Waking up to itchy bites is a nightmare. Discover the undeniable signs of a bed bug infestation and the proven steps to eliminate them from your home completely.
Get Professional Help: (844) 817 0239Before treating your home, you must confirm that bed bugs are actually the culprit. Look closely at your mattress seams, headboard, and surrounding baseboards for these undeniable signs:
Look for tiny, rust-colored blood spots on your bed sheets or pillowcases. You may also find dark, pinhead-sized spots (bed bug excrement) bleeding into the fabric like a marker.
As bed bugs grow, they shed their skin. You will often find pale yellow, translucent, empty shells hiding in the seams of your mattress or deep inside the cracks of your bed frame.
Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. They are flat, oval-shaped, and reddish-brown. They are masters of hiding and generally only come out at night.
While searching for how to get rid of a bed bug problem, you'll see many DIY options. The reality is that eliminating the eggs requires professional-grade tactics.
Your first line of defense: Strip all bedding, curtains, and clothing in the affected room. Wash them in hot water and dry them on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes to kill bugs and eggs.
Vacuum your mattress, box spring, bed frame, and carpets intensely. Immediately empty the vacuum contents into a plastic bag, seal it tightly, and throw it in an outdoor trash can.
The ultimate solution. We use commercial heaters to raise the temperature of your room over 130°F. This non-chemical method penetrates walls and furniture, instantly killing bed bugs at all life stages.
For persistent infestations, our licensed technicians apply EPA-approved insect growth regulators and adulticides deep into cracks, crevices, and baseboards where bugs hide during the day.
You don't always have to throw your mattress away. We utilize high-quality, bug-proof mattress and box spring encasements that trap existing bugs inside and prevent new ones from entering.

Answers to your most pressing questions about reclaiming your home from bed bugs.
Extreme heat is the only proven method to kill them instantly. Sustained temperatures over 120°F (49°C) will kill adult bed bugs, nymphs, and their eggs immediately. This is why professional thermal remediation (heat treatment) is the gold standard.
While it is possible to manage a very small, isolated incident with strict hygiene and high-heat laundering, DIY methods rarely succeed against an established infestation. Store-bought "bug bombs" and sprays often just repel the bugs, driving them deeper into your walls where they continue to breed.
No, you usually do not need to throw away your mattress. In fact, dragging an infested mattress through your home can actually spread the bugs to other rooms. A professional exterminator can treat the mattress, and you can seal it in a specialized bug-proof encasement.
Bed bugs despise light. During the day, they hide in mattress seams, box springs, behind headboards, inside electrical outlets, under loose wallpaper, and deep within the joints of bedroom furniture.
