Professional Bedbug Extermination: Our Comprehensive Approach
Bedbugs are among the most difficult pests to eradicate due to their ability to hide in the smallest crevices and their resistance to many common pesticides. Our professional service uses a multi-faceted approach to ensure your home is bedbug-free and stays that way.
1. Professional Bedbug Inspection
Early detection is critical. Bedbugs are "hitchhikers" and can be found anywhere from your mattress to your electrical outlets.
-
Visual Inspection: We check common "hot zones" including mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, upholstered furniture, and behind baseboards.
-
Evidence Collection: We look for live bugs, shed skins (exuviae), and small dark spots (fecal matter) on linens and furniture.
-
Extent Assessment: We determine if the infestation is localized to one room or has spread throughout the property.
2. Integrated Treatment Methods
We utilize a combination of thermal and chemical treatments to ensure total elimination of all life stages, including eggs.
Thermal Remediation (Heat & Steam)
Heat is the most effective way to kill bedbugs instantly.
-
Dry Steam: We use professional-grade, low-moisture steam on mattresses and furniture to kill bugs and eggs on contact without soaking the fabric.
-
Heat Treatments: (If applicable) Raising the temperature of a room to 49C higher to eliminate bugs hiding deep inside walls or furniture.
Targeted Chemical Application
We use specialized residuals and dusts that are specifically formulated for bedbug resistance.
-
Crack and Crevice Treatment: Applying long-lasting residuals into the deep voids where bedbugs hide during the day.
-
Biopesticides: A fungal spore which attacks and feeds on bedbugs. With a high rate of success, this spore is as aggressive as the bedbug.
3. Post-Treatment Protection
Recovery from a bedbug infestation requires proactive measures to prevent a re-occurrence.
-
Mattress Encasements: We highly recommend (and can provide) high-quality, bite-proof encasements for mattresses and box springs to trap any survivors and prevent new ones from entering.
-
Interceptors: Installation of small plastic wells under bed legs to catch bugs attempting to climb up or down, acting as an early warning system.
-
Isolation Advice: Detailed guidance on how to keep your bed a "safe island" while the treatment takes full effect.
4. Mandatory Follow-Up
Because bedbug eggs are highly resilient and may hatch after the initial treatment, follow-up is not optional—it is essential.
-
Secondary Inspection: We return 10–14 days later to inspect and re-treat if any new activity is detected.
-
Guarantee: We monitor the situation until we are confident that the life cycle has been completely broken.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to throw away my mattress?
In most cases, no. With professional steam treatment and high-quality encasements, your mattress can be saved.
Should I sleep in another room or a hotel?
Actually, no. If you move to another room, the bedbugs may follow you, spreading the infestation. We want to keep the "bait" (the host) in the treatment area so the bugs cross the treated barriers to reach you.
How did I get bedbugs?
Bedbugs are world-class travelers. They can be picked up in hotels, on public transport, in movie theaters, or even from guests visiting your home. It has nothing to do with cleanliness.
How long until I can stop living out of plastic bags?
We generally recommend keeping items bagged until the follow-up inspection confirms that the infestation has been cleared, usually 2–4 weeks after the initial treatment.
