About Bed Bugs
The pests are hitchhikers, invading a home or commercial establishment via luggage, backpacks, diaper bags or even pants cuffs or shoe soles.
Bed bugs may be found in locations where human hosts spend longer times — places like beds, couches or wheelchairs. The threat of bed bugs is rising due to more frequent travel, exchange of second-hand furnishings and increasing resistance to pesticides. While bed bugs are not known to transmit disease, their bites can result in skin rashes and allergic symptoms. The bites can be painful, affecting sleep and work performance.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Methods
Some pest control services may apply only individual heat or spray treatments to bed bug infestations. When you call on Atkins Pest Control, your home will receive a two-level bed bug heat treatment, followed by spray. Then we follow up within two weeks to assure the treatment has been effective.
We apply a heat treatment to kill the insects, adults and eggs. We seek to heat a room evenly to 135 degrees, close it off and move to another room. After the heat process, we apply a product to prevent further bed bug infestation. Depending on the size of a home, the process may take four to six hours. Most often, we treat rooms with furnishings within them. However, when necessary for effective bed bug treatment, we can move items to a specially equipped truck.

Bed Bug Treatment Preparation and Precautions
Because our bed bug treatment uses higher than normal temperatures, it is important that customers carefully follow our Pre-Project Checklist. The list details items, including but not limited to medications, aerosol items, petroleum products and ammunition, that must be removed prior to bed bug treatment.
At the time of the initial call and inspection, our Atkins Pest Control technician will explain the process and will review the Pre-Project Checklist with you. Prior to beginning the treatment, our technicians will review all rooms to assure that the treatment can be conducted safely.
