Removing bedbugs
The recent resurgence of bed bugs has certainly kept pest control professionals busy, with 20 percent of U.S. pros responding to a recent NPMA/University of Kentucky survey reporting that they’d performed over 100 bed bug services in the past year. What’s more, 76 percent of the pest control professionals surveyed believe bedbugs are the most difficult pest to treat?a big hint that you shouldn’t try to tackle the job yourself.

Over-the-the counter bedbug treatments exist, but they’re not always effective (bedbugs have built up resistance to some), and misuse of these and other chemicals can introduce other health threats. That’s why at the first sign of a bed bug infestation it’s best to contact your local pest control service. They’ll begin by confirming the presence and extent of the bedbug infestation, sometimes with the help of well-trained bed bug dogs and determine the best treatment according to the scale of the infestation and geographic location of your home.

“There are different strains of bedbugs,” advises Henriksen. “So with some bedbugs, eradicating them with a certain product can be very effective, while in a different state, that same product won’t work. That’s one of the reasons it’s so important to work with professionals in removing bedbugs.”

Professional bedbug remedies include specific selected pesticides as well as heat, freezing and vacuum treatments. A few weeks after the eradication is performed, the pest control pro will return to examine the infestation site to ensure that bedbugs are truly gone and haven’t left unhatched eggs behind. And the cost? Once again, it all depends on the size and type of infestation. Treatment price tags range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand, but the investment has to be made to keep bed bugs from living off of your family and traveling with you to other locations.
