Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of people and animals. 

  • They are excellent at hiding in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture, cracks, and other small spaces. 
  • Bed bugs do not fly or jump, but they can spread by hitching rides on luggage, clothing, furniture, and other belongings. 
  • A bed bug infestation can grow quickly because females can lay multiple eggs during their lifetime. 
  • Bed bugs can survive for months without feeding, making them difficult to eliminate without proper treatment. 
  • Finding and treating an infestation early can help prevent it from spreading to other rooms and areas of the home.

We inspect areas where bed bugs commonly hide, including mattresses, bed frames, couches, furniture, and other potential hiding spots. After the inspection, we explain our findings and recommend the appropriate treatment options based on the level and location of the infestation. We also provide you with clear preparation instructions so your home is ready for treatment. Proper preparation is an important part of helping the treatment work effectively.
