Bed Bug Extermination Service in Indianapolis

Indianapolis Bed Bug Extermination: Multi-Step Guaranteed Control

Stop Sleepless Nights with Our Guaranteed Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate on your own, and effective, permanent treatment requires a comprehensive, multi-session approach. Our specialized Seven-Step Treatment Protocol is designed for the maximum chance of success, leveraging cutting-edge biopesticides and proven mechanical methods to target bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle.

We understand the stress and discomfort of a bed bug infestation. Our goal is to provide discreet, effective service that completely eradicates the problem from your Indianapolis home or business.

Recognizing a Bed Bug Infestation

Before treatment can begin, it’s critical to confirm the pest is, in fact, a bed bug. Look for these signs, typically found within 8 feet of where people sleep or rest:

• Red, Itchy Bites: Usually found in a line or cluster pattern (sometimes called "breakfast, lunch, and dinner").
• Fecal Spots: Tiny, dark, rust-colored spots on sheets, mattresses, or walls.
• Shed Skins: Pale, empty exoskeletons (nymph casings) found near the bed frame, mattress seams, or upholstered furniture.
• Live Bugs: Small (apple seed size), reddish-brown, oval, and flattened insects, often found hiding in mattress seams or behind the headboard.

Our Comprehensive Seven-Step Bed Bug Treatment Protocol

Because bed bugs breed quickly and hide effectively, effective treatment typically requires multiple sessions, but our multi-pronged approach yields high success rates:

1. Aprehend Biopesticide – The gold standard in bed bug control. We apply a fungal pathogen (Beauveria bassiana) that spreads throughout the bed bug population, killing entire infestations over time. Aprehend will continue to work for up to three months, with full colony elimination expected within 14–21 days.
2. Insecticidal Dust – A long-lasting (up to 10 years of effectiveness), non-toxic dust applied deep into cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide.
3. Steam Treatment – We use high-pressure steam (above 220° F) to kill bed bugs and their eggs instantly on contact in localized areas, such as mattress seams and furniture joints.
4. Vacuuming – A powerful vacuum is used to remove visible bed bugs, eggs, and debris, focusing on beds, furniture, and behind appliances to immediately reduce the population.
5. Bed Bug Interceptors – These are placed under bed and furniture legs to trap moving bed bugs, helping us monitor the extent of the infestation and the effectiveness of the treatment.
6. Mattress & Box Spring Encasements – Required for sealing in any surviving bed bugs and preventing immediate re-infestation. *These must be purchased and installed by the customer.* We recommend high-quality options like the SafeRest Zippered Mattress Protector.
7. Severe Infestations - For severe, entrenched infestations, it may be necessary for us to drill 3/8" holes in the walls and/or remove baseboards to apply long-lasting insecticidal dust or foam deep into structural voids.

Success Rates and Comparative Cost

Our commitment to a multi-visit protocol ensures maximum effectiveness:

• 90-95% success rate after one treatment.
• 98-99% success rate after two treatments.
• Near 100% success rate after three treatments.

In comparison, single-session heat treatments often cost $300 - $800 per room with similar success rates (~90%), but carry the risk of heat damage to the structure or personal property. Our chemical and biopesticide approach is a safer, highly effective alternative.

Critical Preparation Checklist for Treatment

The success of the treatment is highly dependent on customer preparation. Eliminating or minimizing clutter in the bedrooms and closets will greatly increase the effectiveness of the treatment.

Before treatment, please complete the following:

• Laundry: Wash and dry all bedding, clothing, and linens on the hottest setting possible. Place cleaned items in sealed plastic bags.
• Clutter Removal: Remove all items (books, shoes, clothes, toys) from the floor, closets, and under the bed.
• Access: Ensure we have unrestricted access to baseboards, beds, and all furniture in the affected rooms.

Pricing: $500/room minimum.

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.
