Question 1

Do I need pest management to get rid of bed bugs?

Accepted Answer

Theoretically, you can attempt to remove bed bugs on your own, but we advise against it. Disturbing the affected areas of your property significantly increases the risk of the infestation spreading. For moderate to severe infestations, we especially recommend not attempting to resolve it yourself. Our pest management services are proactive, detail-driven, and efficient to ensure peace of mind, leaving no bed bug stragglers that could reintroduce an infestation.

Question 2

How long does it take pest management to get rid of bed bugs?

Accepted Answer

This varies depending on several factors. These include the specific services we carry out to rid your property of bed bugs (such as steaming, heating, monitoring, and other aspects of our corrective treatments) and the severity of the infestation. Typically, at least two targeted treatments are required, the second of which is intended to mitigate any surviving bed bugs that may have hatched after the initial treatment.

Question 3

What time of year is best for pest management?

Accepted Answer

This really depends on the type of pest you’re encountering. Warmer weather can introduce higher temperatures and more food sources, which can attract additional types of pests. Meanwhile, in the spring, pests coming out of hibernation may be seeking out resources and shelter. These include ants and spiders. If you’re unsure whether now is the time to address a specific pest issue on your property, reach out to us for an inspection – we’re happy to help you make an informed decision!
