After our bed bug exterminators thoroughly inspect your property for signs of bed bugs, we will review our findings and discuss our bed bug treatment with you. The steps in our treatment for bed bugs are:

Investigation

Our professionals begin with a thorough inspection to identify the severity of the infestation and locate all bed bug hiding spots. This step ensures no area is overlooked, whether it’s in mattresses, furniture, electrical outlets or wall crevices. We will walk you through the process of preparing for a bed bug treatment, and what to expect during and after service.

Identification

We then confirm whether the pest in question is indeed bed bugs and pinpoint their specific hiding places, such as mattress seams, crevices in furniture, and even behind walls. 

If you suspect bed bugs in your home, look for telltale signs of their presence. Waking up with small, red, itchy bites in clusters or lines on your skin is a common indicator. Learn more about how to identify bed bug bites. Other signs include rust-colored stains on bedding from crushed bugs, tiny white eggs, or dark droppings near mattress seams, furniture crevices, or walls.

Accurate identification allows for a targeted approach to treatment, ensuring no area of the infestation is missed. This precise step is critical in creating an effective treatment plan tailored to the unique needs of the home.

Tailored Treatment Method

After confirming the presence of bed bugs, we customize a treatment plan based on factors like the size of the infestation, its location, and the property type. Heat treatments are a primary option, using high temperatures to eliminate bed bugs at all life stages. 

In addition, chemical treatments may be applied for long-lasting results. We will evaluate the different materials, surfaces, and circumstances in the room to determine which products and application methods will be most effective. These vary between liquids, dust, and aerosols for thorough fumigation. 

The focal point of the treatment, in most cases, the bed, will be where the treatment starts. This will be followed up with a careful application to all items in the vicinity; including baseboards, floors, cracks in walls, and even electrical outlets. We intend to treat all hiding places to eradicate bed bugs in all stages of their life cycle, not just the adults. This way you will soon be able to sleep easily, knowing these pests are gone for good.

Follow-Up Monitoring

Eliminating bed bugs may require more than one round of treatment. That’s why our process includes follow-up monitoring in infested areas to ensure every trace of the infestation has been eradicated. If necessary, we will perform additional treatments until there’s no sign of bed bugs in your property.

To keep bed bugs away, it’s important to take preventative measures. Learn more about the methods you can use to prevent bed bugs.

Effective Bed Bug Treatments

Swift action is critical when dealing with a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs reproduce quickly and can spread throughout your home if left untreated, making the problem significantly harder and more expensive to resolve.  And while DIY methods like vacuuming, steam cleaning, or using diatomaceous earth can help reduce the infestation temporarily, they often fall short of complete eradication. 

If you want your bed bugs gone completely and quickly, professional bed bug treatment is the only way to go! The team at Active Pest Control has the years of experience needed to provide quick, reliable bed bug treatment. Contact us today to learn more about this industry-leading option.

FAQs

Do bed bugs go away after professional treatment? 

Yes, bed bugs typically go away after professional treatment if the infestation is properly handled. Exterminators use advanced methods such as heat treatment, pesticides, and steam to eliminate both visible bugs and eggs. However, a follow-up treatment or inspection may be required for thorough eradication.

How long does heat treatment for bed bugs take? 

Heat treatment for bed bugs typically takes around 6-8 hours, depending on the size of the home or affected area. The process involves raising the temperature to around 113°F and above for around 90 minutes to ensure all bed bugs, eggs, and larvae are eliminated.

How many treatments does it usually take to get rid of bed bugs? 

In most cases, one professional treatment is sufficient to get rid of bed bugs, especially if heat treatment or chemical methods are used. 

However, some infestations may require a second treatment after 2-3 weeks to ensure full eradication.

How to tell if bedbugs are gone? 

To determine if bed bugs are gone, continue to inspect for bites, live bugs, or fecal spots. If you haven’t seen any signs for 2-3 weeks after treatment, it’s likely that the infestation has been eradicated. 

Professional pest control technicians may also use bed bug monitoring devices for further confirmation.
