Bed Bug Control in Syracuse, NY

Bed bugs are tiny, blood-sucking pests that represent a significant problem due to their reproduction rate and resilience. Their reddish-brown bodies are oval and flat, allowing them to hide in the smallest spaces during the day and emerge at night to feed. They are most active at night, making it difficult for individuals to detect them without a thorough inspection.

Our technicians are well-versed in the latest pest control techniques to target all life stages and eliminate infestations at the source. We use environmentally responsible products that are safe for families and pets, reducing harsh chemicals without compromising effectiveness.

Common Bed Bug Hideouts

These elusive pests can hide in the smallest spaces, often undetected, until their population becomes significant. 

Some common places bed bugs hide and lay eggs include:

• Seams, tufts, and folds of mattresses and box springs
• Cracks and joints of bed frames and headboards
• Folds and seams of upholstered furniture
• Behind wall fixtures such as light switches and electrical outlets
• Gaps between baseboards and walls or carpet edges
• Inside folds and seams of curtains
• Pockets and folds of clothing and luggage
• Small electronics and appliances near sleeping areas

Our Approach to Bed Bug Control

We take a strategic approach, combining industry-leading techniques with our extensive experience to provide you with the most effective treatment possible. Our trained technicians check all the common nesting areas and even the less obvious places. We consider factors such as the infestation's size, your space's layout, and your family's needs.

Our technicians employ various advanced treatment methods, including:

• Heat treatments: We raise the temperature of your space to a level that is fatal to bed bugs in all stages of their life cycle but safe for your property.
• Chemical treatments: When necessary, we carefully apply selected and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved chemical treatments to provide another layer of defense, particularly in areas where heat treatment may not be feasible.
• Integrated pest management (IPM): We incorporate elements of IPM into our strategy, which may include physical barriers, regular monitoring, and maintenance practices that help prevent future infestations.

Our service doesn't end with treatment. We conduct follow-up visits for additional inspections and, if necessary, further treatments to protect your home from future infestations.

How to Prevent Bed Bug Infestations

While bed bugs can sneak into even the cleanest living spaces, there are some steps you can take to lower your risk of an infestation, such as:

• Inspect second-hand furniture before bringing it into your home. Pay special attention to seams, folds, and crevices.
• Use protective covers to prevent bed bugs from entering or escaping common hiding spots.
• Vacuum regularly to help remove early-stage bed bugs from floors, rugs, and upholstered furniture. 
• Reduce space clutter to reduce the number of spots where bed bugs can reside.
• Be mindful when traveling; wash all your clothes in hot water and dry them in a high-heat setting.
• Seal entry points like cracks in walls and around baseboards, and seal gaps around cables and pipes. 
• Consider professional inspections, especially in multi-unit living spaces.
• Our expert technicians are skilled and committed to delivering quality service at an affordable price.
