Why Bed Bug Control Matters?

Ignoring a single bed bug can lead to a widespread nightmare in weeks. We understand that these parasitic pests affect your mental well-being and sleep quality.

  • Health & Sleep Impact: While not known disease carriers, bed bugs cause severe allergic reactions, itchy welts, and significant anxiety or insomnia due to their nocturnal feeding habits.
  • Rapid Reproduction: A single female can lay hundreds of eggs. Without professional intervention, populations explode exponentially, allowing them to hitchhike on clothing and spread to other rooms or units.
  • Resistance to Chemicals: Modern bed bugs have developed high resistance to store-bought sprays. DIY methods often fail to kill the hidden eggs, leading to a cycle of re-infestation that requires professional thermal or chemical remediation.
What’s Included:
1. Inspection & Detection

Protecta’s licensed specialists perform a meticulous visual inspection of mattresses, box springs, furniture, and baseboards to confirm the presence of live bugs, shed skins, or
fecal spotting.

2. Treatment Plan & Strategy

We develop a customized eradication strategy based on the infestation level. We select the most effective method—whether Heat Treatment (Thermal Remediation) or targeted chemical applications—to ensure total elimination.

3. Safe Application of Control Methods

We utilize EPA-approved products and Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) that stop reproduction. Our treatments penetrate deep into wall voids and furniture seams where bed bugs hide, ensuring no egg is left behind.

4. Prevention & Encasement

To protect your sleeping area, we recommend and install mattress and box spring encasements. These trap any remaining pests inside and prevent new ones from establishing harborages in your bedding.

Treatment Methods We Use

  • Thermal Remediation: Using specialized equipment to raise room temperature, killing all life stages (eggs to adults) in one visit.
  • Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): Chemical treatments that sterilize adult bugs and prevent nymphs from maturing.
  • Steam Treatment: High-pressure steam applications to instantly kill bugs in upholstered furniture and carpets.
  • Desiccant Dusts: Long-lasting silica dust applied behind electrical outlets and baseboards to dehydrate hiding pests.
  • Mattress Encasements: Medical-grade covers that lock bugs out of your bed and protect your investment.

FAQ

If you’re finding bites, blood spots on sheets, or bugs along seams and furniture edges, you may need professional treatment. DIY methods rarely eliminate all life stages. Professional bed bug control ensures the infestation is stopped fully and prevented from spreading again.

In most cases, no. Protecta can save your furniture using steam treatments, heat, and mattress encasements. We only recommend disposal if the item is structurally compromised or the infestation is extremely severe.

Preparation is vital for success. We will provide a checklist that includes decluttering floors, washing bedding in high heat, and moving furniture away from walls to give our technicians access to all hiding spots.
Thermal Remediation (Heat) is often faster, killing all life stages in one day, and is chemical-free. Chemical treatments are effective but may require multiple visits to catch hatching eggs. We recommend the best option for your specific budget and situation.
Bed bugs are not a sign of poor hygiene; they are hitchhikers. They enter homes on luggage after travel, second-hand furniture, or clothing. Anyone can get an infestation regardless of cleanliness.
Yes, when applied by trained professionals, the treatments are safe for pets. We use approved products and follow strict safety guidelines during application. Our licensed technicians are experienced in handling all levels of residential infestations, ensuring complete safety for families and pets.
While immediate relief is common, complete elimination usually takes 2–4 weeks depending on the infestation size. Our comprehensive bed bug control strategy targets the breeding cycle to ensure full removal as quickly and safely as possible.

Yes, in fact, we often encourage it. You act as the “bait” to draw the bugs out across the treated barrier, which kills them. However, we will install encasements to ensure your mattress is protected.
