Visual Inspection:
If you are unsure what you are seeing or feeling is actually bed bugs, we can provide you with a thorough visual inspection of your home. We are looking for things such as blood spots on mattress, box springs, bed linens, skin casts, and other evidence of bed bugs.
Tailored to you:
We will design a custom strategy for your bed bug treatment. Every case is different. We will work with you to tailor a solution for your home to ensure success.
Step 2: Prepare the Areas
After identifying the problem areas and designing an action plan, the areas of treatment need to be prepared. We provide you with a checklist of what needs to be done to prepare the area for effective treatment. Following the list is mandatory, and must be done in order to proceed to the treatment portion of the plan. If you are physically unable or need a more convenient solution, we can provide additional services for a fee. Whether you prepare the treatment area or we do it for you, there is work to be done before we can apply bed bug treatment inside your home.
Clean up:
Remove all paper, clutter & personal belongings to a quarantined area.
Sanitize:
Bed linens, curtains, and clothes must be sanitized at high temperatures, killing the eggs laid in pockets and folds of the material.
Mattress & box spring encasement:
Mattress and box spring encasements are an important part of an overall strategy. You may purchase them from us or we can show you where.
Step 3: Perform Treatment
When:
We will schedule and provide an initial treatment. The service duration will depend on how severe the problem is and how many rooms we are treating. A follow up service will be scheduled about 10-14 days later. It will be at this point what we will consult with you to decide if additional treatment is necessary.
Where:
Treatment areas may include but are not limited to carpeted areas, bed frames, end tables, dressers, chests, baseboards, additional furniture, luggage, etc.
How:
We will use a chemical treatment method including a liquid adulticide treatment specifically designed for bed bugs. Our product has the best efficacy rates of any chemical treatment on the market today. An insect growth regulator (IGR) is also used. It affects the adult and nymph stages of development. IGR's inhibit adult reproduction as well as the nymph stage; disallowing growth into mature reproducing bed bugs. Dust products may be used in key wall voids where bed bugs and nymphs hide while you are awake.

What To Expect
Before Treatment:
We ask that you do a few things to create the best environment for success.
- Clean up and remove all clutter to a quarantined area.
- Complete the Bed Bug Preparation Checklist.
During Our Visit:
You will receive clean and professional service from our service technician.
- Although you do not need leave your home during service, please allow treated rooms to dry before entering.
- Expect to see bed bugs from time to time. Eggs will continue to hatch and nymphs will be affected by the product and die.
- A follow-up service will be scheduled about 14 days after initial treatment to re-inspect and re-treat as necessary.
- Once dry, continue to sleep in your room as usual. Do not relocate to another room, as this will cause bed bugs to spread and will exacerbate the problem.
After Treatment:
- Place mattress and box spring encasements on bed after treatment is dry.
- Once the treated room(s) are dry, you may sleep / inhabit the room.
- Continue to vacuum the room(s) on an every other day basis until you are free of bed bugs.
- Clean clothes may be returned to the room approximately 3-4 weeks after treatment.
- Personal belongings removed from the room may be introduced after they have been cleaned.
