Question 1

What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?

Accepted Answer

Because bed bugs usually come out at night while you’re sleeping, you may never see one unless the infestation is really bad. A surefire sign is a row of two or more very itchy bites on your skin that may look like a red or purple welt. By inspecting the edge and underside of your mattress, you may also find bed bug droppings, molting shells, or living bed bugs. Also check couches, baseboards, flooring, desks, chairs, bookshelves, and even computers. It’s important to be vigilant. Not only do bed bugs feed when everyone is sleeping, but about 30% of people don’t have reactions to them. That means you could have them and pass them to friends and family without even knowing.

Question 2

What strategies do you use to control and kill bed bugs?

Accepted Answer

To control them, you must wash all your clothes and linens and dry them on high heat for over twenty minutes. Then they must be put into garbage bags until the entire treatment is done. Contrary to popular wisdom, do not throw out your furniture or mattresses. Whether we use a spray, heat, or fumigation, everything in the apartment must be treated before it leaves the apartment.

Question 3

What is the difference between a bed bug heat treatment and a bed bug chemical treatment?

Accepted Answer

During heat or thermal treatment, we will seal off your home or apartment. Then we will use specially designed heaters to raise the interior temperature to one that will be lethal to bed bugs. Chemical treatments are typically performed with a spray technique. You will be asked to leave the property for enough time so that the pesticides are no longer a danger to humans.

Question 4

How safe are your treatments for my home and family?

Accepted Answer

Neither the chemical nor thermal treatments are dangerous to objects and things if the proper precautions are followed. Depending on the treatment you require, we will provide you with this information after the inspection.

Question 5

Do I have to vacate the home during the treatment and for any period of time afterward?

Accepted Answer

For bed bugs, cockroaches, and other treatments, you will have to vacate the home during a limited period of time. We will provide you with more precise information after the pest inspection.

Question 6

What should I do to prepare for your visit?

Accepted Answer

We will provide you with a full program to help you prepare for the visit. All the information will be provided once we know what type of infestation you have.
