Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have bed bugs and not some other pest?
Bites alone can't confirm bed bugs, because other pests and skin reactions look similar. Check mattress seams, bed frames and couch joints for live bugs, shed skins or small dark spots. Our free inspection looks for this physical evidence before we recommend treatment.
How soon can someone come out to my Sanibel home?
We respond the same day you contact us. New customers are typically scheduled within 24 hours. A same-day appointment depends on availability and on whether the rooms can be prepared in time.
Is one treatment visit enough to get rid of bed bugs?
No. Our bed bug service includes two liquid treatment visits about fourteen days apart, unless your written scope lists more. The follow-up visit targets bugs that hatch after the first treatment, so a single visit isn't a complete treatment.
Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?
Liquid products are applied according to label instructions. Everyone, including pets, should stay out of treated rooms until surfaces are dry, typically within two hours. Tell us beforehand about pets, infants, pregnant household members or medical sensitivities so the plan accounts for them.
Should I try store-bought sprays or foggers first?
We recommend against it. Foggers and over-the-counter sprays can scatter bed bugs into new rooms and make the problem harder to control. If you're already under treatment with us, talk to us before using any other product between visits.
