Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have bed bugs and not some other pest?
Bites alone can't tell you. Look for live bugs, shed skins, tiny eggs, or small dark spots along mattress seams and furniture joints. Our free inspection checks these places so you know whether treatment is actually needed.
How soon can someone come out to my Homestead home?
We respond the same day you contact us. New customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours. Same-day appointments depend on availability and on whether your home is prepped for treatment.
Do you use heat treatment for bed bugs?
No. Our bed bug service is a room-based liquid treatment done in two visits about fourteen days apart. If an infestation is too severe for a liquid program, our inspector may recommend fumigation, which is assessed and quoted separately.
What do I need to do before treatment?
You'll get prep instructions before each visit. They usually include laundering bedding and clothing, decluttering, and clearing access to beds and furniture. Plan for people and pets to stay out of treated rooms until surfaces are dry, typically within two hours. Before treatment, tell us about anyone with medical conditions or sensitivities, and about any infants, pregnant occupants or pets in the home.
Why are two visits needed?
Bed bug eggs can survive the first application. The follow-up visit about fourteen days later treats bugs that hatched after the first visit. Missing the follow-up can make the treatment less effective and can affect your warranty coverage.
