Comprehensive Bed Bug Extermination Services
Our bed bug extermination process is thorough and meticulous, designed to eliminate both adult bed bugs and their eggs, preventing future infestations.
Bed Bug Inspection and Identification
The first step in our bed bug extermination process is a detailed inspection of your home. Our trained technicians will carefully examine mattresses, box springs, furniture, and other areas where bed bugs are likely to hide. We use techniques and tools to identify the presence of active bed bugs and assess the severity of the infestation.
Thorough Room Assessment
We don't just look at the obvious places. We check behind baseboards, under carpets, and inside electrical outlets to identify potential nesting areas. Our comprehensive approach ensures that no stone is left unturned.
Bed Bug Treatment Options
Based on our assessment, we will recommend the most effective bed bug treatment options for your specific situation. We offer a range of treatments, including:
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment involves raising the temperature of your home to a lethal level for bed bugs. This method is highly effective and can eliminate bed bugs in a single treatment. Heat treatment is ideal for treating entire homes, apartments, or specific rooms that are heavily infested. Our skilled technicians will carefully track temperatures by use of monitoring sensors within key areas to ensure the heat spreads evenly, eradicating all bed bugs, including difficult-to-reach locations.
Conventional Insecticides
We use EPA-approved insecticides that are specifically designed to kill bed bugs. Our technicians will apply these insecticides to cracks, crevices, and other areas where bed bugs are likely to hide. Often chemicals with residual effect are used help provide long term elimination and prevention. We will always prioritize the safety of you, your family and pets when using insecticides and will always comply with safety data sheets.
Steam Treatment
Steam treatment can be a suitable method for some locations that cannot be treated with insecticides or heat. High-temperature steam is applied to mattresses, furniture, and other infested areas, killing bed bugs and their eggs on contact.
We understand that every home is unique, which is why we customize our bed bug extermination strategy to meet your specific needs. Our goal is to provide you with a solution that is both effective and environmentally responsible.
Follow-Up Inspections and Prevention
After the initial treatment, we will conduct follow-up inspections to ensure that the bed bug infestation has been completely eliminated. We will also provide you with recommendations for preventing future infestations by following the instructions.
Common Bed Bug Problems & Signs of Infestation
Recognizing the early signs of a bed bug infestation is crucial for effective treatment. Here's what to look for:
Waking Up with Bites
One of the most common indicators of a bed bug infestation is waking up with itchy, red welts on your skin. Bed bug bites are often arranged in a line or cluster and can occur anywhere on the body. These bites are a sign that bed bugs are actively feeding on you while you sleep and can cause significant discomfort.
These bites can cause significant discomfort! Our targeted treatments eliminate bed bugs at their source so you can get some rest!
Blood Stains on Bedding

Discovering these stains on your fabrics is a warning sign of a bed bug infestation, and needs immediate attention! Contact an experienced professional to confirm suspected bed bug infestations immediately.
Blood stains are a clear sign of an active infestation. Ignoring them will only allow the problem to grow. Eradicate those blood-sucking pests with our extermination services!
Finding Bed Bug Exoskeletons
Bed bugs shed their skin as they grow. Finding their exoskeletons, or shed skins, around your bed or other furniture is a sign that bed bugs are present. These exoskeletons are typically small, oval-shaped, and translucent. Finding these skins will give you peace of mind knowing that these shedding will reduce the bed bug population.
Those shed skins are leftovers from growing pests! We'll eliminate them and all their friends and family for you. Contact us for fast, reliable treatment!
Musty Odor
A severe bed bug infestation can produce a distinctive musty odor. This odor is caused by the pheromones that bed bugs release.

Itchy Welts

Scratching can lead to secondary infections, so it's vital to identify and treat the infestation. We'll eradicate the problem, so you can rest easy!
