pests

Bedbugs are back. We have been finding these nocturnal pests all over our service area. These bugs are up to ¼” long, without wings and usually a mahogany red in color. Immature specimens will be much smaller and the color will vary with how recently they have fed. By the way, the only thing bedbugs feed on is blood. They feed more like a mosquito (multiple light quick feedings) than like a tick that can latch on for days.

Proper control starts with permanently removing clutter from sleeping areas. We strongly recommend the use of mattress and boxspring encasements. Once the rooms are properly prepared, we use a combination of properly labeled residual insecticides to treat the contents.

We will spend the time to treat every crack and crevice. Service plans are available that cover a range of circumstances and budgets. In addition, we offer mattress encasements for various types and sizes of mattress.
