Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I actually have bed bugs in my Estero home?
Look for physical evidence: live bugs, dark fecal spots, shed skins or tiny eggs in mattress seams, headboards and couch cushions. Bites alone can't confirm bed bugs, because other insects and skin irritation can look similar. A free inspection is the most reliable way to find out.
How soon can you come out for bed bugs in Estero?
We respond the same day, and new customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours. Same-day appointments depend on availability and on whether your home is prepared. Our office will confirm the timing when you call.
Do you use heat treatment for bed bugs?
No. Our bed bug service is a room-based liquid treatment with two visits about fourteen days apart. If the inspection finds an infestation too severe for a liquid program to reasonably control, we may recommend fumigation, which is assessed and quoted separately.
Can I treat bed bugs myself with sprays or foggers?
Store-bought foggers and sprays often scatter bed bugs into new rooms and wall voids instead of controlling them. They can also make a professional treatment less effective. If you're already on our program, check with us before using any product in treated areas between visits.
What should I tell you before treatment?
Tell us about any medical conditions or sensitivities, and whether you have pets, infants or a pregnant household member. That helps the technician choose and apply products appropriately. You'll also need to stay out of treated rooms until surfaces are dry, which typically takes up to two hours.
