Bed bug control from Knockout Pest Control, Inc. can eliminate the proliferation of these annoying, blood thirsty insects for good! Bed bug infestations usually begin with just a few bugs brought into buildings through clothing, luggage or second-hand bedding and furniture. In order to eradicate the infestation, bed bug control specialists like those at Knockout Pest Control need to locate these tiny bugs. Our unique bed bug dog inspectors, along with our human specialists can locate and then control these bed bug intruders.
Bed Bugs hide in very small crevices, such as:
- Seams in bed linens and upholstery.
- Behind wood trim, wallpaper and light switches.
- Inside electrical boxes and floors.
Other signs of bed bug infestation will be the appearance of small brownish or reddish dots on bed linens; these are bed bug fecal spots or droppings. You might also notice swelling and itching in places where you have been bitten by bed bugs. This is not harmful. An infestation of bed bugs is NOT evidence of unclean or unsanitary living areas. But it is a definite sign that you need bed bug eradication immediately.
Bed Bug Eradication Methods
Bed bug eradication requires identification of these 1/4” long, flat and oval, reddish brown insects. Our complete human and/or bed bug dog inspection will also determine their location. Then our professional pest control specialists will select the necessary bed bug eradication methods.
