Calling Up A Bed Bug Extermination Company

By Adriana Noton


The first step in bed bug extermination is identifying the presence of the insects in your home. The problem is most people haven't actually seen one in real life as they're small and active just before daybreak. However, they're not at all invisible to the naked eye. They can also be found nesting in many other places in your home other than the bed.

One of the signs that you got an infestation is waking up noticing red and itchy bite marks on your skin. Your blood is what these insects feed on. Your linens are also likely to have small brown fecal spots or sometimes red spots. To prove once and for all that they're in your room, arm yourself with a flashlight and strong magnifying lens. Look for them in tight furniture corners, carpets, drapes, wall cracks, etc.

When you spot them in their usual hiding places, kill them by spraying them with rubbing alcohol or bleach. It's important that you eliminate clutter in your home to leave them with little room to hide in. If you believe that the infestation you got is beyond what DIY steps can take care of, it's important that you call professional exterminators right away.

You can look up for some operating in your town or city in the yellow pages or on the internet. You may also disclose your problem to a relative or friend and ask if he or she can recommend a company. Grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down contact details. Come up with a list containing 2-3 or even more companies. Comparing them with each other allows you to pick one which can deliver the best results.

There are some things to look for in a company. It should have a business permit and an affiliation with a group of professional exterminators. Experience is the best teacher, so check how long the company has been around doing it. You may also ask for some references from previous clients so you may get feedback from them.

Your budget is one of the major role players in the decision-making part. But it's perfectly fine to pay extra to ensure that you get the best results. As soon as you're satisfied with the offer of a particular company, request for inspectors to be sent over your home. Look for proofs that they're from the company all right when they arrive. They must wear official uniforms, use an official vehicle and they must have their IDs.

Accompany the inspectors as they look around for the presence of these pests. Then they must be able to point out the infestation level you got and the best way to get rid of the problem. Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions for your peace of mind. Find out which pesticides they intend to use and what side effects the active ingredients may cause.

Calling right away for professional bed bugs extermination will keep the infestation you have from further blowing up. The company should send inspectors to your home after some weeks to see whether or not a re-infestation is around. It's essential that you also do your part in ensuring that no re-infestation takes place.
