How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs in 3 Steps

Written:

You can get rid of bed bugs fast with the right approach. Here’s how we s treat your home for bed bugs and help you keep them away.

Getting rid of bed bugs from your home requires comprehensive treatment.

Applying bed bug spray to your home, or trying to kill them with heat alone, won’t be enough to eliminate these incredibly invasive pests.

You need to make sure the bed bugs have no way of escaping to survive the extermination.

Bed bugs can use almost anything in your home as hiding places. They can also let each other know when your home is unsafe to avoid your attempt to kill them.

Because of this, you also need to take proper precautions to prevent bed bugs from coming back after the treatment is complete.

It may sound complicated, but our bed bug exterminators can get it done in just 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Preparing for Bed Bug Treatment

Preparing your home for bed bug treatment is the most important step in extermination.

Doing this eliminates any potential bed bug hiding places. It allows you to isolate and control bed bug activity in your home and prevents bed bugs from spreading.

With a well-executed bed bug prep, you can remove a large portion of the infestation before using any bed bug spray. It increases your chances of successful extermination.

We offer bed bug preparation as a part of our pest control services.

 

To prepare your home for bed bug treatment, our exterminators follow these steps:

  • Declutter your home and pack your belongings into clear plastic backs so you can identify and get rid of any bed bug bugs hiding in your things.
  • Do a bed bug laundry treatment on all your washable items. Pack them into unused bags to keep them safe.
    Pull your furniture away from the wall. Empty your dressers, remove your couch cushions, and dismantle your bed.
  • Use a high-powered industrial steamer to clean your furniture and eliminate any bed bugs hiding inside of them.
  • Vacuum your carpet and hardwood floors. You need a specialized HEPA filter to trap bed bugs and bed bug eggs, preventing them from escaping.

Step 2: Bed Bug Extermination

You don’t have time to waste when dealing with bed bugs. We begin treatment immediately after your bed bug prep is complete.

Our team of top exterminators applies bed bug spray in your home from top to bottom.

We use safe, natural pest control methods as much as possible. The bed bug spray we use features a non-toxic formula so you are not exposed to any harsh pesticides.

Bed bug extermination serves to eliminate any bed bugs not taken care of in prep.

But to get rid of bed bugs completely, you need to stay proactive.

Step 3: Bed Bug Prevention

After a bed bug extermination, it is vital that you protect yourself from future infestations.

Do not unpack any of your belongings until you confirm the bed bugs are gone for good. All it takes is one bedbug to escape and you can have another infestation in just a few weeks.

Bed bugs take about 6-7 weeks to grow into full maturity after they hatch.

You should schedule follow-up treatments every two weeks until there are no signs of bed bugs in your home.

We recommend using a bedbug-proof mattress encasement. It will trap any bed bugs still hiding in your mattress and starve them of their food source—you.

Using a bed bug mattress encasement also stops new pests from setting up camp in your bed.
