Bed Bug Treatment in Westchase, Florida

How Bed Bugs Spread

Every property is at risk of a bed bug infestation. Neither beds nor travelers are necessary for introducing bed bugs to a home or business. Places that see high turnover, like hotels and hospitals, are at greater risk for having bed bugs brought in and spreading, but these pests can move to and from any property, even those without a bed.

Because they do not have wings, bed bugs move very slowly. They typically hitch rides to get from place to place. Some of the items they commonly travel on are:

• Clothing
• Furniture
• Linens
• Boxes

After you or one of your items has been in an infested location, bed bugs may hide inside, and that risks spreading bed bugs to any place it goes afterwards. This includes people that may have bed bugs in their clothing who then visit other businesses or go home. The bed bugs can detach from the item and build up their numbers in the new location.

Although less common, bed bugs can also crawl and move between adjacent rooms or apartment units by traveling through walls, ceilings, and pipes. If one room becomes infested in a hotel, apartment, condominium, or similar building, the entire structure could follow unless the bed bugs are eliminated quickly. Some landlords have language in their contracts that put the onus for payment on the renter if the bed bug infestation is not eliminated quickly.

Our State of the Art Bed Bug Control

The ease with which bed bugs spread, and the fact that they can often go unnoticed for a long period of time means that bed bugs are threatening residential and commercial properties throughout Westchase. Eliminating them early and completely is important for stopping their spread. At Nextgen Pest Solutions, we use a spectrum of bed bug control methods to handle any infestation. These include:

• Bed Bug Sniffing Dogs – Bed bugs are great hiders. Some have even been known to crawl inside of electrical outlets. We have used trained dogs to search out bed bugs that have burrowed into an otherwise invisible location.
  
  
• Heat Treatments – By heating a space to temperatures unsurvivable by bed bugs, this comprehensive method kills bed bugs wherever they exist in the room.
  
  
• Cryonite (Freeze) Treatments – We spray areas where we have located bed bugs with CO2 gas, chilled to a temperature that instantly kills the bugs. This chemical-free treatment is our preferred choice for residential bed bug control.
  
  
• Insecticides – Despite the declining effectiveness of older insecticides against bed bugs in recent years, many infestations will still respond well to the newer treatments. We use insecticides as an affordable alternative treatment for bed bugs, and we can combine it with other treatments for more successful results.

All of our bed bug treatments are safe to use, even if children or pets are present on the property. Heat and freeze treatments do not use chemicals, and insecticides are nontoxic and completely harmless after a few hours of drying time. We tailor each bed bug treatment so that it works best with your property, the infestation, and your budget.
