Inola Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs have managed to get a bad reputation that makes many people believe that if they keep their homes clean and their bodies bathed, they can avoid them. But, unfortunately, this terrible invasive creature can get into just about every Inola home or business. This is why Inola residents need to be concerned about Inola bed bug control.
We know that bed bugs can spread fast. One female bed bug lays as many as five eggs a day, which can quickly turn a couple of bed bugs into hundreds. To stop that from happening, Healthy Homes Exterminating offers pet-friendly and people-friendly Inola bed bug control treatments that eliminate them and keep them from returning. We guarantee our work.
How Do Bed Bugs Get Into My Inola Home?
As mentioned, there are dozens of places that you may visit daily that may bring bed bugs into your Inola home. Some of the most common include:
- Businesses
- Apartments
- Mattresses
- Hospitals
- Movie Theatres
- Motels
- Furniture
- Hotels
- Schools
- Nursing Homes
Hiding in your home will not help you avoid bed bugs as you will have to send the kids to school and eventually need to go to the store. However, a simple trip to a restaurant or checking your coat at a Tulsa city show is all it takes to invite stowaways into your home. The simple truth is anytime you are anywhere, you share space with others, and bed bugs can jump aboard your clothes or bags.
Contrary to what many people think, bed bugs don’t just hide in bedding or suitcases. They easily jump from one person to another and are incredibly stealthy pests that can sit in the fabrics of your clothes until they find their way into your bedroom. Once they arrive, you will need Inola pest control to get them out because they are an extremely challenging species. Healthy Homes Exterminating utilizes a custom treatment plan to ensure we quickly get them out of Inola homes and businesses.
Do Bed Bugs Spread Disease?
According to the CDC, Bed bugs themselves do not spread disease, but that doesn’t stop them from affecting your health in other ways. Healthy Homes Exterminating has treated many homes where people have complained of itching, skin irritation, and allergic reactions caused by the bites of bed bugs. Allergic reactions over time lower your immune system leaving you susceptible to other sicknesses. Plus, sleeping is uncomfortable if you are afraid bed bugs are just waiting to attack.
How Can You Tell if You Have Bed Bugs?
One of the reasons Inola bed bug control can be challenging is that bed bugs are not easy to spot. In fact, most people see the bite marks or body rashes they leave behind before they see a single bed bug. However, if you know what to look for, it is possible to find them in your home. Young bed bugs are tiny and very light in color, allowing them to blend in with your mattress or covers, but adult bed bugs are usually large enough to spot. Odd tiny fecal or blood stains on your bedding are another indication that bed bugs may have settled into your Inola home.
If they have been in your home for a while, you might notice bed bug shells or skins on your bedding or a musty odor that has been associated with bed bugs. The best way to stay ahead of Inola bed bug control is by making it a point to check your bedding and mattress routinely every few weeks or whenever you think about it. If someone has stayed away from home, it is a good idea to check for a few days after returning home. At first sight of trouble, call Healthy Homes Exterminating so we can launch an Inola bed bug control campaign.
Best Way to Eliminate Bed Bugs
The most effective way to rid your home or business of bed bugs is by calling Healthy Homes Exterminating. We are the best when it comes to Inola bed bug control, and we know how to kill bed bugs effectively at an affordable price. We stand behind our bed bug treatments and utilize chemical treatments to ensure they don’t return.
While heat treatments are one option, we find they can be hazardous and extremely expensive, which is why we opt for pesticides for our bed bug control programs. These chemicals kill on contact and have been found to kill bed bugs for as many as 12 months after initial application. That means you won’t have to worry about bed bug control again for at least a year, if not more.
How to Get Ready for A Bed Bug Treatment?
Preparing properly for bed bug treatment in Inola is important if you want the most out of your treatment. All floor clutter the bugs could hide in should be removed, and encasements need to be placed around box springs and mattresses. The technicians at Healthy Homes Exterminating are always willing to help with the encasements if you need some guidance.
We recommend that all linens and bedding be washed and dried to kill bed bugs in them. All clothing in the room should also be washed and dried. If you cannot clean them before our arrival, place them in tied-off plastic bags and sit them outside the home until the treatment is complete and they are thoroughly washed and dried to prevent reintroducing bed bugs to your home.
Finally, we recommend that you vacuum all rugs and carpets in your home and then empty the vacuum outside of your home. If you are nervous about preparing for Inola bed bug control, call us at 918-855-9332, and we will walk you through it.
Can I Get Rid of Bed Bugs Myself?
Getting rid of your bed bugs is possible, but most people spend much more on repeated treatments than just paying us to take care of the problem in one treatment.
We also have heard of people poisoning themselves in their zest to use chemicals that will kill bed bugs. The simple truth is that bed bugs are a formidable opponent. You need an Inola pest control company with our experience and knowledge.
Ultimately, most people spend more or at least the same amount doing it on their own. So save yourself time and frustration, and simply hire Healthy Homes Exterminating for your Inola bed bug control. If you attempt to handle it independently, we advise you to read all labels carefully and wear a respirator.
Can I Stop Bed Bugs from Getting Into My Home or Business?
Bed bugs are sneaky, so it’s not always possible to stop them from getting into your Inola home or business. However, you can do a couple of things to reduce the chances of them getting inside your home. Putting bed bug encasements on your mattresses and box springs helps protect your bed. Also, after traveling, wash and dry all clothing.
