Our Three-Step Bed

 Bed Bugs are not only back, but are becoming quite common. Schools, hotels, movie theaters, and even single-family homes find themselves with serious bed bug infestations these days. Attracted by the carbon dioxide emitted while humans sleep, bed bugs can be relentless, and put your whole family in a horrible situation.

Our Three-Step Bed Bug Extermination Process 


  • First, we will conduct a free inspection, to determine if bed bugs are indeed the source of your pest problem.
  • Next, we will develop a plan, keeping you and your family in the loop and presenting all the best service options.
  • Finally, once our inspection is complete and a plan has been developed, we will treat your property thoroughly, making sure your home is completely bed bug-free, so you can get a good night’s sleep once again.

 Bed bugs inject a chemical into their bite victims that numbs the bite area and encourages sleep. Virtually unable to wake up, the person is often bitten repeatedly by many bed bugs until morning. As opposed to flea bites, which tend to be centralized around your ankles, you may find bed bug bites on any exposed area of your skin. You may or may not notice bed bug bites as soon as you wake up, though you will soon detect itchy red welts on your skin if you are dealing with a bed bug infestation.

Common signs of Bed bugs

Common signs of Bed bugs

  •  Blood Stains: If your bed bug problem gets bad enough, you may start to wake up noticing blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases from where these nasty critters have bitten you.
  • Excrement: Bed bug excrement has a dark or rusty color. You may notice signs of their droppings on your sheets, mattresses, blankets, pajamas, walls, and anywh

  •  Blood Stains: If your bed bug problem gets bad enough, you may start to wake up noticing blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases from where these nasty critters have bitten you.
  • Excrement: Bed bug excrement has a dark or rusty color. You may notice signs of their droppings on your sheets, mattresses, blankets, pajamas, walls, and anywhere else a bed bug infestation is centralized.
  • Eggshells: Bed bug eggs and empty eggshells tend to be minuscule, white dots, though they can also be opaque. Only a millimeter in length, bed bug eyes are extremely hard to find, though you may still be able to see them with the aid of a device like a looking glass.
  • Skins: Shed skins tend can be found in any areas where bed bugs hide. These casings essentially look the same as empty shells, though they may vary in size and color and will get lighter the longer it’s been since the bed bug has eaten its last meal and molted. Large collections of shed skins tend to indicate you were definitely dealing with a bed bug infestation at some point, if not right now.
  • A Musty Odor: Bed bugs release an offensive, musty odor from their scent glands. These odors, called alarm pheromones, have been described as smelling like coriander or cilantro. However, the greater the infestation is, the more your home will start to smell like moldy shoes or wet towels, so do not hesitate to call for an inspection at the first whiff of this distasteful odor.
