Bed Bug Exterminator in Tyler, TX

Experts in Bed Bug Control

Bed bug infestations are notorious for being difficult to control, which is why it’s important to enlist an experienced pest control company with a proven process to get rid of these home invaders—for good.

One of the reasons DIY approaches to bed bug control almost always fail is that these tiny creatures are experts at hiding in the most narrow spaces in your home. Some of the areas where bed bugs can conceal themselves include in the folds of your mattress, box spring, sheets, blankets, pillows and furniture cushions where we sleep and rest. Once a bed bug population grows in your home, these parasites can move into other areas, including around your nightstand, wall outlets, baseboards and even in places you wouldn’t expect, including your wall hangings.

Bed bugs often prey on us while we are fast asleep, and in some cases, we don’t feel the bite enough to wake us up. When a bed bug is full of our blood, it retreats, often surviving for extended periods of time hidden away, only to re-emerge when a homeowner assumes bed bugs have been eliminated. For these reasons, homes can easily be reinfested without the proper treatment.

Depending on the nature and extent of your problem, our experts may recommend one or both of the following treatment methods:

• Spot treatments to pinpoint the source of your problem and other common problem areas for these pesky pests
• Broader spectrum products to provide you with more holistic protection against bed bugs throughout your home

Some of the preventative measures our technicians may recommend to prevent a recurrence include investing in casements for your pillows, box springs and mattresses; washing your linens in hot water; inspecting all second-hand bags, clothing and furniture before you bring it into your home and avoiding clutter that can provide harborage for bed bugs and other pests.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

One of the reasons bed bugs have become a public health concern is that they can often come back, giving them the ability to upend your normal routine for months, especially if a homeowner attempts to control the problem on their own. Part of this is because they are so small and remain hidden for long periods of time in hard-to-reach spaces.

The usual starting point for an infestation is on a bag or piece of luggage that you bring back into your home after a trip. If you have had a problem, or want to prevent one, carefully inspect your hotel rooms for signs of dark red spots on sheets and furniture with a flashlight.

We recommend putting all clothing after a trip directly into the washing machine and using hot water to wash your clothes and the hot setting on your dryer, as this can kill bed bugs and eggs. Leave your luggage in your garage to prevent live bed bugs and eggs from making it inside.

If you purchase an item of clothing, coat, bag or furniture from a second-hand store or garage sale, take a very close look before bringing it inside to prevent a reinfestation.
