Bed Bug Treatment | Clark Pest Control

Youve got bed bugs? Weve got answers.

According to the news, bed bugs are everywhere.

Click onto a news website, watch the news on TV or pick up a newspaper, and youre likely to see or hear a message delivered in tones that are fraught with fear: Bed bugs are back! Theyre everywhere! What can we do?

The funny thing is, for several decades when parents would put the kids to bed, they would say things like Sleep tight, and dont let the bed bugs bite. Aside from entomologists and pest professionals, very few people knew what bed bugs were, or if they even existed. Today, we all know. These appleseed-sized, blood-sucking insects have come roaring back, and people are worried frightened, even.

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) largely disappeared from developed parts of the world in the 1940s, mostly because pesticides knocked them out. Since then, two things happened: Bed bugs, over time, acquired a resistance to pesticides, and international travel made it possible for bed bugs to hitchhike from parts of the world where they had not been eradicated to here in America.

Bed Bugs are excellent hitchhikers, too. Not only can they travel around the world, but theyre very good at moving from place to place from a hotel room to your bedroom, or from that used piece of furniture you picked up at a garage sale to the rest of your house. Once bed bugs get inside your home, they begin multiplying; one female bed bug will lay one to five eggs a day, or an average of 120 eggs in its life. Upon hatching, those juvenile bugs, or nymphs, will reach adulthood in three weeks, seeking out blood meals from you and your family, while youre sleeping, by zeroing in on the carbon dioxide you exhale and laying eggs, lots of them. Even without doing the math, its easy to see how this can turn into a big problem in short order.

Clark technicians will bring industrial powered heaters that will raise the temperature, room by room, enough to kill bed bugs and their eggs. Before we bring the heat, well make sure that everything that needs to be exposed to heat is opened up or positioned properly so that treatment will be most effective, turning a room upside down to ensure the heat goes where it needs to go.

Our technicians will take great pains to treat every surface, cranny, crack and crevice with bed bug-destroying steam, making sure that no bed, piece of furniture or other object in a targeted room is left untreated.
