In short
Confirming bed bugs, then treating beds, furniture and rooms with heat, targeted products or both, followed by inspection.
How to tell it is bed bugs
- Small reddish-brown bugs in mattress seams and box springs
- Tiny dark spots (droppings) on sheets and mattress tags
- Shed skins near the bed
- Bites in lines or clusters, often on arms and shoulders
Treatment options
Heat treatment raises room temperatures high enough to kill bed bugs and eggs in one visit. Targeted treatments use products in seams, cracks and furniture, usually over two or more visits. Many jobs combine both.
Preparing for treatment
- Wash bedding and clothes on hot and dry on high heat.
- Bag laundered items until treatment is done.
- Declutter around beds and couches.
- Do not move furniture to other rooms; that spreads them.
Questions

Store products rarely reach every hiding spot. Professional treatment is usually needed.
