Professional inspection and proven treatment for single-family homes. We walk you through every step — from what the inspection covers to what to expect after treatment.
No commitment. We'll get back to you ASAP.
Bed bugs do not crawl in from the yard or arrive through gaps in your foundation. They always arrive via human activity — hidden in luggage, clinging to clothing, tucked inside secondhand furniture. Anyone can get bed bugs. It is not related to cleanliness.
The most common source. Bed bugs in hotel rooms, vacation rentals, and Airbnbs transfer to luggage and clothing, and ride home with you.
Secondhand beds, couches, and upholstered furniture are a frequent source — especially if picked up from the curb or bought without inspection.
Overnight guests who have a home infestation can introduce bed bugs via their luggage, clothing, or personal items.
A thorough bed bug inspection goes far beyond pulling back the sheets. Our inspectors examine every potential harborage point in each room — following the evidence, not a checklist.
Mattress seams, box spring folds, bed frame joints, headboard crevices, bedside tables, electrical outlets, and baseboards immediately adjacent to sleeping areas.
Upholstered furniture seams, sofa cushion folds, recliner mechanisms, behind picture frames, and in electronics near seating areas.
Same thorough inspection as the primary bedroom — bed bugs spread and secondary bedrooms are often overlooked.
If travel is the suspected source, we inspect luggage, suitcase seams, travel bags, and clothing stored near sleeping areas.
After the inspection, you receive a written report documenting what was found, where, and our recommended next steps.
The right treatment depends on the severity of the infestation, the layout of your home, and your personal preferences. We explain all options clearly and let you choose.
The entire home or affected areas are raised to temperatures that kill all bed bugs and eggs in a single treatment day. No chemical residue. You return home the same day.
Multiple targeted chemical applications over several weeks using EPA-registered products. More preparation required. Effective for most infestations.
Heat for the primary infestation areas combined with targeted chemical application for perimeter protection and residual coverage.
Proper preparation is the single most important factor in treatment success. Skipping prep steps is the most common reason treatment does not fully resolve an infestation. Your technician will give you a personalized prep checklist — here is an overview of what to expect.
Wash and heat-dry all bedding, clothing, and fabric items in affected rooms
Bag all clothing, shoes, and fabric items after drying — store in sealed bags
Clear clutter from bedroom floors, under beds, and in closets
Move furniture away from walls to allow technician access
Do NOT move items from room to room before treatment — this spreads bugs
Vacuum all floors and mattress surfaces — dispose of vacuum bag immediately
Dismantle bed frames if possible to maximize technician access
All people and pets must vacate during heat treatment
The period after treatment is often the most anxious time for homeowners. Knowing what is normal reduces unnecessary worry.
After chemical treatment, you may see some live or dying bugs for 1-2 weeks as they contact treated surfaces. This is a sign the treatment is working, not a sign of failure.
With heat treatment, no live bugs survive the treatment day. Any activity after that indicates new introduction or an area that did not reach treatment temperature.
Install mattress and box spring encasements after treatment. These prevent any surviving bugs in the mattress from feeding and serve as a monitoring tool going forward.
We schedule a follow-up inspection 2-3 weeks after treatment to confirm clearance. If any activity is found, re-treatment is performed per your service agreement.
Inspection pricing varies by home size and region. Many companies charge a flat fee for a standard home inspection that is credited toward treatment if bed bugs are found. Contact us for current pricing in your area.
Bed bugs almost always arrive via travel (luggage from hotels), secondhand furniture or clothing, or contact with an infested home through guests or visits. They do not come in from outside like ants or roaches — they always arrive with people or objects.
In most cases, no. A high-quality mattress encasement applied after treatment is usually sufficient. Mattress disposal is messy, expensive, and often unnecessary — and if you bring in a new mattress before treatment, it can become infested too.
Heat treatment is typically a full-day process (6-10 hours depending on home size). Chemical treatment involves multiple visits over several weeks. We will walk you through the full timeline during your consultation.
For heat treatment, you and all pets must vacate for the duration of the treatment day — typically 6-10 hours. For chemical treatment, you will need to be out of treated rooms for 4-6 hours after application.
Reputable companies offer a follow-up inspection and re-treatment period. Ask about the follow-up policy before you book. Most treatment failures are due to incomplete preparation by the homeowner — which is why our prep guide is detailed and important to follow.
