Bed Bug Control Services
At Hawkeye Pest Control, we have a variety of methods to eliminate bed bugs from infested areas. We start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the infestation and locate hiding spots. Treatment options include chemical treatments, heat treatments, steam treatments, and freezing methods, chosen based on factors like infestation severity and property type.
Bed bugs can be quite elusive, but there are several signs you can look for to determine if you have an infestation:
Visible Bugs:
Adult bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. If you see them, particularly in the seams of mattresses or upholstery, you likely have an infestation.
Bite Marks:
Bed bug bites often appear as red, itchy welts on the skin. They may be clustered together in a small area or appear in a line.
Blood Stains on Sheets:
After feeding, bed bugs may leave behind small blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases.
Dark Spots or Smears:
Bed bugs leave behind fecal matter that appears as small dark spots or smears on bedding, mattresses, or nearby furniture.
Eggshells and Shed Skins:
Bed bugs molt as they grow, leaving behind shed skins and translucent eggshells.
Hiding Places:
Bed bugs typically hide in cracks and crevices during the day, including mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, and furniture joints.
If you suspect you have a bed bug infestation, it's essential to take action promptly to prevent it from worsening. Contact Hawkeye Pest Control to help you develop an effective strategy for bed bug removal and prevention.
