OUR APPROACH
How We Eliminate Bed Bugs
Inspect First
Every job starts with a detailed inspection mapping harbourage — mattress and box spring seams, bed frames, headboards, baseboards, and behind outlet plates. Missing one harbourage point is the single most common reason a treatment fails.
Treat What Was Mapped
Treatment is applied to the harbourage identified during inspection rather than broadcast across a room. Bed bugs sit within a few metres of where people sleep, and that concentration is what makes targeted work effective.
Return for the Hatch
A follow-up visit catches nymphs emerging from eggs that survived the first application. Bed bug work is a sequence, not a single visit, and treating it as one visit is why infestations recur.
How to Identify Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown, and about the size of an apple seed before feeding, swelling and darkening after a blood meal. Small rust-coloured spots on mattress seams and bedding (fecal spotting), shed skins, and clusters of bite marks in a line are the most reliable signs.
Seasonal Behaviour in Ontario
Bed bugs are nocturnal and hide in tight seams and crevices near where people sleep during the day, emerging to feed while a host is still. They don't fly or jump but spread efficiently through luggage, secondhand furniture, and shared walls in multi-unit buildings, which is why an infestation can appear even without recent travel.
DIY or Call a Professional?
Bed bugs are one of the few pests where DIY treatment is actively discouraged: over-the-counter sprays tend to scatter a population into wall voids and neighbouring units rather than eliminate it, making professional treatment harder later. Any suspected sign — bites, spotting, or a sighting — is worth a professional inspection immediately rather than attempting to treat it independently.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Bed Bug Control — Questions We Get
How do you inspect for bed bugs?
Systematically, working outward from where people sleep. We check mattress and box spring seams, bed frame joints, headboards, adjacent furniture, baseboards, carpet edges and behind outlet plates and wall hangings, looking for live insects, shed skins, eggs and faecal spotting. The map that inspection produces is what the treatment plan is built on.
Do you treat neighbouring units as well?
We recommend it in any attached or multi-unit building. Bed bugs move between units through shared wall voids, service risers and outlet boxes, so treating one unit while the adjoining one is untreated reliably re-seeds the problem. We can coordinate with a property manager or condo board to treat the affected cluster together.
