Think you have bed bugs?
Bed bugs spread easily and hide in tiny cracks. This page shows you how to identify them, what to do next, and how our professional heat treatment eliminates adults and eggs.
Same-day or next-day availability may be possible depending on schedule. Call for a quick evaluation.
Don’t move infested items to another room or to a friend’s house—this is one of the fastest ways bed bugs spread.
Common signs of bed bugs
1) Bites (not always)
Often appear in lines or clusters. Some people don’t react at all.
2) Spots & stains
Small dark dots on sheets, mattress seams, or along baseboards.
3) Live bugs / shed skins
Check mattress seams, headboards, couches, and cracks near sleeping areas.
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers. Hotels, used furniture, visitors, and shared laundry areas can all introduce them.

FAQ
Can bed bugs live in clean homes?
Yes. Bed bugs don’t care about cleanliness—only access to people. They hitchhike in luggage, furniture, and clothing.
Do I need to throw away my mattress?
Usually no. Many infestations can be treated without discarding mattresses or furniture—especially with a professional plan.
Will I see bed bugs after treatment?
You may see activity as bed bugs are driven from hiding spots. We’ll explain what’s normal and what to report.
