Bed Bug FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding our bed bug control.

What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?

If you think you might have bed bugs in your home, it is important to be able to identify them. Bed bugs actually look different at different stages of their life cycle. However, they are usually always around three millimeters long. An adult bed bug is oval shaped and brown or reddish brown in color. An adult bed bug will also be very thin and flat, which is how they are able to squeeze into tight places. After a bed bug feeds, their bodies will get longer and redder in color.

In the nymph stage, a bed bug is tan, white, yellow, or nearly transparent and will of course be much smaller than an adult. But no matter what stage of life they are in, they feed on blood.

Do Bed Bugs Transmit Disease-Causing Pathogens?

While bed bugs are not known to transmit disease-causing pathogens, their bites might be irritating and can potentially cause an allergic reaction. And excessive scratching may irritate and damage the skin, which then presents the potential for infection. Lastly, there is also the psychological toll on having a bed bug infestation, such as anxiety or stress. So they may not transmit pathogens, but their mere existence is enough to cause harm.

How Quickly Does Bed Bug Treatment Work?

Our bed bug control and removal solutions should begin to work almost immediately. However, it is not uncommon to see bed bugs for a short period of time after the treatment. If you do see a lingering issue, then we can follow up again to make sure the infestation is exterminated completely.

Why Do Bed Bugs Pop Up Even After a Successful Treatment?

It is possible for bed bugs to return after a successful treatment since they can enter your home at any time by being carried in on clothes, furniture, luggage, or from a neighbor. If they are in your home or apartment, it is likely the infestation has gone past just your location, unfortunately. But with our experienced services, the likelihood of a return infestation is small.

How Much Does Bed Bug Treatment Cost?

The cost will always vary when it comes to the removal of bed bugs from a certain location, as there are numerous factors that wind up determining the severity of the infestation. However, you can schedule an inspection and we can accurately determine the extent of the infestation and lay out a plan of action and the costs of that plan.
