Bedbugs

Professional Bed Bug Inspection & Treatment

Bed bugs are one of the most difficult household pests because they hide in tiny cracks and crevices and feed while people sleep. A small infestation can grow quickly if left untreated.

At The Eco Mouse, we provide detailed inspections, professional treatments, heat treatments, monitoring, and follow-up services designed to help eliminate bed bug infestations.

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood. They do not fly or jump but are excellent hitchhikers and commonly spread through luggage, furniture, clothing, and personal belongings.

Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed.

Signs of Bed Bugs

  • Live bed bugs

  • Small reddish or brown stains on sheets

  • Tiny black fecal spots on mattresses or furniture

  • Shed skins

  • White eggs in seams or cracks

  • Bites that appear overnight (bites alone cannot confirm bed bugs)

Where Bed Bugs Hide

Bed bugs can be found in:

  • Mattress seams

  • Box springs

  • Bed frames

  • Headboards

  • Nightstands

  • Upholstered furniture

  • Recliners

  • Baseboards

  • Behind wall décor

  • Electrical outlets

  • Luggage

  • Clothing

  • Cracks and crevices

Our Inspection Process

Every service begins with a careful inspection to locate bed bug activity and determine the extent of the infestation.

We inspect:

  • Beds

  • Furniture

  • Baseboards

  • Bedrooms

  • Living rooms

  • Adjacent rooms

  • Common hiding areas

Proper identification is essential before treatment begins.

Professional Treatment Options

Conventional Treatment

Targeted applications are made to cracks, crevices, bed frames, furniture, baseboards, and other areas where bed bugs hide.

Depending on the situation, follow-up services may be recommended to address newly emerged bed bugs after eggs hatch.

Whole-Room Heat Treatment

Heat treatment raises room temperatures to levels lethal to bed bugs and their eggs.

Heat penetrates mattresses, furniture, wall voids, and other difficult-to-treat hiding places where bed bugs may be concealed.

Heat treatments may be combined with targeted applications depending on the structure and infestation.

Mattress & Box Spring Encasements

Encasements help protect mattresses and box springs after treatment and make future inspections easier.

Monitoring

Interceptor traps and monitoring devices may be recommended to help evaluate activity following treatment.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To improve treatment effectiveness:

  • Reduce clutter.

  • Wash and dry bedding on high heat.

  • Bag cleaned items before returning them.

  • Empty dressers if instructed.

  • Follow all preparation instructions before service.

Preparation requirements vary depending on the treatment being performed.

After Treatment

You may continue seeing some activity for a period following treatment.

Depending on the treatment method used, bed bugs that were hidden during service or newly emerged from eggs may still appear before the treatment process is complete.

Follow-up inspections and additional treatments may be recommended when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can bed bugs spread from room to room?

Yes. Bed bugs can move through walls, furniture, belongings, and shared living spaces.

Can I get bed bugs from travel?

Yes. Hotels, luggage, public transportation, and used furniture are common sources.

Are bed bug bites enough to confirm an infestation?

No. Bites can resemble reactions caused by many other insects or skin conditions. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm bed bug activity.

Is one treatment always enough?
