Where are bed bugs usually found?
Bed bugs usually stay close to where people sleep or sit. Common hiding places include mattress seams, box springs, headboards, bed frames, couches, chairs, baseboards, wall cracks, luggage, bags, and upholstered furniture. In apartments and condos, they can also travel between rooms or suites through small gaps and shared walls.
What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?
Watch for live bed bugs, tiny white eggs, cast skins, dark spots on mattresses or bedding, blood marks on sheets, and itchy bites. Heavier infestations can also give off a musty smell. Keep in mind that not everyone reacts to bites, so you can have bed bugs even without any visible marks.
Can pest control get rid of bed bugs?
Yes, when the right method is used. Bed bugs are very hard to wipe out with DIY sprays because they hide in cracks, furniture, mattresses, and wall voids. At We Clean Pest Control, our non-chemical bed bug heat treatment is designed to kill both live bed bugs and their eggs in a single treatment.
How much does pest control cost for bed bugs?
Pricing for bed bug treatment in Calgary depends on the size of the property, how many rooms are affected, how severe the infestation is, the treatment method, preparation needs, and whether you need same-day or emergency service. We offer a best price guarantee or 10% under the competition, plus a free consultation so you know your best option before booking.
How effective is pest control for bed bugs?
Professional treatment is highly effective when it reaches every place bed bugs and eggs are hiding. Heat treatment works especially well because, when done properly, the heat penetrates furniture, mattresses, cracks, and other hiding spots. Our goal is to eliminate the infestation quickly and have you sleeping worry-free again within 24 hours.
What does your pest control company use for bed bugs?
Companies may use heat, chemical sprays, steam, dusts, vacuuming, mattress encasements, monitors, or a mix of these. At We Clean Pest Control, our main solution is non-chemical bed bug heat treatment, which is safe for families and pets and designed to eliminate bed bugs without relying on pesticide sprays.
Can bed bugs be removed in one treatment?
Yes, in many cases one properly performed heat treatment is enough. Results depend on the size of the infestation, the layout of the property, the amount of clutter, and whether bed bugs are brought back in afterward. Our heat treatment is designed to kill bed bugs and eggs in one visit and is backed by our service guarantee.
Is bed bug heat treatment safe for families and pets?
Yes. Our non-chemical bed bug heat treatment is designed to be safe for families and pets. You will need to step out while the treatment runs, but you can return as soon as the service is complete and the space is safe to re-enter, following our instructions.
How long do I need to leave the home during treatment?
For a heat treatment, plan to be away from the property while it runs. In many cases, customers are out for about 24 hours while we eliminate the bed bugs. We will explain the exact timing and re-entry steps before your appointment.
Do bed bugs spread diseases?
Bed bugs are not known for spreading disease, but they can cause stress, discomfort, itching, skin irritation, lost sleep, and anxiety. Scratching the bites can irritate the skin further. Even though they are not the same kind of health risk as some other pests, bed bugs should be treated quickly before the infestation grows.
What do bed bug bites look like?
Bites often show up as small red bumps, itchy welts, or marks in a line or cluster. Some people find several bites close together, often called a “breakfast, lunch, and dinner” pattern. Reactions vary a lot, though. Some people react strongly, while others show no visible marks.
How did I get bed bugs?
Bed bugs can be picked up in hotels, apartments, shared laundry rooms, on the C-Train or bus, in used furniture, luggage, from visitors, at work, or from neighbouring suites. They are not a sign of a dirty home. They spread by hiding in belongings and getting carried from place to place.
Who is at risk for a bed bug infestation?
Anyone can get bed bugs. People who travel, live in multi-unit buildings, buy second-hand furniture, work in shared spaces, or have frequent visitors face a higher risk. Bed bugs can turn up in clean homes, luxury condos, apartments, and businesses.
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
Very small problems can sometimes be reduced with high-heat drying, vacuuming, inspection, and prevention, but bed bugs are very hard to wipe out completely without professional treatment. Eggs and hidden bugs survive in cracks, furniture, mattresses, and walls, and DIY sprays can push bed bugs even deeper into hiding.
