Bedbug Removal Services

What can I do to get rid of bed bugs?

Bedbugs can be tough to get rid of by yourself. They hide in every crack and crevice imaginable, resist some common chemicals, travel easily, and multiply quickly. Bedbug infestation can reoccur when uncleaned personal belongings are reintroduced into a treated environment. Our bedbug removal services include best practices that will help control such issues.

Preparing for our Bedbug Removal Services

Be prepared to leave and remove pets while treatment is being done and up to four hours afterward. Preparation is recommended to expedite the process. Put all clothing, blankets, sheets, and anything else washable into a dryer on high heat for 40 minutes. This will kill bed bugs in those articles. Make sure you place these cleaned articles into a sterile bag.

Beds and furniture may be saved and treated by your pest control professional. It is not recommended to buy bedbug covers since they can prolong control efforts. The covers may be placed on the beds 20 days after the initial treatment; this reduces hiding places and allows for easy inspection in the future. We suggest you vacuum everything, including mattresses and box springs. Dispose of the vacuum bags in the garbage afterward (outside). This will reduce the population and speed up control efforts.

Preventative Option

Preventative Treatment for Bed Bugs using spores is the best long-term option. The product provides three months of protection. Regular (quarterly) treatments offer hotels and motels effective methods to protect against bed bugs, lawsuits, loss of reputation, and remediation costs. We also provide this service for residential customers that travel often. Call for pricing at (810)410-8563.

Natural Option

Natural Bed Bug Treatments offer a low-risk non-chemical solution. We use heat and apply spores through an oil-based liquid carrier. The heat kills bedbugs in 24 hrs, while the spores take up to 10 days to kill new bed bugs. It lasts three months and protects you longer than heat alone. We can also skip the heat and apply spores, essential oils, and natural dust to gain results. Call for pricing at (810)410-8563.

Heat + Chemical

Heat effectively controls bed bug populations quickly, but there’s little protection after the rooms have cooled down. Heating a room to optimal temperatures can be difficult. Rooms often have clothing and blankets that help insulate bed bugs from heating efforts. For this reason, we combine strategies for the fastest and most effective control, heat, and spores. Our combo treatment comes with a 90-day warranty.

You should be prepared to vacate the home for 24 hrs while temperatures reach the optimal range. You can return after the area has cooled and dried.

Preparing for a Bedbug Heat Treatment

• DO NOT remove infested materials from the infested room.

• Open all closets, drawers, and furniture doors, such as nightstands, chests, dressers, and cabinets, in the areas to be treated.
• Make sure that closets are not packed too tightly. The heated air needs to circulate freely.
