The word in the seminars is that these bugs are hard to kill, take a long time to get control, and you can never be sure you got them all. We take a different approach to killing them, and usually get control on the first visit, and get elimination on the second or third visit. If your bug guy is having difficulty killing them, call us. We'll make you happy. If you need to know how we do that, look through the photos below, and at the bottom we discuss how we treat. Meanwhile, Please, Please, Please, do not spray,fog or "bomb".
They tend to bunch up in the cracks.
The "ink" stains are their offal, and the small white lumps are bedbugs covered with an insecticide dust.
The little white things in the knot are eggs, and yes, you can see them without a microscope. We treat in a two-phase system, in which we aggressively attack the accessible bed bugs, killing them with a non-residual material which is labeled for use on beds and bedding, as well as most anywhere else.We then treat with a slower, long residual material also labeled for use most anywhere, establishing a defense against invasion, transportation, and bugs which are hiding for a while.This second material takes about four days to kill a bug, so they may be seen while dying, which can lead some to think that the material is not working.It is working, and they will die. We are working on a system that cuts this kill time to two days, but this is still in trials.
