The first signs of a bed bug infestation are often subtle. Be on the lookout for any of the following indicators in and around your sleeping areas:

• Reddish-brown Fecal Spots: These small dots, which look like ink from a pen, can be found on mattresses, upholstery, or walls.   
• Itchy, Red Welts: Waking up with bites, often in a line or cluster on exposed skin like arms and shoulders, is a common sign. However, some people have little to no reaction to bites, so this isn’t always a reliable indicator.   
• Shed Skins and Eggs: You may find tiny (1 mm), whitish eggs or translucent, empty eggshells in dark crevices. You might also spot the molted skins of growing nymphs.   
• A Musty Odor: With more severe infestations, you might notice a distinct sweet, musty smell.   
• Live or Dead Bugs: Spotting an adult bed bug which is oval, flat, and reddish-brown, about the size of an apple seed is a definitive sign. 

According to Health Canada, early detection is key to preventing a small problem from becoming a widespread infestation. Bed bugs multiply quickly, with a single female capable of laying 200-400 eggs in her lifetime, which can hatch in about 10 days. Because they are skilled hitchhikers and can hide in tiny crevices, a few bugs brought in on luggage or used furniture can rapidly lead to a major issue that requires professional intervention

Our process for bed bug removal in Cambridge is designed to be thorough, transparent, and highly effective. We follow a proven, four-step Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach that eliminates bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle, from egg to adult, ensuring a lasting solution for your home.

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the inspection, we develop a tailored bed bug treatment plan. For most infestations, we recommend professional bed bug heat treatment, which raises the temperature of the room to over 49°C (120°F) a level that kills all bed bugs and their eggs in a single application. In some cases, we may supplement this with targeted, low-toxicity residual applications in cracks and crevices for long-term protection.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Guidance & Follow-Up

After the treatment, we provide you with a clear set of instructions to prevent re-infestation. This includes guidance on laundering clothes and monitoring for any new activity. Our bed bug extermination service is guaranteed, giving you complete confidence that the problem is solved for good.

We believe in transparent pricing without surprises. The cost of a professional bed bug treatment in Cambridge depends on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation. Because every situation is unique, we provide a free, no-obligation inspection and a detailed written quote before any work begins.

This allows us to accurately assess your needs and provide you with the most effective and economical solution. While general pest control services can range from $150 to $400, bed bug extermination is a more intensive process requiring specialized equipment. Our inspection ensures you receive a fair, accurate price for complete eradication.

What is the most effective treatment for bedbugs?

The most consistently effective treatment for eliminating a bed bug infestation is professional heat treatment. This method raises the ambient temperature of a room to between 49°C and 60°C (120°F to 140°F). As confirmed by multiple pest control studies and public health guidelines, these temperatures are lethal to all life stages of bed bugs, including the chemical-resistant eggs, typically within 6 to 8 hours. This method penetrates furniture, mattresses, and wall voids, ensuring comprehensive eradication in a single treatment without the extensive use of pesticides.

How do I prepare for bed bug treatment?

Proper preparation is crucial for a successful bed bug treatment. We will provide you with a detailed checklist, but key steps include the following:

• Reduce Clutter: Clear away any clutter from floors and surfaces to eliminate potential hiding spots for bed bugs.   
• Launder All Fabrics: Wash all bedding, curtains, and clothing in hot water, then dry them on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes to kill both bugs and their eggs.   
• Bag and Seal Items: Place all clean, laundered items into new, sealed plastic bags and store them away from the treatment area until the process is complete.   
• Vacuum Thoroughly: Vacuum carpets, rugs, mattresses, and furniture, paying close attention to seams and crevices. Immediately dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag and place it outside.   
• Provide Full Access: Move all furniture at least one foot away from the walls to ensure our technicians can access all baseboards and potential harborage areas.   

Following these steps ensures that our treatment can reach every potential hiding place for the most effective results. Our technician will provide a complete, room-by-room checklist tailored to your home during the initial inspection.
