Seattle Bed Bugs

 

They're here... and the problem is EXPLODING. They will soon be our number one area pest.

If you think you might have Bed Bugs but aren't sure - we can inspect and or put out monitors to help you make sure.  It's worth the peace of mind. Bed Bug eggs and initial hatchlings can be too small to see with the naked eye.  They can nest on your bed or anywhere nearby.

 

Bed Bug Prevention

Get Rid of Bed Bugs

 

There are 3 main steps in Bed Bug control.

Inspection and Monitoring - to either see if you really have Bed Bugs and / or to make sure that they have been controlled.  We do charge a small fee but is fully applicable to any treatment should you need one.

Encasing your mattress and box springs to keep Bed Bugs from being able to nest on or in your bed.  We offer big discounts off the number one proven brand.

A treatment to kill as many of the bed bugs as possible. We can use low and non toxic effective, low/no odor control materials or steam - or both.

 

Bed Bug Inspection / Bed Bug Monitoring

 

One thing we are seeing, is a huge number of false positives.  People thinking they have bed bugs - when they don't. Which could be really good news to hear!

It is has always been a fact that people get rashes, skin irritations, and infections around hair follicles.  In the past these irritations, caused by bacteria, allergens (especially to prescriptions med's), and everyday skin reactions, have been both self diagnosed and reported erroneously by health care professionals to be spider bites, flea infestations, and other pest problems - when they weren't.

We strongly recommend monitors before and after treatments to verify Bed Bug activity or the lack thereof.

Regardless of the the type of treatment you choose, you recommend monitors are installed to make sure your treatment is working.

 

Bed Bug Control

 

All the experts recommend that you buy and use a good mattress encasement. There are dozens of companies providing mattress encasements.  99% of them are worthless. Real world tests by industry experts confirm that as few as two brands that actually work. It is super important to get one that is proven to protect you. 

WWW.PROTECTABED.COM sells encasements that pass the test. See our sheet on encasements - we can save you money on shipping AND off the web price if you give us advance notice of the sizes you need!

 

Bed Bug Treatments

 

There are many different options available for getting rid of bed bugs.  Some companies are really looking to cash in on bed bugs and make the big bucks.  We offer three effective affordable choices which work for most customers.

This link will lead you to more info on Spray, Steam, and Combo treatments. We have had success with each type of treatment.

We have found that very few customers need to spend thousands to have their entire home heat treated or all the objects inside it.

 

Non-Toxic Bed Bug Control

 

Both intense heat through the use of professional quality space heaters and high temperature steam can kill Bed Bugs. We do not recommend high heat as a home remedy as the risk of fire is too high.  We do provide high temperature steam treatments alone or in combination with pesticide applications.

It should be noted that the pesticides we use include all natural diatomaceous earth and a spray pesticide which has no fume or vapor and is half the acute toxicity of caffeine - but does still kill Bed Bugs.

While we offer many control choices. You are also involved in the choice. 

We will provide the level of service you request, and do good work for you, however, you got bed bugs from somewhere.  You may get them again. 

There are companies that offer much more expensive, much more drastic control options.

We believe that our control options will work for most customers but we do recommend continued monitoring and treatment as necessary for all bed bug infestations.

Bed Bugs have really long life cycles and pesticides no longer have really long residuals.
