The best way to get rid of bed bugs in your home or business is by enlisting the help of a pest control professional. Contact us today for expert help.
At home, there are a few actions you can take such as washing infested items at a high temperature and vacuuming regularly to get rid of bed bugs naturally. This will help to control the problem but will not be able to remove it completely.
For this reason, businesses at greatest risk, like hotels, should not attempt to get rid of bed bugs without expert help.

The first step to solving any pest problem is to know what pest you are dealing with.
In this case, you need to be sure you have bed bugs and not another biting insect such as mosquitoes or fleas. Pest control services and solutions vary depending on the species infesting your home or business.
Bed bugs are nocturnal, only coming out at night to feed, which makes them difficult to spot. During the day they tend to hide in cracks and crevices near their prefered feeding area (usually a bed).
If you can identify the common signs of bed bugs, it will help to confirm if there is an infestation present in your home or business.
Correct identification of a bed bug or bed bug bite will help you to choose the most effective pest control solution, saving you both time and money.
DIY or professional?
When it comes to getting rid of bed bugs, you should only seek professional help even though there is the option of DIY.
The DIY option, not recommended, requires you to take a proactive approach to managing an infestation. It will take up a lot of time and will need to be carefully monitored to ensure it is successful.
You will need a basic awareness of common bed bug hotspots to make your spot treatments more effective. You will also need to understand how and where they can spread to control the level of infestation.
The professional option requires you to find your local, expert pest controller to get rid of the problem for you.
If you decide to control bed bugs on your own, there are a few steps you can take straight away to try and manage the problem.
How to get rid of bed bugs yourself
Although these steps can help to control the problem, they do not guarantee to remove bed bugs completely. The most effective solution for complete bed bug removal is by an expert pest control professional.
