How Can Pest Control Professionals Eliminate Bed Bugs?

Removing Bed Bugs

The simplest and most effective solution to get rid of a bed bug infestation is to call a professional pest removal company. A professional pest removal company will develop an individualized solution for protecting your home and family from bed bugs. Here is a brief look at some of the techniques and tools they will use:

  • Insecticide sprays. These sprays are used to treat the hard to reach cracks and crevices where bed bugs may be harboring, including baseboards, crown molding, in closets, and along window and door frames. 
  • Aerosol formulations. These will be applied to your furniture, including the wooden frame of box springs. Most aerosol formulations can be safely applied to upholstered furniture. Other areas that they will be used to treat include carpet tack strips, chipped paint, and nail holes. Aerosol formulations offer the advantage of being able to kill bed bug eggs, which insecticide sprays cannot. 
  • Insecticidal dust. This non-toxic dust is applied to the walls of your home and the electrical outlets. When a bed bug walks over dusted surfaces, it becomes covered in the dust, which leads to its death. It is considered the most effective method today of killing bed bugs; however, it cannot be used in areas where the dust might be picked up by an air current. 
  • Desiccant dusts. This type of dust kills bed bugs by absorbing the outer waxy layer that covers their bodies. The bed bugs become dehydrated and usually die within 48 hours. Most desiccant dusts can be safely used around children and pets and can be applied in multiple locations where other treatment methods cannot, like your mattress, furniture, carpet, and bedding.
