Bed bugs are hitchhikers—they travel in luggage, clothing, and furniture:

- Visitors: Guests unknowingly bringing them in bags or clothing
- Multi-unit buildings: Spreading from neighboring apartments
- Public spaces: Movie theaters, public transportation, offices

We'll assess your situation and recommend the best approach for your specific case.
Usually not. We can treat most mattresses effectively:
- Heat treatment kills bed bugs in mattresses without damage
- Chemical treatment can be applied to mattresses safely
- Mattress encasements trap any remaining bugs inside
- Only severely damaged or extremely infested mattresses need disposal
If you do dispose of a mattress: Slash or mark it clearly to prevent someone else from taking it. This prevents spreading bed bugs to others.
We provide detailed preparation instructions, but generally:
- Wash and dry all bedding, clothes, and curtains on high heat
- Remove items from under beds and in closets
- Vacuum thoroughly (seal and dispose of vacuum bag outside)
- Move furniture away from walls (for chemical treatment)
- Remove pets, children, and plants during treatment
Proper preparation is critical for treatment success. We'll give you a complete checklist.
Bed Bug Prevention Tips

Bed bug-proof encasements on mattresses and box springs prevent infestations and make detection easier.
👕 Launder After Travel
Wash and dry all clothing on high heat immediately after returning from trips.
🛋️ Inspect Used Furniture
Thoroughly examine secondhand furniture before bringing it home. Avoid curbside furniture entirely.
