Live Bugs

Odor
The Bed Bug Inspection Process
After Your Treatment
We’ll guide you on monitoring results and ensuring bed bugs are fully eliminated.
Limit Contact With the Source
After treatment, there are 2 major factors to pay attention to. First, whoever you got the bed bugs from—we recommend limiting visiting that person until they are confirmed to be bed bug-free.
Treat Removed Items Before Return
If infested items were removed from the house so it could be treated, all items must be treated before coming back inside. Bed bugs can live up to a year without biting us.
Know When to Reach Out
If there is any live activity after a heat treatment, let us know ASAP. For chemical, wait 2 weeks after the final treatment. For fungicide, wait 30 days.
Take a Photo if You’re Unsure
After a bed bug treatment, all bugs can feel like bed bugs. Sending a photo allows us to quickly confirm and give immediate peace of mind if it’s not.
Accuracy is Everything
Without proper detection, bed bug treatments can miss hidden activity. A detailed inspection ensures the problem is fully understood, so the right solution is applied the first time.
