PROFESSIONAL BED BUG CONTROL IN LEHIGH ACRES

Why are bed bug problems so persistent?

Bed bugs have been around for many centuries and, during that time, they’ve adapted well to the human environment across multiple conditions and temperatures. Although a persistent myth says that keeping your house clean will prevent them from getting in your home, it isn’t true. Cleanliness isn’t a factor in what attracts them.

Plus, they’re difficult to spot and, as hardy creatures, difficult to eliminate, DIY. Over time, they’d become resistant to the effective treatments of the day, too, which means that professional treatments had to evolve. Fortunately, our bed bug exterminator in Lehigh Acres, FL offers two highly effective choices: heat treatments and chemical treatments. For more information and guidance about which would be best for you, simply reach out to Turner Pest Control’s experts in bed bug pest control in Lehigh Acres.

How can I prevent bed bug infestations in my home?

Good question! Consider how these critters get into your home, and block those methods. For example, they get inside on furniture or luggage or soft goods like clothing, so you can carefully inspect these items before bringing them into your house. When traveling, place a plastic trash bag or other protective covering on your suitcases, and don’t put them on hotel beds. Inspect the bedding in the hotel for tiny stains, including on the box springs and mattresses. Whether you see pepper-like spots or not, inspect your belongings when you get home, washing towels, linens, and clothing in hot water before putting them away.

How effective are high-heat bed bug treatments?

Thermal Remediation® is a highly effective treatment, reaching hiding spots that can otherwise be hard to treat. With our bed bug pest control in Lehigh Acres, heat treatments kill these insects across life stages without the use of insecticides.

How effective is pest control for bed bugs?

Modern bed bug pest control in Lehigh Acres provided by Turner’s is highly effective. You may, however, have heard about this critter’s resistance to pest control—and here’s why. As noted by the National Pesticide Information Center, bed bugs have thrived around the world for quite a long time. In fact, bed bugs have even been found in Egyptian tombs that are thousands of years old. They have also been quite prevalent with one in every three homes in London in the 1930s having a bed bug infestation.

For a few short decades (from 1939-1972), it looked like bed bugs would be overcome for good through a man-made chemical called DDT that was designed to kill bugs in soldier housing during World II. It was extremely effective. However, many of the insects developed resistance to these bed bug treatments, and it was also discovered that DDT was harmful to the environment. 

So, it was back to the drawing board. Fortunately, highly effective bed bug treatments have since been developed. At Turner, we offer a choice between two approaches:

• Chemical treatments: Our exterminator in Lehigh Acres, FL will apply the best insecticide dust available today and make two followup visits to take care of your infestation.
• Thermal Remediation® treatments: With this form of bed bug pest control in Lehigh Acres, heat is used to destroy these insects without the use of insecticide, and it only takes one treatment.

To tackle your infestation, reach out to Turner. Our bed bug exterminator will examine your home for a pest presence and provide a no-obligation quote for the best bed bug treatments for your situation.

Is one bed bug treatment enough?

Well, it depends! Turner offers two types of highly effective bed bug pest control in Lehigh Acres. With one of them, one treatment is all it takes while, with the other, the treatment plan consists of three visits. Both approaches start with a thorough inspection of your home and an analysis of your infestation. Then, our expert technician will share results with you along with a no-obligation quote for the recommended treatment plan.

With the chemical treatments, we’ll use the most modern insecticide dust and residual contact treatments. This involves our bed bug exterminator in Lehigh Acres, FL applying a treatment and then scheduling two follow-up visits.

When you want just one highly effective bed bug treatment, Thermal Remediation® is the direction to take. This approach uses high heat to kill these unwanted pests at each stage of their life cycle as it penetrates into even tiny cracks and crevices. Because there isn’t chemical fumigation involved, there are no residual toxins left behind. This means that you, your family, and your pets can come back into the house as soon as the bed bug treatment is finished.

How can you tell if you have bed bugs?

Bed bugs can be hard to spot because of their small size and their ability to hide so well in your home’s cracks and crevices in baseboards, furniture joints, bed frames; under mattresses; and more. So, you may not be aware of their presence in your home. If you spot flat, oval, reddish-brown bugs that are about the size of an apple seed or Lincoln’s head on a penny, there’s a good chance that you have a bed bug infestation. If you see a bug that sounds like this description but it looks bloated, it’s likely that the bug has recently fed on blood.

Many times, homeowners see signs of bed bugs rather than the insects themselves. These can include finding tiny bites on the skin of your arms, legs, and backs after it’s exposed to bed linens or mattress. You may find brown or red drops of dried blood on your sheets from these bites. Sometimes, people notice a musty odor first, which bed bugs emit.

If you suspect or know that you have an infestation, just connect with our bed bug exterminator in Lehigh Acres, FL for a thorough home inspection. We will confirm their presence and identity, providing you with a free, no-obligation quote for customized bed bug pest control in Lehigh Acres. You can also call us at (239) 758-0397.
