Bed Bug Relief for Las Vegas
We perform detailed inspections, conventional treatments and follow-up visits, guided by a clear written preparation checklist for your home.
Recognizing bed bugs in your home
Skin bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs in a home. A technician performs an inspection to confirm activity, as early infestations can be difficult to locate.
Rust-colored spots
You may notice small rust-colored spots on mattress seams or bed sheets.
Shed insect skins
Growing bed bugs cast off skins, leaving small translucent shells near sleeping areas.
Tiny pale eggs
Small whitish eggs and eggshells can gather in mattress folds or furniture joints.
Bites in a line
Skin welts or itchy bites often show up in small lines or clusters on exposed skin.
Visible adult insects
Adult bed bugs are flat, oval and brown, swelling to reddish brown after feeding.
Baseboard activity
Insects, shed skins, or small rust-colored spots can appear along mattress seams, furniture, and baseboards.
How we inspect for bed bugs
Checking sleeping areas
Our technician examines mattresses, box springs, headboards and bed frames to find live insects, eggs or shed skins.
Examining furniture joints
We inspect upholstered chairs, sofas, nightstands and dresser drawers near the beds for signs of infestation.
Looking at baseboards
The technician checks baseboards near beds and surrounding furniture where bed bugs leave signs of activity.
Explaining what we find
We show you where activity was found and provide a price quote before starting any treatment application.
Our bed bug treatment approach
We use conventional treatments on beds, furniture and baseboards. A follow-up visit is conducted about two weeks later, with more visits if activity remains. We do not offer heat treatment.
Preparing your home for treatment
Proper preparation is essential to effective bed bug treatment. Please complete every task on the written checklist before your technician arrives at your home.
- Wash all bed linens, sheets and pillowcases in hot water and dry on high heat.
- Place cleaned bedding and clothing into sealed plastic bags until after service.
- Clear all stored items from under beds and from the bottoms of closets.
- Empty dresser drawers and nightstands in rooms scheduled for treatment.
- Vacuum floors, carpets, rugs, baseboards and upholstered furniture thoroughly.
- Empty the vacuum canister or bag into an outside trash bin immediately.
- Move furniture away from walls to give the technician access to baseboards.
- Do not move unwashed items or furniture into untreated rooms of the house.
What to expect on treatment day
On treatment day, our technician applies conventional products to designated beds, furniture and baseboards based on product label instructions. Occupants, including children and pets, must remain out of the home according to the written reentry instructions provided before the visit.
Some bed bug activity may continue between visits until the follow-up inspection about two weeks later. Do not transfer furniture or unwashed belongings to untreated areas of your home during this process.
