Bed Bug Control Services: Inspection
Visual Inspection
With knowledge of entomology and years of experience, presence of a bed bug infestation (or just a single bed bug) can be detected using visual inspection techniques. This involves searching for evidence such as fecal matter, exoskeletons, eggs, or simply nypmhs and adult bed bugs. A visual inspection is fuelled by extensive knowledge (searching the correct areas, identification, behaviour, etc.); inspections without knowledge may easily lead to misidentification or failure.

Forensic Inspection
With the use of clever technologies, bed bugs and infestations can be detected in a forensic-like manner. Among such methods is the use of blue-light torch with an orange filter, helping to discover and observe physical evidence of infestations. Another approach is the use of CO2 and heat to stimulate bed bug activity - taking them out of hiding by simulating a resting body with the CO2 and heat.

Prevantative Treatment
A preventative strategy may be used against bed bugs in some areas of the home. This is decided after inspection findings. The procedures and measures of the preventative plan are used in areas that only require foundational measures to eliminate and prevent bed bugs. A resourceful method of extermination that saves clients' money.
Complete Extermination
A full treatment against an infestation requires scientific knowledge and inspection results. Using different bed bug control methods - often in succession - a bed bug infested room or home can be recovered. Among the many methods that help in performing complete exterminations is the use of dry steam coupled with another set of techniques. Steaming at 180° C, the dry steam method may be necessary in some situations and with appropriate use, residences and furniture remain unharmed and undamaged.
Bed Bug Control Services: Follow-up
Follow-Up
Following up services ensures service success and a bed bug-free home. It is also an oppurtunity for the client to remove lingering doubts and confusions by asking questions, and an oppurtunity to rid oneself of the trauma (caused by dealing with an infestation), through supportive therapy-like, educational assurance.

How Do I Check For Bed Bugs?
Simple Identification For Homeowners
Bed bugs hide, their scampering/bolting away may make some homeowners fearful to look for them, and a baby bed bug (nymph) are usually too difficult to discover for the un-trained eye. For these reasons, when you move around your mattress and investigate, you should be looking not only for brown adult bed bugs and yellow pale nymphs, but also, in-animate evidence such as white bed bug eggs, and black bed bug feces. Use the following steps to help you conduct a search for bed bug evidence in your room:
- Thoroughly check the seams of your mattress and joints of the bed frame
- Investigate all wooden constructs of the bed carefully as bed bugs may blend in with the colour of wood
- Flatten and stretch fabric properties of bedroom furniture to properly see bugs and eggs hiding under fabric folds
- Checking basebords near the bed may yield effortless fecal matter findings due to the contrast in colour
Not finding evidence using the above steps is not a confirmation that you are bed bug free. The bed bug exterminator inspection is distinguished from a regular homeowner inspection because a simple homeowner check lacks extensiveness, detail, and is not sufficient to draw a bed bug extermination plan upon. An expert bed bug inspection determines the entire scope and far-reaching effects of the infestation. Thus, it is necessary in order to eliminate the bed bugs from every single source and hiding spot.
How Do You Even Get Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs may transport using bags, humans, clothing, luggage. They may get off at any spot and then aboard another bag, or the clothing of a new person. Thus, apart from hotel rooms, bed bugs may latch on to you or your belongings from the fabric and cushiony seats found in movie theatres, public transportation vehicles, airplanes, and hospitals. With cases Pest Solution Services has previously dealt with, sources of infestations can even be a continuous guest who visits your home frequently (such as a client who comes many times to your home office).

Do I Have Bed Bug Bites?
Reactive Individuals
Some bodies react to the bites of bed bugs and a red bump appears at the place of bite. Seeing the marks is the first sign for a homeowner that something is wrong, however it does not mean you have bed bugs because similar reactions can appear due to carpet beetles or mosquitoes. It is a must to know the characteristics of bed bug bites in order to be near-certain that the reaction you have is truly due to bed bugs in your home.
Non-Reactive Individuals
Few individuals show no reaction to bed bug bites. Bites are the first alarming factor for homeowners, thus, un-reactive individuals have infestations that remain un-noticed until the bed bug population reaches drastic levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
I found bed bugs in one room of my house, so does that mean my whole house is infested?
Not necessarily. Unless the problem has been left neglected for a long time, finding bed bugs in one room does not justify assuming the entire house is infested. An expert inspection can determine the level of infestation of each room and the entire house accurately.
Can I get rid of bed bugs by myself?
Many homeowners seek to get rid of bed bugs by themselves by looking for over-the-counter insect sprays and buying in to poor tips given online. It is best to practice professional control methods before the infestation becomes extremely damaging and unhealthy. Professional services provide homeowners with the correct perspective of their infestation, and completely solve the problem with the tools that homeowners may never have access to. With a professional service, bed bug infestations are removed completely, whereas Do-It-Yourself methods result in prolonged infestations and uncertainty.
Do bed bugs fly or jump?
No. Bed bugs crawl, and that is how they may reach from one room to another. They also get transported to another place via clothing and bags. They do not fly, nor jump.
Are bed bugs visible with the naked eye?
Yes, all life stages of the bed bugs can be spotted with the naked eye. However, some life stages are more easier to see than others: the adult bed bug is the easiest to recognize.
What parts of the body do bed bugs usually bite?
They may bite and feed on any part of the body, but most likely the hands, feet, arms, shoulders, and neck. In the bed bug bites section above, you can find a picture where you see many bites on the arm compared to the side of the stomach (which only has a few).
How do I heal from bed bug bites?
Previous research has concluded that bed bugs bites do not amount to a person receiving a disease. However, it is your responsibility to consult a medical professional for a medical opinion and a practical way to get relief for the symptoms of the bites.
