nocturnal blood-feeders that hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, and furniture crevices during daylight. They don't fly or jump—they crawl and hitchhike.

How They Spread

Bed bugs are world-class stowaways. They travel in suitcases, purses, used furniture, and clothing. They're found in five-star hotels and budget motels equally. Bringing one home is easier than most people think.

Our Elimination Protocol

Detailed Inspection

We meticulously examine sleeping areas—mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, nightstands, and nearby baseboards. We document live bugs, eggs, shed skins, and fecal spotting to determine infestation scope.

Targeted Treatment

We apply residual products to surfaces bed bugs traverse, dust cracks and crevices where they harbor, and directly treat identified hiding spots. Treatment is focused on high-activity zones for maximum effectiveness.

Scheduled Follow-Ups

Bed bug eggs take 7-10 days to hatch and survive most treatments. We return to eliminate newly emerged nymphs before they can mature and breed. Standard infestations require 2-3 treatments spaced appropriately.

Bed Bug FAQ

Should I throw out my bed?
Not necessarily. Most mattresses and box springs can be treated successfully and then protected with encasements. We recommend disposal only when items are severely infested or already in poor condition.
Do bed bugs carry diseases?
Bed bugs haven't been proven to transmit pathogens to humans. However, bites cause itching that can lead to secondary infections from scratching. The psychological toll—anxiety, lost sleep, embarrassment—is often more impactful.
Why can't I just buy spray and do it myself?
Retail products rarely reach bed bugs hiding deep in furniture and walls. Improper treatment can scatter them to other rooms or cause resistance. Professional methods use products and techniques that target the entire population systematically.
How should I prepare for treatment?
We'll give you specific preparation instructions. Key steps: launder bedding on high heat, declutter around beds, and don't move items to other rooms. Moving infested items spreads the problem.
