Professional Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pest problems a home or business owner can face. They are small, excellent at hiding, and can spread quickly from room to room if not handled properly.

At Howey Pest Solutions, we provide professional bed bug inspections and customized treatment plans based on the size of the infestation, the layout of the property, and the areas where activity is found.

Signs You May Have Bed Bugs

🛏️ Small bugs found on mattresses, box springs, or bed frames
🩸 Small blood spots on sheets or pillowcases
⚫ Dark spotting on mattress seams or furniture
😣 Unexplained bites or itchy marks after sleeping
🧳 Activity after travel, hotel stays, or used furniture
🛋️ Bugs hiding in couches, recliners, or bedroom furniture

Where Bed Bugs Hide

Bed bugs prefer to hide close to where people rest or sleep, but they can spread to other areas as the infestation grows.

Mattress seams and box springs
Bed frames and headboards
Couches, recliners, and upholstered furniture
Baseboards and wall cracks
Nightstands and bedroom furniture
Curtains, outlets, luggage, and cluttered areas

Every bed bug service starts with an inspection. Our technician will look for live bugs, eggs, spotting, shed skins, and hiding areas to determine the level of activity.

Our Bed Bug Treatment Process

Preparation and aftercare guidance
Monitoring recommendations to confirm activity is declining

Customized Bed Bug Solutions

Bed bug pricing and treatment needs depend on the number of affected rooms, the amount of furniture, the level of infestation, and the difficulty of treatment.

That is why bed bug services require an inspection before final pricing. Our technician will explain what was found, what areas need treatment, and what preparation is required before service.

Bed Bug Preparation

Proper preparation is extremely important for successful bed bug treatment. Before service, customers may be asked to:

Wash and dry bedding, clothing, and linens on high heat
Remove clutter from bedrooms and living areas
Vacuum mattresses, bed frames, floors, and furniture
Avoid moving items from room to room
Bag clean items properly after laundering
Follow technician instructions closely before treatment

What to Expect After Treatment

Some bed bug activity may continue for a short time after treatment as hidden bugs are exposed to treated areas. Multiple treatments may be required depending on the infestation level.

Do not use store-bought sprays before or after professional treatment unless instructed. These products can interfere with professional treatment and may cause bed bugs to spread.

How Bed Bugs Spread

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers. They can be brought into homes and businesses on luggage, clothing, furniture, bedding, backpacks, and personal belongings.

Hotels and travel
Used furniture or mattresses
Apartments and multi-family housing
College dorms and shared housing
Guests or visitors
Work bags, backpacks, and personal items

Wash and dry travel clothing on high heat after trips
Reduce clutter where bed bugs can hide
Call for an inspection as soon as activity is suspected

Bed Bug Control FAQs

Can bed bugs go away on their own?

No. Bed bugs will continue to reproduce until properly treated.

Do bed bugs only live in beds?

No. Bed bugs can hide in furniture, baseboards, wall cracks, outlets, curtains, luggage, and other protected areas.

Do I need an inspection first?

Yes. Bed bug treatments require an inspection so we can determine the infestation level, affected rooms, and proper treatment plan.

How many treatments are needed?

Multiple treatments may be required depending on the severity of the infestation and preparation completed before service.

Should I throw away my mattress?

Not always. In many cases, mattresses can be treated or protected with encasements. Our technician will make recommendations during inspection.

Should I use store-bought sprays?

No. Store-bought sprays can make the problem worse by spreading bed bugs into new areas and interfering with professional treatment.

Do you treat apartments and businesses?

Yes. We provide bed bug inspections and treatments for homes, apartments, rentals, offices, and other commercial properties.
