What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They’re about the size of an apple seed and most active at night.

How Do I Know If I Have Bed Bugs?

Common signs include:

Small, itchy red bites (often in a line or cluster)
Rust-colored stains on sheets or mattresses
Tiny dark spots (fecal matter)
Musty, sweet odor in affected areas
Shedded skins or live bugs near mattress seams

Can I Get Rid of Bed Bugs Myself?

DIY methods may reduce activity but rarely eliminate infestations. Bed bugs hide deep in furniture, walls, and flooring. Professional treatment—especially heat-based—offers the best chance at total eradication.

What Is Heat Treatment, and Why Is It Effective?

Heat treatment raises the temperature of the infested space to over 120°F—high enough to kill all stages of bed bugs, including eggs. It’s fast, effective, and chemical-free.

Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?

Mattress seams and box springs
Bed frames, headboards, and nightstands
Behind wall hangings or baseboards
Inside electrical outlets or carpet edges
Even in couches, luggage, and clothing

How Did I Get Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers. You may have picked them up from:

Hotels or Airbnb stays
Public transportation or movie theaters
Used furniture or clothing
Neighboring units (apartments, condos)

Are Bed Bugs Dangerous?

While bed bugs are not known to spread disease, their bites can cause allergic reactions, skin infections from scratching, and significant stress and sleep disruption.

Do You Treat Apartments or Multi-Unit Buildings?

Yes. We work with both renters and property managers to discreetly and effectively eliminate bed bugs in single units or entire buildings.

How Much Does Bed Bug Treatment Cost?

Pricing depends on severity, size of the space, and treatment method.

We offer free inspections and will provide a quote based on your specific situation.

How Soon Can You Treat My Home?

Most customers are scheduled within 24–48 hours. Our trucks don’t say “Bed Bug Exterminators” so your neighbors don’t have to know.

Do You Guarantee Results?

Yes. We stand by our treatments with a follow-up guarantee—we don’t stop until the problem is gone.
