Bed Bugs

Common signs include:

• Small red bites or clusters on the skin
• Blood spots on sheets
• Black specks (fecal marks) on mattresses or frames
• Shed skins or eggs in seams
• Musty odor in severe cases

We use a multi-step treatment approach to ensure every life stage is addressed:

• Steam and heat treatment for mattresses, frames, and fabrics
  • Vacuum extraction to remove live bed bugs and debris
  • Dust treatments into cracks, wall voids, and electrical outlets
  • Targeted liquid applications to baseboards, bed frames, and hiding zones
  • Follow-up treatment to eliminate surviving eggs and emerging nymphs
  • Preventive measures including mattress encasements and sealing cracks

These methods work together to eliminate active bed bugs and prevent re-infestation.

Bed bugs do not spread diseases, but they can cause:

• Itchy bites or skin reactions
• Secondary infections from scratching
• Allergic responses
• Anxiety, stress, and sleep disruption

Their presence often leads to emotional and physical discomfort.

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and spread through:

• Luggage and travel
  • Used furniture
  • Shared laundry spaces
  • Hallways and walls in apartment buildings
  • Guests or visitors

High-density cities like New Westminster, Burnaby, and Surrey see higher spread rates.

We recommend:

• Using mattress and box-spring encasements
• Avoiding used furniture unless inspected
• Reducing clutter
• Inspecting luggage after travel
• Sealing cracks and baseboard gaps
• Regular monitoring after treatment

Prevention is especially important in multi-unit residential buildings.

They do not damage structures, but infested furniture and bedding may need disposal if heavily affected.
