Frequently Asked Questions
How long does bed bug treatment take?
A professional bed bug treatment typically takes 2-4 hours for a standard bedroom. Whole-home treatments may take a full day. Most clients see significant improvement within 1-2 weeks after the initial treatment.
Do I need to leave my home during bed bug treatment?
Yes, residents and pets should vacate the home for 4-6 hours after treatment while the products dry. Your technician will give you specific re-entry instructions.
How many treatments are needed to eliminate bed bugs?
Most infestations require 2-3 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart for complete elimination. The number depends on the severity of the infestation and how well the preparation instructions are followed.
Can bed bugs come back after treatment?
With proper treatment and follow-up, bed bugs should not return. However, re-infestation is possible through travel, secondhand furniture, or visitors. We recommend using mattress encasements and being vigilant after treatment.
How do I prepare my home for bed bug treatment?
We provide detailed preparation instructions when you schedule service. Generally, you'll need to wash and bag all bedding and clothing, reduce clutter, pull furniture away from walls, and vacuum thoroughly before treatment.
