Questions about bed bugs
Answers to common questions about identification, preparation, treatment, safety and prevention.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Look for live insects, small dark spots, shed skins, eggs and signs around the mattress, box spring and headboard. Bites alone cannot confirm an infestation.
What does a bed bug look like?
An adult bed bug is a small reddish-brown, oval and flattened insect. After feeding, its body may appear fuller and darker.
Where do bed bugs hide?
They commonly hide in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, nearby furniture, cracks, baseboards and other small spaces near resting areas.
Can bed bugs fly or jump?
No. Bed bugs do not fly or jump. They crawl and can be transported on belongings.
Do bites prove that I have bed bugs?
No. Skin reactions vary and can have other causes. Physical evidence or an inspection is needed to confirm bed bugs.
Can a clean home have bed bugs?
Yes. Bed bugs are not a sign of poor cleanliness. They can be introduced on luggage, clothing, furniture or other belongings.
How do bed bugs get into a home?
They can travel on luggage, clothing, used furniture and personal belongings. In multi-unit buildings, they may also move between neighbouring units.
Do bed bugs live only in beds?
No. Beds are common hiding areas because they are close to occupants, but bed bugs can also hide in furniture, cracks, baseboards and nearby objects.
Should I throw away my mattress?
Not necessarily. Avoid discarding or moving furniture before an inspection because this can spread bed bugs. Ask a professional first.
Should I sleep in another room?
Moving to another room without a plan can shift activity elsewhere. Ask for instructions tailored to your situation before changing sleeping areas.
What should I do as soon as I suspect bed bugs?
Avoid moving belongings between rooms, document the signs you observe and request an inspection to confirm the problem and determine its extent.
How do I prepare my home for treatment?
Follow the written instructions for the planned method. Preparation may involve laundry, access to walls and furniture, decluttering and management of personal items.
Do I need to wash all my clothes?
Preparation depends on the affected areas and treatment method. Avoid large-scale preparation without instructions because unnecessary movement can complicate control.
Can I use store-bought products before the technician arrives?
Report anything already applied and avoid combining random treatments. Some applications can disperse insects or make inspection more difficult.
How long does bed bug treatment take?
Treatment time varies with property size, infestation level, method and preparation. The team can explain the expected process after assessment.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of visits depends on the method, infestation, building and follow-up findings. There is no single number that applies to every case.
What happens during a professional bed bug inspection?
The inspection focuses on sleeping areas and likely hiding places to look for insects, eggs, shed skins, spots and other evidence and to define affected areas.
What treatment methods can be used for bed bugs?
A plan may combine different measures based on inspection findings and building conditions. The exact method should be explained before service.
Is treatment safe for children and pets?
Instructions depend on the products and methods used. Tell the team about children, pets or special needs and follow all vacancy and re-entry directions.
Do I have to leave during treatment?
It depends on the method. The technician should tell you whether to leave, for how long and when it is appropriate to return.
When can I re-enter my home?
Follow the re-entry time provided for the treatment performed. Do not return earlier than directed by the professional.
How do I know whether treatment worked?
Follow-up is based on the gradual absence of evidence and, when appropriate, inspections or monitoring devices. Report activity observed after service.
Is it normal to see bed bugs after treatment?
Depending on the method and infestation stage, some residual activity may be observed. Follow the instructions provided and contact the team if signs persist.
Are bed bug eggs difficult to eliminate?
Eggs are small and can be hidden in hard-to-reach places. This is one reason the treatment method and follow-up should match the infestation.
Can bed bugs come back after treatment?
Reintroduction is possible if bed bugs are brought in again or if a neighbouring source remains. Prevention and follow-up help reduce that risk.
How can I avoid bringing bed bugs home from a trip?
Inspect sleeping areas, keep luggage organized and examine belongings when you return. If you find suspicious evidence, avoid spreading items throughout the home.
Can used furniture carry bed bugs?
Yes. Carefully inspect used furniture and upholstered items before bringing them into your home.
What should I do in an apartment or condo?
When appropriate, notify the landlord, property manager or condo association so the situation can be evaluated in the context of the building and neighbouring units.
Can bed bugs move between apartments?
Yes. They can move within a building, so coordination may be necessary when an infestation affects a multi-unit property.
Do you provide service for hotels and businesses?
Residential and commercial properties may be serviced depending on the area. Call the local number to describe the building and confirm availability.
Why hire a bed bug exterminator?
A professional inspection helps confirm the problem, define affected areas and select an appropriate strategy instead of applying random measures.
How do I choose a bed bug exterminator?
Ask how the inspection is performed, what method is proposed, how to prepare, what the re-entry instructions are and what follow-up is planned.
How much does bed bug extermination cost?
Price depends on factors such as property size, building type, infestation extent and treatment method. An assessment provides a more relevant estimate.
Do you offer fast bed bug service?
Availability varies by service area. Use your city’s local number or the contact form to ask about the next available appointment.
Can I send a photo to identify a bed bug?
A clear photo can help with preliminary identification, but it may not replace an inspection, especially if the image is blurry or no complete insect is visible.
How are bed bugs different from other small insects?
Body shape, size, colour and where the insect was found can help with identification. Reliable identification helps avoid treating the wrong pest.
Are bed bugs active only at night?
They are often more active while occupants are resting, but they can be seen at other times, particularly when an infestation is substantial.
Can I treat only the room where I saw a bed bug?
The actual extent of activity should be determined first. An inspection may show that other areas need to be included in the treatment plan.
