WEST PALM BEACH BED BUG TREATMENTS ALLOW YOU TO REST EASY
These nasty critters can get into your home all too easily, hiding all too well once they get inside. Then, unfortunately, they’re really hard to get rid of, DIY.
If you find yourself in this situation, don’t let the bed bug infestation get any larger or more entrenched. Instead, contact experienced bed bug exterminators for a professional solution. At Turner Pest Control, our comprehensive program starts with a complete inspection and a personalized recommendation for professional bed bug control services. Trained technicians take care of the problem for you, providing follow-up inspections until the bed bugs are gone.
Ways That Bed Bugs Arrive
If people come to visit you, these pests can hitch a ride on their luggage, shoes, or clothing. Or, if you return from a trip, you could also be bringing bed bugs back to your house, so inspect your luggage carefully. Before you put any towels, linens, or clothing back into a closet or chest of drawers, wash them in hot water to get rid of any bed bugs or their eggs. Include pet bedding and clothing in this task.
Or, do you enjoy thrift shopping and browsing at rummage sales? Secondhand goods like furniture, clothing, mattresses, and more can host unwanted bed bugs.
Bed Bug Signs
Bed bugs are such excellent hiders that you may not know they’re in your home. So, you may see signs of their presence rather than the insects themselves. These include tiny bites on your skin from your mattress or bed linens, which are most common on arms, legs, and backs. You may see dried blood drops from the bites on your sheets, too, which are either brown or red. Musty smell you can’t identify? Bed bugs have an odd odor.
If you actually do see the critters, they may be huddled in cracks and crevices in your home, including in your furniture joints, bed frames, or baseboards. Or they may be located on the underside of your mattress. About the size of an apple seed, they’re flat and oval shaped in a reddish brown hue. If they’re just fed, they’ll likely be bloated.
DIY Treatment Challenges
- Places they hide can be difficult to treat.
- Their tiny size can mean it’s hard to know if treatments are being successful.
- Bed bug infestations typically include this pest in a range of life stages; what might address the problem at one stage doesn’t always work in another.
Alarmingly enough, some DIY treatments can even boost the size of the bed bug infestation in your West Palm Beach home. Plus, some can create health risks for you and your family. According to the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, the following can be hazardous: using off-label pesticides or foggers, employing heat as a DIY method, or creating your own treatment mixture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Don’t see your question answered? Get in touch today!
Why are bed bug problems so persistent?
Over the centuries, bed bugs have adapted to human environments in a wide range of conditions and temperatures. They’re hardy and elusive creatures that are always on the move, difficult to spot and eliminate. A home’s cleanliness isn’t a factor when it comes to attracting these tiny pests, and a clean home won’t prevent them from settling in.
Do bed bugs carry any diseases?
Here’s one piece of good news about this troublesome pest: no, they aren’t known to transmit any diseases.
How can I prevent bed bug infestations in my home?
Bed bugs can reproduce rapidly so, to prevent an infestation, you’ll want to do your best not to have even a couple of them get inside your house. So, first consider how bed bugs find their way inside—on furniture or luggage or soft goods like clothing—and thoroughly inspect items like that before bringing them inside. If you’ll be traveling, put a protective covering on your luggage, such as a plastic trash bag, while in the hotel. Inspect the hotel bedding, including box springs, mattresses, and bedding, for tiny stains. Even if you don’t see these pepper-like spots, don’t put your suitcases on the bed. When you return home, inspect belongings before taking them inside, washing soft goods like towels, linens, and clothing in hot water before putting them away.
Are bed bugs becoming more common in West Palm Beach?
This pest is definitely becoming more prevalent. According to the National Pest Management Association, bed bug infestations rose by 81 percent from 2000 to 2011. Bed bug control professionals have also reported a resurgence of this pest since the 1990s. Although we can’t say definitively why this is happening, increased national and worldwide travel is believed to contribute to this situation.
How effective are high-heat bed bug treatments?
Heat treatments, also known as thermal remediation, are highly effective treatment approaches, reaching the insects in difficult to reach hiding spots. Provided by professional bed bug exterminators, this treatment kills these pests at every life stage in environmentally friendly ways: meaning, no insecticides. When you’re seeking bed bug treatment in West Palm Beach, know that Turner Pest Control offers this solution.
