Conventional Bed Bug Treatments

Application of an EPA-registered product is the traditional method for bed bug extermination and is focused on baseboards, along the cracks, crevices, and voids in the walls. Some furniture may also require treatment; this includes bedframes, nightstands, and dressers. This method of treatment is guaranteed to eliminate bed bugs on contact.

Bed Bug Mattress And Box Spring Encasements

Mattress and box spring encasements are the best protection a bed has against bed bugs, especially in hotels and lodgings with high occupancy turnover. Encasements are zipped shut to keep bed bugs out ensuring your mattress and box spring won’t have to be thrown away in the event of an infestation.
