While bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, they can affect health in several ways:

• Their bites can cause itchy, red welts on the skin
• Some people may experience allergic reactions to bed bug bites
• Excessive scratching of bites can lead to secondary skin infections
• Infestations can cause anxiety, stress, and insomnia
• In rare cases, severe infestations may lead to anemia due to blood loss
• Their presence can negatively impact mental health and quality of life

Prevent bed bugs from entering your home by:

• Inspecting hotel rooms when traveling
• Checking secondhand furniture before bringing it home
• Using mattress and pillow encasements
• Regularly inspecting your home, especially after trips
• Avoiding placing luggage on hotel beds or floors
• Washing and drying clothes on high heat after traveling
• Being cautious when using shared laundry facilities

While DIY methods exist, professional help is recommended because:

• Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate completely
• Professional treatments target all life stages of bed bugs
• DIY methods often provide temporary relief, not long-term solutions
• Incorrect use of pesticides can be harmful and ineffective
• Professionals have access to more potent and targeted treatments
• Expert inspection can identify all infested areas, including hidden ones
• Professional treatment is often more cost-effective in the long run

Our bed bug treatment duration varies:

• Initial treatment typically takes 3-4 hours
• Heat treatments may resolve infestations in one day
• Chemical treatments might require 2-3 visits over several weeks
• Follow-up inspection after 2 weeks to ensure elimination
• Severe infestations may require more extensive treatment plans
• We offer ongoing monitoring for peace of mind

Bed bug pesticide resistance is a concern:

• Some bed bug populations show resistance to common pesticides
• Pestyologist uses a multi-pronged approach to combat resistance
• We employ non-chemical methods like heat treatment
• Our treatments target all life stages to prevent resistant populations
• We stay updated on the latest effective treatment methods
• Regular monitoring helps catch and treat any surviving bugs

Handle infested items carefully during treatment:

• Do not remove items from the infested area without guidance
• Washable items should be laundered on high heat
• Non-washable items can be treated with heat or freezing
• Dispose of heavily infested items as advised by our technicians
• Use bed bug-proof covers on mattresses and box springs
• Follow our specific instructions for your situation to prevent spread

Re-entry times for our bed bug treatments:

• For chemical treatments, usually safe to re-enter after 4-6 hours
• Heat treatments allow immediate re-entry once the home cools
