Understanding Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped insects that feed exclusively on blood. While they aren’t known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause:
- Itchy welts and skin rashes
- Allergic reactions
- Secondary skin infections
- Sleep disturbances
- Significant psychological distress
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to control because:
- They hide in tiny cracks and crevices
- They can survive for months without feeding
- Females lay hundreds of eggs during their lifetime
- They've developed resistance to many pesticides
- They can travel easily on luggage, furniture, and clothing

FAQ
How can I tell if I have bed bugs?
Common signs include red, itchy bites (often in lines or clusters), small blood spots on bedding, dark fecal spots on mattresses or furniture, shed skins, and live bugs (particularly along mattress seams, headboards, and nearby furniture). Our thorough inspection can confirm bed bug presence.
How many treatments are needed to eliminate bed bugs?
Conventional treatments typically require 2-3 visits spaced 2 weeks apart to address the complete life cycle. Heat treatments often achieve elimination in a single visit but may be supplemented with targeted conventional treatments for optimal results. Every infestation is different, and our program includes as many treatments as needed to achieve elimination.
How should I prepare for bed bug treatment?
We provide detailed preparation instructions before treatment, which may include laundering and bagging clothing, removing clutter, moving furniture away from walls, and vacuuming. Our goal is to make preparation manageable while ensuring treatment effectiveness.
Can I stay in my home during treatment?
For conventional treatments, you’ll need to leave during application and return after the treatment has dried (typically 4-6 hours). For heat treatments, you’ll need to be out of the home for the entire treatment day (typically 6-8 hours). We provide specific instructions for each situation.
How do I prevent bringing bed bugs home from travel?
We recommend inspecting hotel rooms upon arrival, keeping luggage elevated and away from beds, inspecting luggage before bringing it into your home, and laundering travel clothing in hot water immediately upon return. We provide detailed travel guidelines for our customers.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover bed bug treatment?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover bed bug treatment. However, some landlord policies may cover treatment in rental properties. We can provide detailed documentation for insurance claims if needed.
Warren County
Are bed bugs common in Warren County's rural areas?
While often considered an urban problem, bed bugs can affect any home regardless of location or cleanliness.

Our treatment approach for these more isolated properties focuses on thorough elimination to prevent reintroduction in areas where professional services may be less readily available.
How does Warren County's older housing stock affect bed bug treatments?
Historic and older homes in Warren County often present unique challenges for bed bug control due to more hiding places in ornate woodwork, plaster walls with cracks, and original wooden floors. Our technicians are experienced with these structures and adjust treatment strategies to address these architectural features while preserving their character.
