Bed Bugs

If you suspect you have bed bugs, don’t panic. Let us know as soon as possible, so we can treat your home and prevent the further spread of these pests.

Bed bugs are becoming more prevalent across the country and it is important that we work together to keep them out of our communities.

Contrary to popular belief, these troublesome critters don't discriminate between dirty and clean homes, which means even luxury hotels can be susceptible to bed bugs. Bed bugs are mostly active at night when they scurry out from their favourite hiding places to feed on blood — yours as well as your pet’s. These pesky critters often take shelter in the cracks and crevices of bed frames, box springs, dressers, baseboards, sofas, and electrical outlets. Some signs of a bed bug infestation will be dark spots along the seams of your beds and on your beds, as well as rashes or bites on your body. Though they aren't known to transmit disease, the stubborn parasites can leave itchy and unsightly bites. Early detection of bed bugs is much easier and less inconvenient to treat than a widespread infestation.

Here are some tips to help control this stubborn pest: •Check your furniture, baseboards and electrical outlets on a regular basis. •Use a protective cover that encases mattresses and box springs to eliminate hiding spots. •Reduce clutter in your home to reduce hiding places. •Vacuum regularly. •Check second-hand clothing, furniture, beds and couches for any signs of bed bugs before bringing them home. Avoid discarded curbside items. •When travelling, inspect the furniture where you are staying for signs of bed bugs before you unpack. •When you return from a trip, wash all your clothes. If you suspect you have bed bugs, don’t panic. Let us know as soon as possible, so we can treat your home and prevent the further spread of these pests. Working together as a community, we can keep these pesky pests out of our homes, so we can continue to focus on what matters most in life.
