Bed Bug Removal in British Columbia
You wake up with itchy red welts in a line across your arm. You check the mattress seam and find tiny rust-coloured spots. Bed bugs are in your home, and store bought sprays are not going to fix this.
Bed bugs are survival specialists hiding in mattress seams, headboard cracks, baseboards, and electrical outlets. A single pregnant female produces 200 to 500 eggs in her lifetime. DIY treatment almost always fails because eggs survive the first spray and hatch 6 to 9 days later. Modern bed bug populations have developed resistance to pyrethroid-based insecticides. Professional treatments use commercial grade products and methods including heat that bypass this resistance entirely.
