Get rid of those Bed Bugs!

As difficult as it may be to differentiate a bed bug bite from other insect bites, there are clues to confirm the presence of bedbugs in your home. Bed bugs bite, so you will likely see blood smears on the sheet, an itchy welt on the skin and small red bumps that can vary in size and can be clumped together in lines of three. 

If you carry out a meticulous search of your home, you’ll most likely see this tiny creature lurking around any small and dark area within close proximity to your sleeping surface including the bedding, cabinet, carpet, box springs, clothing, baseboard and electrical outlet. Their evidence of existence include the presence of their egg cases, discarded bug shells, shed skin and reddish-brown fecal droppings. Following identification, what your home needs next is an effective bed bug treatment to fix the problem. Give us a call today, and we can provide you with a free quote!

Bed Bug Exterminator Jersey City

There are usually two ways to fix a bed bug problem:
​
#1 - Conducting self-extermination using commercially available products like chemical insecticides, traps, natural product like cedar, and other such products while the second available option is to bring in a pest control service to conduct a professional bedbug removal. If you are conducting self-extermination, we suggest you try a combined attack approach in which you combine vacuuming with chemical treatment, steam cleaning, heat treatment, and bed bug traps among others… until you get the desired result.  But it is not easy. If it were, everyone would handle it themselves. 

Self-Extermination of Bed Bugs

  • Vacuuming the infected areas can be effective in removing bedbugs and eggs from mattresses, carpets, furniture, floors, and walls if you can ensure to discard the vacuum cleaner bag in a sealed plastic bag to prevent a second occurrence.
  • Apply residual insecticide designed for bedbugs, cautiously read the product label and follow the instructions for application. A natural product like cedar has been used against pests for centuries and has worked wonders on bed bugs.
  • Steam cleaning with a high power steam cleaner can also kill bedbugs that bypassed vacuuming with proper attention paid on the seams, holes and box springs. You must also seal any cracks in the walls and floors as bedbugs loves to hide in cracks and baseboards.
  • ​Discard your mattress if the infestation is severe, otherwise continue to turn it over to heat up the both sides, bedbugs die quickly in temperatures exceeding 100F (38C). 
  • Pack all your clothing and sheets to the laundry for a hot water wash, extra dry the clothes running them through a couple of dry cycles to make sure that all the bed bugs are executed. 
  • There are specially designed traps available to capture the bed bugs as they travel from the floor to the bed and another one uses the combination of heat and chemical lures. The use of traps is an excellent way to determine if bed bugs are truly present in an area.

Don't Bring Bed Bugs Home From Vacation!

We know its the last thing you want to thing about when you are on vacation, but please remember to check the beds in your hotel for bed bugs; lift up the sheets (hotels rarely use fitted or contour sheets, so at least that helps) and check the mattress in the corners and look for telltale signs of bed bugs in the cracks of the matress: dark spots, eggs, feces, anything that looks like dirt and that's a red flag.  If you suspect your fancy King Suite room has bed bugs, don't hesitate to call the front desk and tell them.  They will be super quick to get you to a new room, or do anything they need to do to remedy the situation.  Remember: bed bug problems are the LAST thing they need, too.   If you want to know what they really look like, check out our ​bed bug youtube video.
