Bed Bug Extermination Using Pesticide
Our team always recommends heat treatment as the first options as it’s the most effective bed bug extermination method. Heat treatment is often preferred by our customers as it takes only one day to eliminate bed bugs and their eggs. If a heat treatment is out of the budget, then we offer a bed bug extermination with pesticide.
It Takes Longer To Exterminate Bed Bugs With Pesticide Vs Heat
Pesticide treatment takes 30 days or longer to eliminate all of the bed bugs. During the 30 days wait period under pesticide treatment customers may experience bites. Pesticide also may not always eliminate eggs and certain areas that are inaccessible. However, our team knows how to target troublesome areas so that when eggs do hatch, the bed bugs will come into contact with the pesticide.
How to Prepare For Pesticide Treatment
Entering The Home After Pesticide Treatment
All people and pets must be out of the areas where we apply pesticide for 6-24 hours.
How Long Does It Take To Apply The Pesticide
Treatment times will vary depending on the amount of rooms and furniture. It will take between 45 minutes to several hours to carefully apply the products in all of the cracks and crevices where the bed bugs may be hiding. Outlet covers and other wall plates may need to be removed to apply dry pesticide in those areas. It will take less time to complete treatment in a small apartment or hotel room than it would a large home or call center for example.
How long does pesticide treatment take to exterminate bed bugs?
It will take 30 days or longer for all of the bed bugs to be exterminated unless you choose a heat treatment. If you continue to have bed bugs 30 days after the application of the treatment, then our team will perform an additional treatment free of charge as long as you are within the warranty period.
Is pesticide treatment used for both small and large bed bug infestations?
Our team specializes in applying bed bug pesticide treatments and can successfully eliminate both large and small infestations using pesticide. We do recommend that all our customers consider the many benefits of heat treatment because it can completely eliminate your bed bug problem in one visit.
Should I be worried that pesticides being harmful to my family and pets?
Our team applies the pesticide to areas where your pets and people will not come into direct contact. Your family and pets should not have any issues with the pesticide. We consider the treatments both pet and people friendly.
Can I purchase the pesticides online or at a store?
Store bought pesticides will not completely eliminate your bedbug problems. Additionally, store bought pesticides most often only increase the problem as the repellent spreads the bugs to different areas of a room or home, but does not kill the bed bugs. The commercial products that our team uses are not recommended for homeowners. Our team obtains extensive training in following best industry standards that homeowners cannot receive by simply reading the label of a product. Lastly, if applied incorrectly bed bugs can gain a resistance to pesticides which makes completely eliminating bed bugs even more difficult. Licensed pesticide applicators should be the only people that use and handle commercial pesticides.
Do you have any guarantees for pesticide treatment?
Our team provides a guarantee for both heat treatments and pesticide treatments. There is a one year or eighteen month warranty when heat treatment is applied to an entire structure. Our pesticide treatments include a 6 month warranty for single family homes.
Do families need to leave their home?
This is one recommendation we cannot emphasize enough to our customers. We require that all people leave the home for a minimum of 6 hour to allow time for the pesticide to dry. Sensitive individuals and pets under 40 pounds must stay out of treated areas for 24 hours.
Can any items in my home be damaged?
Pesticide treatment does not risk damaging items in your home. Heat treatment has a more extensive preparation list for our customers which aims to help avoid damaging items that may be sensitive to heat treatment. If a home is prepped well then there is no risk of damaging items during heat treatment.
