Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish brown insects that feed exclusively on blood and they are one of the most stressful pests a homeowner can encounter. Adults are roughly the size of an apple seed, while nymphs are nearly translucent until they feed. Bed bugs do not fly or jump. Instead, they hitchhike on luggage, clothing, secondhand furniture, and other personal items, which is how they spread so easily between locations.
Once inside your home, they tend to harbor in mattress seams, box springs, headboards, and baseboards, staying close to where people sleep. Bites typically appear in clusters or lines and can cause itching and discomfort, though reactions vary from person to person. At Proforce Pest Control, we use a targeted combination of liquid treatments, aerosols, and dusts to address bed bug activity at every life stage.
Common signs include small reddish brown stains on your sheets from crushed bugs, tiny dark spots of excrement on mattress seams, and shed skins near sleeping areas. You may also notice clusters of itchy bites on exposed skin. If you suspect bed bugs, our team can confirm the issue through a thorough inspection. Sometimes photos alone are enough for an initial assessment.
Bed bugs are extremely difficult to treat without professional help. Over the counter sprays rarely reach the crevices where bed bugs hide, and improper treatment can scatter them to other rooms. Our process includes a multi step treatment with targeted products applied to harborage areas, followed by a complimentary two week follow up to address the full life cycle.
We will provide a detailed preparation sheet, but the key steps include laundering all bedding and linens on hot wash and dry cycles, storing clean items in airtight bags, clearing items from nightstands and dresser tops, and removing loose belongings from closet floors. Do not move furniture out of the room unless directed, as that can spread the problem.
The products we use are labeled for sensitive environments, including nursing homes and hospitals. You will need to stay out of treated areas for a minimum of three hours while products dry, and your service professional will explain exactly what to expect before, during, and after service.
