Signs
Itchy bites in lines or clusters, small rusty or dark spots on sheets and mattress seams, shed skins and live bugs in mattress folds, bed frames and headboards.
Confirm it
Other insects and skin conditions can look similar. A professional inspection confirms bed bugs before treatment.
Treatment options
Heat treatments raise room temperatures high enough to kill all stages. Chemical treatments target cracks, seams and furniture. Many plans combine methods with follow-up visits.
Preparing your home
Your pest professional will give instructions, often including laundering bedding and clothes on high heat, reducing clutter and moving furniture from walls.
Don't move things around
Moving to another room or throwing out furniture can spread bed bugs. Wait for advice.
Apartments
Bed bugs move between units. Tell your landlord promptly so neighbouring units can be checked.
Prevention
Check hotel beds when travelling, keep luggage off the floor and inspect used furniture before bringing it home.
Get help
Tell the pest professional what you've found. Send a request and a pest control professional will get in touch.
Used furniture
Check second-hand mattresses, couches and headboards carefully before bringing them inside, especially along seams and joints, and avoid furniture left on the curb.
After treatment
Expect a follow-up inspection to confirm the bed bugs are gone. Keep laundering bedding on hot and watch for new bites or spots for several weeks.
Mattress encasements
Bed bug-proof encasements on mattresses and box springs trap any remaining bugs and make future inspections easier.
Travel tips
When you get home from a trip, unpack in the laundry room or garage and wash clothes on hot right away.
