Cleveland’s Bed Bug Experts
Bed bugs do not discriminate. They infest homes, apartments, hotels, and offices regardless of cleanliness. These hitchhikers travel on luggage, clothing, and furniture, making anyone vulnerable. If you suspect bed bugs, professional treatment is the only reliable solution.
Signs of Bed Bugs
- Bites - Red, itchy welts often in lines or clusters
- Blood spots - Small rust-colored stains on sheets
- Fecal spots - Dark spots on mattress seams or walls
- Eggs - Tiny white eggs in crevices and seams
- Live bugs - Flat, oval, reddish-brown insects (apple seed size)
- Musty odor - Sweet, musty smell in severe infestations
Treatment Options
We offer multiple treatment methods and recommend the right approach based on your situation: the size of the infestation, the type of building, sensitive occupants, and how quickly you need the space back. Every treatment starts with a free inspection so we can match the method to the problem.
Conventional Chemical Treatment
Our primary treatment for most bed bug infestations. Targeted, EPA-registered products are applied to the specific harborage areas where bed bugs live and breed: mattress seams and frames, box springs, headboards, baseboards, wall voids, electrical outlets, and cracks and crevices.
- Effective across the full life cycle when applied correctly
- Works well in single rooms, apartments, and whole-home treatments
- Residual protection continues working after the initial service
- Safe for use in homes with families and pets when label directions are followed
Process: You and your pets will need to leave the home during treatment. Our technician will confirm timing and re-entry instructions when we schedule your service.
Heat Treatment
An option for situations where chemical treatment is not the right fit, for example when you need the room back the same day, when infestations are widespread, or when a customer prefers a non-chemical approach.
- Entire room heated to 130°F or higher for several hours
- Kills all life stages (eggs, nymphs, adults) in a single session
- No chemical residue
- Single-day treatment
Process: You will need to leave the home during heat treatment (typically 6 to 8 hours) and return after cool-down.
