Bed Bug Control

Bed Bug Control (Starting from $300 per room)

Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate, and effective treatment typically requires multiple sessions. Our treatment protocol combines a biopesticide (Beauveria bassiana), long lasting (10 year) insecticidal dust, high pressure steam treatment, vacuuming, bed bug interceptors, and mattress/box spring encasements.

Our Treatment Protocol:

• Aprehend Biopesticide – A fungal pathogen (Beauveria bassiana) that spreads through the bed bug population, killing entire infestations over time. Aprehend will continue to work for up to three months.
• Insecticidal Dust – A long-lasting (10 year), non-toxic dust applied to cracks and crevices to eliminate bed bugs.
• Steam Treatment – High pressure steam (above 220° F) to kill bed bugs and eggs instantly on contact.
• Vacuuming – We use a powerful vacuum to remove bed bugs, eggs, and debris, focusing on beds, furniture, and behind appliances.
• Bed Bug Interceptors – Placed under bed and furniture legs to trap bed bugs and monitor the extent of the infestation and the effectiveness of treatment.
• Mattress & Box Spring Encasements – Essential for sealing in any surviving bed bugs and preventing re-infestation. Purchased and installed by customer.
• Severe Infestations - For severe infestations, it may be necessary for us to drill 3/8" holes in the walls in order to apply a long lasting (10 years) insecticidal dust, and/or remove baseboards to eliminate any bed bugs hiding there.

Effectiveness

• 90-95% success rate after one treatment.
• 98-99% success rate after two treatments.
• Near 100% success rate after three treatments.
• Heat treatments cost $300 - $800 per room with similar success rates (~90%), but may cause heat damage to the structure or to personal property.

Preparation:

Before treatment, remove all bedding, pillowcases, and covers from mattresses and box springs. Remove clutter from bedrooms and closets, making sure that we have unrestricted access to baseboards, beds, and furniture. Remove contents (shoes, clothing, etc.) from closets. Eliminating or minimizing clutter in the bedrooms and closets will greatly increase the effectiveness of treatment.

Prices may vary depending on the size of the property, severity of infestation, and complexity of work. There is a $100 missed appointment fee. Prices subject to change without notice.
