Bed Bug Extermination
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to exterminate. While there are do-it-yourself methods, it is a very complex process, with a high likelihood of failure. Getting rid of bed bugs without professional help can take weeks or even months, making the process that much more difficult.
Spray Pesticides
The first viable option is the use of spray pesticides. There are over 300 products listed by the Environmental Protection Agency for use on mattresses, room and whole-home extermination. We have the knowledge and expertise to use these pesticides. These pesticides however have their down sides and do not work as well as Heat Treatments.
Heat Treatment
We offer bed bug heat treatment. While you have to leave your house, this is an effective and less intrusive method than other bed bug extermination methods. We heat your house to 120 degrees, killing all bed bugs and even other insects, mold and harmful bacteria.
Structural Fumigation
As a last measure, structural fumigation requires tarping your entire home and several days of evacuation. This process allows the gasses to permeate every crack and crevice in your home, killing bed bugs.
