Professional Bed Bug Control Services

Biology

• Adult bed bugs are brown to reddish-brown, approximately 3/16-inch long, 1/8-inch wide, broadly oval, and flat.
• Bed bugs are nocturnal insects that feed exclusively on blood
• Adult females can lay 1-5 eggs per day
• Eggs hatch approximately 7-10 days after being deposited by the female
• Development from egg hatch to adult takes approximately 1 ½-2 months but can take longer depending upon environmental conditions and food availability
• Individual bed bugs do not seek a blood meal everyday and may go several days to a week or more between blood meals.
• Bed bugs are believed to be mostly inactive between blood meals, hiding in their secretive resting places
• Bed bugs are not limited to the bed or the bedroom but instead will disperse throughout a dwelling
• Bed bugs are very resilient and easily survive for several months or more without a blood meal
• Bed bug bites are essentially painless and often go unnoticed while the bugs are feeding. Reactions to bed bug bites can range from no reaction at all to a very severe allergic reaction and the level of reaction tends to vary depending on the person.

Control

• Bed bugs can be extremely difficult to detect. Proper diagnosis requires highly trained professionals.
• Bed bug services are very labor intensive, and require a multi faceted approach.
• Service should only be conducted by highly trained professionals.
• Proper service requires that ALL possible harborages are treated. This usually requires the complete cooperation of the customer to access all areas that need to be treated.
• One service WILL NOT eliminate bed bugs from your home. A typical bed bug management program consists of an intensive initial service followed by a number of follow up visits over a period of one to several months. These follow up visits are necessary to ensure a maximum level of control.
