Case Study: Bed Bug Infestation on a Boat in Toronto / GTA

Boat Bedroom Infested with Bed Bugs Behind Custom Woodwork

A couple of years ago, our pest control team was called to a severe bed bug infestation on a docked boat in Toronto. The two bedrooms had two beds and extensive custom woodwork behind the bed frames, the perfect hidden space for bed bugs to breed.

The client had already contacted two different pest control companies, but neither could solve the issue. The infestation kept coming back, especially behind the wall paneling and wooden trim.

Expert Bed Bug Inspection by Licensed Entomologist

Our licensed entomologist was called in to investigate. Using specialized tools and years of field experience, he conducted a detailed bed bug inspection and quickly diagnosed the source. The entire wood structure behind the beds was infested.

Unlike other companies that used only surface sprays, we took a scientific and structural approach to bed bug control.

Bed Bug Treatment on Boat: Safe, Precise, and Effective

We implemented a custom bed bug extermination plan, including:

• Safe removal of the entire wooden backing behind the beds
  
• Targeted bed bug extermination using professional-grade mechanical and chemical treatments
  
• Reinstallation of the woodwork with zero damage
  
• Follow-up inspections to confirm 100% elimination of bed bugs
  

This type of detailed pest control is rare and requires expert-level training, especially in confined, sensitive spaces like boats.

Client Testimonial: “You Saved My Boat”

The couple that owned the boat was so thrilled with the results that they personally invited our entomologist’s family for a private boat ride around Ontario Place to show their appreciation.

They told us that no one else was able to solve the problem, and our team not only fixed it but preserved the original woodwork flawlessly.

Why You Need Professional Bed Bug Exterminators for Boats

This case proves that bed bug infestations in boats or yachts need a much more thorough approach than typical home treatments. Hidden woodwork, tight spaces, and constant movement can make these infestations extremely hard to find and treat without expert help.

If you’re dealing with a similar issue, in a boat, RV, cottage, or hotels, contact our bed bug removal experts and let our licensed entomologist inspect and treat the issue from the source.
