Memphis Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are small insects about the size of an apple seed. They have flat bodies and reddish-brown coloring that makes them difficult to see on carpets, beds, and other furniture. Bed bugs feed on human blood when people sleep and can quickly build up a population if left unchecked.

In recent years, bed bug infestations have become increasingly common due to international travel and their ability to hide in luggage or clothing during transit. Their keen ability to hitchhike onto such items allows them access to homes, hotels, and businesses where they can very quickly establish themselves. As such, it’s important to know how to identify bed bugs and understand their behaviors so you can prevent them from entering your property in the first place.

If you think you may be dealing with a bed bug problem, look for these signs of their presence: 

• Blood spots on sheets or mattresses
• Molted exoskeletons left behind after they molt 
• An unpleasant smell coming from infested areas 
• Bites or bumps on your skin

If you've noticed any of these signs in your home or business, don’t delay in contacting Mid-South Pest & Termite. Our specialists are available to answer any questions you may have and provide the bed bug control services you need to eliminate the problem quickly and effectively. 

How We Approach Bed Bug Control

At Mid-South Pest & Termite, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming a bed bug infestation can be. Our team of skilled technicians is well-versed in the behaviors of bed bugs and knows the best methods for addressing the population and effectively neutralizing them. 

Our treatment plan consists of the following steps:

• Inspection: Our specialists begin with an inspection of your home or business to accurately assess the severity of the issue and determine which treatment option is best suited for your particular situation. This includes looking at furniture, carpets, mattresses, and other areas where bed bugs may have taken up residence to confirm their presence. 
• Treatment: After confirming there’s an infestation present on your property, we move forward with treatment based on what we find during our inspection process. Depending upon its size and scope, this may involve using chemical sprays or insecticides specifically designed for eliminating bed bugs along with steam treatments if necessary in more heavily infested areas. 
• Follow-up: After our initial treatment is complete, we will return to your property for follow-up visits to make sure the underlying issue has been completely eradicated. These follow-up visits are important as they give us a chance to confirm that all of the bed bugs have been eliminated and assess if any further action needs to be taken in order to ensure success. 
• Prevention: Our specialists can also offer guidance and advice on how to prevent bed bugs from coming back in the future, including ways to reduce clutter and better protect your home or business against exposure to these pests. 

At the end of our follow-up visit, a 30-day warranty goes into effect to ensure that your home or business remains bed bug-free, giving you the peace of mind you need to rest easy.
