How do I know if I have bed bugs?

The most common signs are small itchy bites in a line or cluster, rust-colored blood spots on bedding, dark fecal spots on mattress seams or baseboards, and shed skins in furniture joints. A professional inspection is the most reliable way to confirm an infestation.

How long does bed bug treatment take?

A standard treatment visit takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the infestation and the number of rooms treated. You'll need to stay out of treated areas for a few hours after treatment.

Do I need to throw away my mattress?

In most cases, no. Our treatments can address bed bugs on mattresses and box springs. We'll advise you on whether a mattress encasement is recommended after treatment.

How many treatments are needed?

Most infestations require two visits — an initial treatment and a follow-up 7–14 days later to address any eggs that hatched after the first visit. Severe infestations may require additional visits.

Are your treatments safe for children and pets?

We use EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians according to the label, and will give you clear instructions on when it's safe to re-enter treated areas. Pets and children should stay out of treated rooms until the product has dried.

Can bed bugs come back after treatment?

Re-infestation is possible if bed bugs are re-introduced through travel, used furniture, or visitors. We provide prevention guidance after every treatment to reduce this risk.

Bed Bug Life Stages We Target

Adult Bed Bugs

Apple-seed sized, reddish-brown, and flat. Adults feed every 5–10 days and can survive months without a blood meal — making early treatment critical.

Nymphs (Juveniles)

Translucent to pale yellow, nymphs are smaller and harder to spot but equally capable of feeding and spreading. Five nymph stages must all be addressed.

Eggs

Tiny, white, and sticky — bed bug eggs are laid in clusters in seams, cracks, and hidden harborage areas. Our treatments target eggs as well as live bugs.

Our Bed Bug Treatment Process

Thorough Inspection

Our technicians inspect mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, furniture, baseboards, and electrical outlets — every harborage area bed bugs use.

Targeted Treatment

We apply EPA-registered residual treatments to all confirmed and suspected harborage areas, including mattress seams, furniture joints, and wall voids — products applied by licensed technicians according to the label.

Follow-Up Visit

A scheduled follow-up checks results and treats any remaining activity. Bed bug eggs hatch 6–10 days after treatment, so follow-up is essential.

Prevention Guidance

We provide written prep instructions and post-treatment guidance to reduce re-infestation risk — including travel tips and early detection strategies.
