In its earliest stages, a bed bug infestation is quite hard to detect. This means that by the time a bed bug problem is very apparent, it usually indicates a very large infestation. A thorough inspection by a pest control expert can quickly uncover whether or not you have bed bugs and how widespread the problem is.

Completely resolving a bed bug problem can only realistically be achieved by enlisting the help of pest control professionals, as treating bed bugs is a complex process and if not done thoroughly may lead to an infestation returning.

Hiring a professional pest control company can resolve pest-related issues effectively and safely, but there are still some potential health risks associated with their services.

They now make trash bags pre-scented with mint or other scents known to repel co*ckroaches, mice, and other common trash invaders. These bags may prove effective because peppermint, winter mint, and spearmint are among the strongest odors to deter various bugs and rodents.

Use a bulb duster or squeeze bottle with boric acid, diatomaceous earth or silica gel. Squeeze dust into cracks and holes, and underneath and behind large appliances and cabinets – wherever roaches are active. Apply a thin layer.

Bed bugs can hide in various areas of the body, including the hairline, scalp, ears, underarms, groin area, areas behind the knees, and between fingers and toes. Bed bug bites in these areas can cause small, red, itchy bumps, swelling, and red welts.

The adults can easily be seen with the naked eye. Adult bed bugs are reddish brown in color, wingless, and are about the size of an apple seed. Immature bed bugs (there are 5 immature or nymphal instar stages) can also be seen with the naked eye but they are smaller than adults, and translucent whitish-yellow in color.

The answer is a bit complicated, but the short answer is that yes, technically you can have bed bugs in your house again after receiving treatment. However, the bed bug control treatment performed by our Clegg's Pest Control team does eradicate all of the bed bugs currently in your home.

What kills bed bugs permanently? ›

Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides that act like pyrethrins. Both compounds are lethal to bed bugs and can flush bed bugs out of their hiding places and kill them.

If you have a bed bug problem, you're probably wondering how to clean every inch of your home. Although bed bugs certainly prefer living in mattresses, they can infest carpet, too! Instead of burrowing into the carpet, the bugs will stay close to the surface. This makes it easier to vacuum them up!

Bedbugs feed off human or animal blood. They're often found in places like the seams of your mattress or cracks in your bed frame. Bedbugs aren't adapted to live in your hair, but it's possible a bedbug could end up in your hair after biting your scalp. Finding bugs in your hair is much more likely a sign of head lice.

The typical time most harsher pesticide treatments need for a safe return is between 2 and 4 hours. After that time, an additional 30 minutes is recommended to let the building breathe. This should be done with windows open and fans running to allow air levels inside to return to normal.

Chemical pest control is often considered the most effective method of pest control, as it can quickly and effectively remove or discourage pests from an area.

As is often the case, there are simply more bugs hiding inside the home than foraging out in the open. When a pest control service is completed, it's not attracting more bugs but rather driving the ones that are hiding out into the open to escape the product applied.

Get rid of things like stacks of newspapers, magazines, or cardboard. Close off places where pests can enter and hide. For example, caulk cracks and crevices around cabinets or baseboards. Use steel wool to fill spaces around pipes.

Boric acid

As dust, it is spread over the house and puffed into co*ckroach hiding places. Roaches crawl over these surfaces and get powdered. They'll eat it while preening. As long as it stays dry, boric acid kills roaches indefinitely.

Dusts – A few insecticides used for co*ckroach control are applied as dusts or powders. Most familiar to householders are boric acid and diatomaceous earth. For controlling co*ckroaches, boric acid tends to be more effective. Roaches succumb to boric acid after crawling over treated surfaces.

Diatomaceous earth is a natural insecticide made of powered fossilized algae, or diatoms. Diatomaceous earth quickly and suddenly dehydrates roaches so they die. Simply sprinkle it where you notice roach activity, then clean the area the next day.
