Tips for Getting Rid of Bed Bugs

Common household pests rear their little nuisance heads at various times throughout the year. In April through September you're more likely to run into mosquitoes, and in October to February you have a better chance of seeing a mouse scurry across your floor. However, bed bugs have a habit of showing up year-round. We at IPM Pest & Termite know this and can assist you in getting rid of bed bugs that have become unwanted guests in your home.

These insects are either brown or reddish-brown in color and are known to bite exposed skin in the nighttime. They are known to live in tight spaces, such as seams of a mattress or in the spines of books. Unfortunately, they can be picked up anywhere, ranging from stores to hotels, but there is a proven method of getting rid of bed bugs.

To conduct this process, we utilize a combination of things, such as mechanical approaches like vacuuming, treating the affected area with heat, and encasing mattress and box springs. Anyone who needs to begin getting rid of bed bugs is suggested to contact professionals, such as IPM Pest & Termite, in order to fully eradicate the space.

However, if you only suspect that your home may be inhabited by these unwanted pests then we also offer in-home inspections. At these appointments, we can also offer treatment recommendations if deemed necessary. Our staff continually stays up to date on the latest procedures and best products to use in order to get the job done. We also regularly attend educational efforts in order to maintain the most current information available when it comes to getting rid of bed bugs.

It is also important to note that in many cases we do not require extensive preliminary prep before getting rid of bed bugs.
