Bed bugs are parasitic insects that will feed on human blood. They stay in and around areas where people sleep, relax, and spend lots of time. They come out at night to feed and leave people with bites. Bed bugs are often brought in unsuspectedly through infested furniture, clothes, or luggage from a trip abroad
If you have bed bugs and want to get rid of them, hire professionals from Pest Control Oshawa.
Preparation
Preparation is crucial for effective extermination. As such customers are required to make sure that technicians and treatments can reach places where they need to be and not be blocked. Linens from the bed need to be stowed away and washed, clothes put in plastic bags, and rooms decluttered. A detailed set of instructions will be sent to property owners. Preparation needs to be done before technicians arrive for extermination.
Inspection
To start the bed bug control process, the technician will conduct a thorough inspection of the premises. Hot spots and peak activities will be searched in bedrooms, living spaces, and additional rooms. The technician will have a complete understanding of the scope, scale, and severity of the infestation. Bed bugs are nestled at various locations at different life stages. Once the infestation and situation are assessed, the technician will then compile the findings, convey the information, and prepare for extermination using a custom plan of action with the appropriate treatments.
Extermination
We exterminate bed bugs using a combination of methods. The main methods we use are a combination of heat and chemicals for maximum results. Our technicians complete the extermination in two visits. The 2nd visit happens 2-3 weeks after the 1st one. On the 2nd visit, the technician confirms the treatment of the previous one. Once confirmed, the technician continues with a baseboard spray. All occupants also need to leave for a few hours when technicians exterminate.
Pesticide Treatment
We use a combination of several chemical solutions for desired results. We use Aerosols for crack and crevices. Liquid pesticides for spot treatments, and finally dust for sensitive areas like electrical outlets and wall voids. Each of these pesticides plays a vital role in the total extermination of bed bugs.
Steam Treatment
Bed bugs cannot survive extended periods under extreme heat. Technicians destroy bed bugs and eggs at such temperatures so they cannot survive. We primarily use steam to destroy unhatched bed bug eggs because they can be resistant to chemical treatments. This assures that we apply the right techniques and treatments to properly get rid of them.
Prevention
Prevention keeps the bed bugs away. This is the customer’s responsibility to make sure that bed bugs are not brought it. This Is how most infestations start without anyone’s knowledge. Common items that start infestations are clothing, second-hand furniture, carpets, and luggage from a trip abroad. Thoroughly check luggage on a flat and clear surface with ample lighting for visibility.
Bed Bug Signs
Bed bug bites are a sign of bed bug infestations. However, bed bug signs are not easy to discover and need a professional pair of eyes to confirm. Another sign is seeking brown, black, and red streaks on your mattress. This indicates an ongoing infestation and needs professional intervention.
