FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to get a new mattress after bed bugs?

Not necessarily. Our comprehensive steaming and treatment process is designed to effectively eliminate bed bugs and their eggs from your mattress. However, if your mattress is old or the infestation is particularly severe, you might consider replacing it for peace of mind. If you decide to keep your mattress, investing in a bed bug-proof mattress cover can provide an extra layer of protection.

How did I get bed bugs in the first place?

Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers. They can enter homes through luggage, used furniture, or even on clothing. Places with high human traffic, like hotels or public transportation, are common sources.

Are bed bugs a sign of poor hygiene or cleanliness?

No, bed bugs are not attracted to dirt or filth. They are interested in blood, which makes any human environment suitable for feeding them, whether it's clean or not.

How long does the treatment process take?

The duration of the treatment can vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the size of the area being treated. Typically, our primary treatment session lasts a few hours, but this can be discussed in more detail during our initial assessment.

Can I be in my home during treatment?

For safety reasons, we recommend that you and your pets vacate the property and premises during the treatment process. Once our treatment is complete and the products have dried, it's safe to return.

What should I do if I think I have bed bugs but am not sure?

Don’t panic! The first step is always to get a professional inspection. We offer detailed assessments to determine the presence of bed bugs. It's always better to be sure before taking any further steps.

What attracts bed bugs?

Bed bugs are primarily attracted to humans because of the carbon dioxide we exhale, our body heat, and the distinct scent of our blood. Unlike mosquitoes and some pests, they aren’t drawn in by filth or decay. Rather, they prefer environments where they have easy access to feed, which is why they are often found in places where people sleep or rest for extended periods. It's essential to note that bed bugs can infest both cluttered and clean spaces alike, as long as they have access to their human hosts.
