Bedbugs and their Control
Bed bugs (sometimes called "bedbugs;" either form is correct) are small, parasitic insects that feed upon human blood. Once thought to be nonexistent in North America, bed bugs have been coming back with a vengeance in the past few years.
In big, densely-populated cities like Cincinnati and Dayton, bed bugs can spread very quickly. They've been known to travel on public transportation, for example, hitch-hiking on passengers and their clothing and belongings when they travel in taxicabs, commuter trains, buses, and airplanes.
In apartment buildings, condos, hotels, and other multiple dwellings, bedbugs can rapidly infest adjoining rooms or suites by traveling through walls and conduits; so treatment of adjacent areas is usually required for effective bedbug control. This requires close cooperation between tenants and neighbors. (Luckily, our environmentally friendly, "green" approach to bed bug control and our earthy-friendly products make this part of the job a lot easier.)
Bedbug Control
Bed bugs are among the most difficult insects to control. Their small size, secretive habits, and rapid reproduction make them a challenge for even the best exterminators.
A proper bed bug job can take several hours and requires a detailed, meticulous treatment of the affected rooms and their furnishings. Special preparations on the customer's part are required, as well, which will be explained prior to treatment. As with all the work we do, we approach bed bug control with the environment in mind, using only the most earth-friendly products and application methods.
