We kill bed bugs in every stage of life by raising the temperature around them to 125 degrees. This wipes out the entire population from eggs to adults and is effective in a single treatment.

Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on blood during the night. At less than a quarter of an inch when fully grown (about the size of an apple seed), their smallness makes it challenging to find them. Bed bugs bite in order to feed, making them both painful and irritating unwanted house guests. Worse, a few bed bugs can turn into a multitude of bed bugs quickly. They lay four to five eggs a day with young so small that they’re difficult to see—about the size of a pinhead.

If you have a bed bug problem, the pests are almost certainly from an external source. Bed bugs do not result from sanitation problems in your home. Instead, they come into your home on luggage, clothing and other belongings from having recently stayed in hotels, apartments and even college dorms—a student who’s home for the weekend can unknowingly transport them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my house has a bed bug problem?

Despite their sneaky size, bed bugs leave clues to their presence in addition to bite symptoms–especially in mattresses and bed coverings, on bed frames, and behind headboards and baseboards. Bed bugs can crawl up to 100 feet, so you may even find telltale signs on nightstands, in drawers or behind pictures.

Once you begin to search for them, you will generally find dead bed bugs, their exoskeletons (which come off when they shed them) and dark-red spots from blood-filled fecal matter. You may also notice a sweet, musty odor.

Do bed bugs carry diseases, and are their bites poisonous?

Bed bugs do not transport disease, and their bites are not poisonous; they’re just very annoying.

According to the CDC, some people have no reaction at all to bed bug bites, while others may have a strong allergic reaction. The most common result of bed bug bites are skin irritation, itching and some redness, with some people experiencing swelling around the bites.

Reactions to bed bug bites can be immediate but in some cases it can take up to two weeks to manifest. Commonly, the bites appear in a straight line, very close together, because when disturbed while feeding, the bed bug may wait just a moment to resume and will move very little.

What is tent fumigation service, and when is it needed for bed bug treatment?

Tent fumigation, or “tenting”, is a highly effective solution for eliminating serious bed bug infestations. Preparation for fumigation can be extensive, requires thoughtful coordination, and follows strict safety procedures. Tenting a home for bed bugs should always be done by a professional with proper certifications and licensing in order to be performed safely and effectively.

What rules does ABC follow with regards to safety when using fumigant gas for bed bug treatment?

Safety is our number one priority when treating your home. We adhere to strict guidelines set forth by the fumigant manufacturer as well as state and federal regulatory agencies. During all structural fumigations, ABC regularly monitors the fumigant levels within the structure for efficacy, as well as the air outside the structure. We use specially designed equipment capable of detecting fumigant levels as low as 1 part per million (ppm). We employ aeration times far exceeding what is required by law and confirm 0 ppm clearance levels multiple times before allowing you and your family to return to your home. Additionally, we follow all manufacturer recommendations, including not fumigating homes with attics enclosed in polyurethane spray foam insulation (PSFI).

We care about our customers, and want them to be informed about products and safe handling. For more information about gas treatment and safety measures, visit:

“Ales did an amazing job with our consult appointment and we ended up contracting with ABC for an install on a water treatment system. He’s was timely, friendly, and completely professional. In fact, he answered questions that other estimators and sales reps from other companies left unanswered, and it was quite apparent that he was being more truthful and honest in his recommendations than some of the other companies we got estimates from. I greatly appreciate that he did not try to sell us on something that we did not need, or on an application that would not work on our property. We live in an older home that is definitely a fixer-upper, and we will definitely be calling on ABC Home and Commercial Services in the future for estimates on other projects. If you are in the market for a water treatment system for your home, or a number of other upgrades, you should definitely reach out to this company.”

“I didn’t realize until very recently that ABC has handyman services, as well as the myriad of other services they provide. John Nolker did a great job replacing drywall in my ceiling; it turned out to be a bigger project than anticipated and he was transparent throughout the entire process. He also helped clear away some insulation in my attic that was causing havoc near my attic and bathroom fans, as well as replacing a door knob and weather stripping. Super nice guy to boot. I highly recommend ABC handyman services and specifically John. Patrick Murray came back to do the floating and texturing and did a great job as well! Also super nice and helpful. Both excellent and professional. Definitely will be using ABC in the future. ..”
