How We Assess & Treat Active Bed Bug Infestations

Handling a bed bug infestation isn’t as simple as other pests. Even if you know what to look for, common home remedies and over-the-counter fixes are usually ineffective. A Dever pest specialist will come to assess your bed bug problem, eradicate the infestation, and come back to check if the solution was effective.

Since bed bugs are fast breeders, within just six months, a couple of bugs can produce thousands of offspring. Before you know it, you have a full-blown infestation of 12,000 or more. The first step to solving a bed bug infestation is to detect it. It’s crucial to interfere with the bed bug life cycle before they begin spreading throughout your home.

At Dever, we know how to solve bed bug problems where they begin. We know all the typical bed bug hiding places in your home and provide ongoing checks to keep your home pest-free.

Checking your property

here are some telltale signs of bed bugs. However, most of the time, these bugs are rather sneaky and challenging to find. Dever bed bug specialists know how to track these pests throughout your home, checking your bedrooms, rugs, linens, and furniture. A full-on bed bug inspection will analyze these target areas, as well as any cracks, crevices, and other difficult-to-reach areas.


The inspection typically begins in the bedroom, moving on throughout your home. As we work our way through, our expert will pay special attention to your furniture and the areas surrounding it to examine potential bed bug inhabitants.


Initiating a Treatment Plan

If you have bed bugs in your home, Dever will provide a unique treatment plan specialized for the severity of your infestation and your personal preferences. While initiating your treatment plan, we’ll address the root of your bed bug problem without disrupting your family, your pets, or the environment. During your bed bug treatment, we’ll target the bed bugs and their larvae, ensuring these bed bug babies never mature into adults.


Checking for Efficacy

Bed bug treatment alone isn’t enough to completely eradicate a bed bug infestation; you’ll need monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of the solution. After we complete your treatment, we’ll come for a follow-up to check on your home. Your Dever specialist will analyze your home and any bed bug hot spots to determine the best course of action going forward.

Bed Bugs FAQs

Getting to Know Bed Bugs
The name “bed bug” comes from where these bugs are most common: close to beds. Since bed bugs thrive on the blood of warm-blooded creatures, they tend to make their homes near beds.
Bed bugs mature in around 35 days. Once they’ve reached adulthood, they live between seven to 12 months, breeding and creating thousands of offspring over the course of their lives.

Bed Bug Bites
Bed bug bites usually happen while we’re asleep. Since their bite is painless, it’s unlikely for a person to wake up during the feeding. This feeding process usually lasts for around 10 minutes before the bed bug crawls back to safety.

What Attracts Bed Bugs to Humans?
Bed bugs find their sleeping hosts by sensing biological signatures. These include body heat, the carbon dioxide exhaled while breathing, and other characteristics of an asleep host. 
Once the bed bugs finish feeding, they’ll retreat for days or perhaps weeks before needing to feed once more. This is another characteristic of bed bugs that makes it challenging to spot an infestation in its early stages.

Signs of Bed Bugs
While bed bugs can be quite elusive, they leave behind some evidence of their existence. If you think you have bed bugs, you’ll want to keep your eyes open for the following:
Bed bug skins, shells, or exoskeletons from molting
Bloodstains on your pajamas and sheets
Small fecal stains on your bedding or mattress

What do Bed Bug Bites Look Like?
A bed bug bite is comparable to the bites you find from mosquitoes and fleas. The skin reacts to the bites in much the same way. However, it’s possible to distinguish between bed bug bites and the bites from other pests.

A bed bug bite usually shows the following:
  • Straight lines containing multiple bites
  • Burning and itching
  • Raised, red welts
  • A rash across a patch of skin
Where to Find Bed Bugs
While proper bed control is essential for infestations, you can find them on your own if you know where to look. These pests like to live close to their hosts, so it’s safe to say, if you have bed bugs, they’re likely somewhere in the bedroom.

Some common bed bug hiding places include the bedroom, headboards, box springs, and bed framing. However, you might find them living in your furniture and fixtures, especially if they’re close to your bed.

Since bed bugs are looking for an easy meal, they’re willing to live anywhere human hosts remain inactive. If you sit, rest, or sleep in a location, bed bugs could thrive.

Some people get bed bugs after sitting in a movie theater for a few hours. Others find themselves plagued with bed bugs after taking a taxi. Travel is actually one of the ways bed bugs like to spread.

If you think you have bed bugs, it’s best to act immediately. Our bed bug removal solutions will rid you of your plague and make your home safe again.
