Bed Bug Treatment in Salem, OR

Bed bug bites usually appear in lines or clusters on skin exposed while sleeping, and you may find rusty spots on sheets, shed skins, or the flat, reddish-brown insects along mattress seams. Fleas bite around the ankles and jump. If you are unsure, we can identify a sample.

No. Bed bugs travel in luggage, used furniture, backpacks and coats, and they turn up in clean homes and hotels as easily as anywhere else. Clutter gives them more places to hide and makes treatment harder, but it does not cause an infestation.

Treatment combines a thorough inspection, targeted application of products labeled for bed bugs to seams, frames and cracks, and follow-up visits timed to catch newly hatched nymphs. Mattress encasements and laundering at high heat are part of the plan. Most homes need two or three visits.

We send a preparation checklist: strip and bag bedding, launder and dry clothing on high heat, empty nightstands, and pull furniture a little way from the walls. Do not move items to other rooms or throw out the mattress before we inspect, because both spread the problem.
