What Are Bed Bugs?

If you miss just one pregnant female bed bug you can be reinfested with over 300 adults and 1000 new eggs in three months.


Bed bugs are blood-eating insects. They feed on human blood, most commonly at night. If you have bed bugs in your home, it’s probably the Cimex lectularius (the common bed bug). They spread by crawling between nearby locations or by hitching rides on your belongings. They don’t fly but they can crawl very quickly.


WHY ARE BED BUGS A PROBLEM? 

Bed bugs have not been shown to transmit disease. However, they do bite and cause damage to your belongings. If you have bed bugs in your space, you may experience:

» Allergic reactions to their bites. 
» Infections of the skin from the bite reaction. 
» Declining mental health from living in an infested space.

How we treat bed bug problems

On the first visit, we will examine your entire home including the bed, furniture, rugs, and linens. We will conduct an inspection of target areas, and if required, use tools to check cracks and crevices. Our specialist will usually start in the bedroom and work their way through your home, concentrating on the furniture and the areas immediately surrounding the furniture.
  2. Implement
    Upon completion of the inspection and an assessment of the situation, our specialist will recommend the best course of action. If the inspection confirms an infestation, We will recommend a treatment plan based on the severity of the infestation and your preferences. We will use the best tools to address the causes and treat your bed bug problem in the best way for your family, pets, and the environment.

How we work

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and nontarget organisms, and the environment.
