How To Control Bed Bugs

- Professional Chemical Treatment – Approved insecticides applied correctly by licensed professionals effectively kills bed bugs on contact at all life stages. Allows treatment of cracks & crevices harboring the bugs.
- Heat Treatments – Heating infested items & rooms to 50°C sustains temperatures lethal to bed bugs. Non-chemical treatment proven to kill all life stages on contact.

DIY Versus Professional Treatment
When faced with a bed bug infestation, many initially attempt do-it-yourself treatments like sprays, powders and traps thinking it will be effective. However, over-the-counter products often fail to fully eliminate these stubborn pests.
DIY methods lack the reach, scientific precision and confirmation needed to eradicate bed bugs in deep harborage spots and prevent them from multiplying and spreading again. Before you know it, bites and infestations flare up again causing great anxiety and costs.
Professional pest control is equipped to take bed bug removal seriously and deliver permanent relief. We leverage comprehensive inspections, strategic and integrated treatment plans combining thermal heat, targeted insecticide applications, essential oils and other methods out of DIYers toolkits.
