Bed bug exterminator near you
Bites in a line down your arm, rust-colored specks on the sheet. Bed bugs hide where sprays don’t reach, which is why store products so rarely finish them. Call and we put you through to a local company that treats the whole room and comes back to check.
- Real person answers, day or night
- Same-day visits in most areas
- Price agreed before work begins
- No obligation
Is this what you have?
The signs
- Itchy bites in lines or clusters, often on the arms, neck or legs
- Small rust or red stains on the sheets and pillowcase
- Black pepper-like specks along the mattress seam and box spring
- Flat brown bugs about the size of an apple seed in seams and headboard joints
- Pale shed skins near the bed frame
- A sweet, musty smell in a badly affected room
Heads up. Don’t move the mattress or sleep in another room, and don’t set off a fogger. Both scatter bed bugs deeper into the walls and into rooms that were clear.
On the day
What the technician does
- Inspection
Mattress, box spring, frame, headboard, nightstands, baseboards and outlets, to map how far it has spread.
- Heat or targeted treatment
Heat brings the room to a temperature that reaches every life stage including eggs. Where heat isn’t practical, targeted residual products are used in the harborages.
- Encasements and laundering
Mattress and box-spring encasements plus a simple laundry routine stop anything that survived from re-establishing.
- A follow-up visit
A return visit confirms it is finished. Ask what the company’s re-service terms cover before you book.
Practical
Getting ready, and what it runs
Preparation
Bag the bedding and clothes and run them hot, then a hot dryer. Don’t throw the furniture out — that spreads it and usually isn’t needed. You’ll be given a preparation list.
One visit or ongoing
Treated as a short project: first treatment plus one or two follow-ups. In an apartment building the neighboring units often need checking too.
What moves the price
- How many rooms are affected
- Heat treatment or conventional treatment
- How heavy the infestation is and how much clutter there is
- Whether follow-up visits are inside the quoted price
Questions
Bed bugs — questions we get a lot
Who do I call for bed bugs?
Call (833) 784-1375 and we connect you with a local bed bug company. Ask specifically whether they offer heat treatment and what the follow-up includes.
Can I deal with bed bugs myself?
Store sprays kill what they touch and miss the eggs and the ones inside the frame and wall void. Most attempts end with a wider problem than the one they started with.
How did I get them?
Luggage, second-hand furniture, a visitor, a neighboring unit. It has nothing to do with how clean the house is.
When can I use the room again?
After heat, usually the same day once it has cooled. After a conventional treatment, typically a few hours — the technician will tell you and it’s on the product label.
