When you have a bed bug problem, taking care of it can seem overwhelming. There is a lot of information available about the effectiveness of different bed bug removal methods… lots of sprays and foggers to pick from, and a phone book full of exterminators. How do you know which one is the best? We\u2019ll walk you through how to choose a bed bug exterminator and get the peace of mind that comes with a bug-free home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Try to Be an Exterminator<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re standing in front of a bunch of sprays and <\/span>foggers<\/span><\/a> that promise to get rid of bed bugs, it\u2019s tempting to just grab a $10 spray and just do it yourself. However, do-it-yourself bed bug removal isn\u2019t a great idea. The problem with sprays and other at-home bed bug removal products is that bed bugs are sneaky<\/a> and tiny and can scurry away from threats pretty easily. Consequently, if you aim a canister at a group of bed bugs and start spraying, you\u2019ll catch a few of them, but the rest of the group will figure out what\u2019s going on and start running away. Those bugs will get into the tiniest crack or crevice and hide away until the danger is gone, and you won\u2019t be able to get all of them. This means that when all is said and done, your home will smell like chemicals and you will still have a bed bug problem. That is why it is important to entrust a professional bed bug exterminator with any infestation, no matter how big or small you think it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Your Research<\/span><\/h3>\n

Research is very important when you have a problem in your home, such as bed bugs. After all, you\u2019re inviting strangers into your home and entrusting them to make your living environment safe and comfortable, so you want to make sure you\u2019re hiring a trustworthy bed bug exterminator company whose methods of extermination will work for you, your family, and your home. It\u2019s always a good idea to use Yelp or some other review site to check out what a business\u2019s customers are saying about them and about their service, as well as asking your friends and family if they\u2019ve ever patronized that particular business. Check the company\u2019s website to see what kind of bed bug extermination method or methods they use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Methods Should I Try to Avoid?<\/span><\/h3>\n

You might be wondering if there are any bed bug removal methods that you should refrain from using. The answer to that depends on your lifestyle, your home, and how bad your bed bug problem is. If you have children or pets, live with elderly relatives, or have health problems (especially respiratory problems), you may want to steer clear of chemical treatments. The fumes can linger in your home for a while after the treatment is complete. Not only is the smell unpleasant, chemical odors can also cause breathing trouble, migraines, and other problems. Vacuuming bed bugs is also not a great idea. Believe it or not, a vacuum may not kill bed bugs. If you do this, you\u2019ll also probably need to vacuum more than once to get rid of the infestation, and the whole vacuum has to be very carefully cleaned afterward. It\u2019s a good idea to pick a treatment that doesn\u2019t need to be repeated several times.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Best Treatment Method?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Generally, the <\/span>safest <\/span><\/a>and most effective way to treat a space for bed bugs is heat treatment<\/a>. Heat treatment involves moving furniture away from walls, then heating a home or business to about 120 degrees, a temperature that is fatal to bed bugs. The heat will be moved through the space with large heaters, and the space will remain at a high temperature for several hours. The bed bugs cannot tolerate the heat and will die, no matter how small of a space they\u2019ve managed to wedge themselves into. After the treatment, the equipment is removed from your home and your furniture is put back, and you\u2019ll have peace of mind knowing that the bugs are gone. When choosing an exterminator, consider one that uses heat treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
