Bed Bug Treatment at Your Home

Bed bugs are notoriously hard to detect and can be challenging to remove. They’re expert hitchhikers — hiding on luggage, clothing, upholstered furniture, and bed frames. Bed bugs are also excellent hiders, but their aggregate pheromone odors can’t hide from animals with sensitive noses, like dogs. The Waltham Canine Bed Bug detection team has a handler and a pup trained daily using live bed bug scent and are even trained and evaluated with more frequency than the national scent detection standard – which is why our dog is 95-98% effective at sniffing out just one bed bug. Even just one bed bug egg! It’s a great way to be proactive about bed bugs. You can get more information about the team here. Whether you have proactive inspections done by our dog or choose our traditional or heat treatments, Waltham will discreetly help you eliminate these pests and get back to a good night’s sleep.

Bed bugs will bite and feed on people and pets. The bites are relatively painless but can turn in to painful, itchy red welts pretty quickly – especially for people sensitive to them. Just the thought of bed bugs can be traumatizing enough but they are also difficult to get rid of. Proper bed bug extermination is contingent on the preparation steps being checked off. As long as the area is prepared correctly, a professional bed bug exterminator should be able to take care of them quickly and effectively. Check out these 7 steps to prepare for bed bug treatments to make sure you’re checking off everything on your bed bug preparation checklist.
