Bed Bugs

Bed Bug Treatment Service

Welcome to D & D Pest Control Co., your trusted source for effective and affordable bed bug treatment in the Greenville and Winterville areas of North Carolina. Discovering a bed bug infestation early is crucial to prevent its spread to other homes, including those of your guests and loved ones. It’s essential to act promptly, as delaying treatment can lead to a more extensive and costly infestation throughout your home.

 

Identifying Bed Bug Infestations:

Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to detect, especially in the early stages. Unlike other pests such as fleas or cockroaches, bed bugs are adept at staying hidden, making early detection a challenge for homeowners. Ignoring or misidentifying an infestation increases the risk of it spreading to other areas of your home or even neighboring properties.

Signs of an Infestation:

  • Small, dark droppings on bedding and mattresses, visible with a magnifying glass.
  • Pale yellow eggs, shed skins, and a distinct sweet, musty odor.
  • Bed bug bites: small, red welts in a line or cluster on exposed skin, often itchy and potentially causing allergic reactions.

Bed Bug Facts:

  • Female bed bugs can lay about 3 eggs daily, totaling 200-500 in a lifetime.
  • They can live 4-5 weeks in favorable conditions, and up to 6-12 months in ideal environments.
  • Bed bugs typically stay close to their feeding spots and feed on human blood.
  • They are nocturnal and mainly active at night.

Professional Treatment Options:

Due to their elusive nature, bed bugs are challenging to eliminate without professional help. D & D Pest Control offers specialized treatments to ensure complete eradication:

  • Chemical Treatment: A cost-effective solution involving the application of insecticides in potential hiding spots like furniture, bed frames, and electrical outlets. This treatment requires skilled technicians for effective implementation.
  • Heat Treatment: An effective method that involves heating your home to temperatures above 113 degrees Fahrenheit, a level lethal to bed bugs. This method is safe for your home and typically comes with a 30-day guarantee.

At D & D Pest Control, we understand the importance of a prompt and effective response to bed bug infestations. Trust us to provide the expertise and solutions needed to protect your home and peace of mind.
