Bed bugs have made a recent comeback in the United States. While they are mainly active at night you may occasionally see them during the day. During the daytime they hide close to where people sleep generally in the mattress, box spring , headboard and night stand. They will often be found in the mattress seam and the plastic box spring corner guards. They are sometimes found in picture frames, under carpets and in drop ceilings. Generally they stay close to the bed or couch unless dispersed with sprays or Bug Bombs. They dont have nests, but will spread out near their feeding area. Eventually they spread to adjacent rooms or apartments. They can spread quickly throughout a building by crawling and hitching a ride on people. We are experts in controlling infestations of bed bugs.
The first step is for a proper inspection of all rooms in the house or apartment. Ransford will provide a free estimate in our service areas. If Bed Bugs are found our technician will quote the cost and leave a prep sheet. If visual inspection fails to find Bedbugs Ransford recommends the FMC Bedbug Verify trap. These traps provide monitoring for 90 days using 2 different lures. Please call for pricing info. On treatment day you will need to leave for approximately 4 hrs. Our team will come in and thoroughly apply material to all areas in the rooms. This includes removing outlet switch plates and installing dust into the wall voids. We will treat and cover any box springs and mattresses with cloth Bedbug covers. We schedule a follow up visit in 30 days and stand behind our work for a full 90 days (if you find live bedbugs after second treatment we will retreat for free).
Thinking of heat treatment for Bed bugs? Make sure you ask the company if they are using chemicals pre and post treat (most companies do!). Lets face it, the reason most people think about heat treatment is for chemical free Bed bug control. Since Bed bugs are very good at finding cool spots, there are companies that use chemicals before and after the heat treatment to control them. So if this is the case, why spend all the extra money on heat treatment?
We all agree that there are certain places were a chemical treatment should be used as a last resort. Places like cribs, infant carriers, strollers, car seats and wheelchairs to name just a few. By using high temp, low moisture steam we can kill Bed bugs instantly, and sanitize their fecal matter at the same time. Since there is no residual chemical, cribs would need Bed bug interceptors placed under the legs to keep them pest free. Please give us a call and ask us how Steam Spot Treatments alongside a conventional treatment can help control your Bed bug problem.
By now we all know that there are different strands of Bed bugs just in the USA. Each strand can have a different response to a particular product (resistant). By using multiple products during the 2 separate treatments, Ransford Environmental Solutions Inc. can help combat Bed bug resistance.
The most important step is to catch Bed bugs EARLY!!!!! Do not ignore them! Early treatment will keep a few, from becoming an INFESTATION. If you think you have bed bugs, contact us. Send us a picture or bring a sample to our office. We offer pest identification free of charge.
