Do Bed Bugs Spread Disease?
In terms of disease, bed bugs are one of the least threatening, invasive pests in Owasso. The CDC reports that they do not spread blood-borne illnesses. But they do consume your blood, so you probably don’t want them hanging around your home. In addition, while they don’t spread disease, they are known to cause itching, allergic reactions, and skin situation because of the repeated bites. Plus, having bed bugs in your home is stressful and, frankly, disgusting. That’s why we offer premiere Owasso bed bug control so you can get them out.
Are There Signs You Have Bed Bugs?
Most of the time, you won’t visibly see bed bugs before you notice their bites. Usually, when people start to wake up with red bites that are itchy and swollen, they realize they have bed bugs. You might also notice that there are small fecal or blood stains from the bugs on your bedsheets.
Other signs that you may have bed bugs include empty bed bug shells, skins, and a musky odor. The best thing you can do to help with Owasso bed bug control is to check your mattress and your bedding for any signs of bed bugs.

What is the Best Way to Get Rid of Owasso Bed Bugs?
There is no shortcut to Owassa bed bug control. If you want bed bugs out of your home, the best thing you can do is hire a professional. The team at Healthy Homes Exterminating has years of experience removing bed bugs from Owasso and surrounding areas. We offer a 100% removal guarantee because we believe in our products and removal treatments 100%. Customers must follow bed bug preparation.
Generally, there are two ways to remove bed bugs, chemical, and heat treatment. We don’t do heat treatment because it is a temporary and expensive practice. Instead, we offer lasting Owasso bed bug control with chemical treatments. Not only do the chemicals we use kill on contact, but they continue to kill up to 12 months after treatment. That means it will get any new or remaining bugs after the initial treatment. Our Owasso clients never want to see a bed bug again; we make that a reality.
How Can I Prepare for Owasso Bed Bug Control Treatment?
Proper preparation is key to eliminating bed bugs in your home. In order to get the best results from a treatment, the customer should do certain things.
You should remove floor clutter so the bed bugs cannot hide. Then you should place bed bug encasements on your box springs and bed mattresses to protect your mattresses. Mattress encasements also help block off any hiding inside your mattress. We can help you install these if you need a hand.
Wash all accessible clothing in your bedroom, bedding, and linens, and dry them on high heat because the heat will kill any hiding in the fabric. If you don’t have time to clean everything before the treatment, place it in plastic bags and put those bags outside your home. After treatment then, you can wash and dry your clothes and linens.
Finally, give your home a fresh vacuum and dump the bag outside your home so the bugs cannot drop back into your rugs. We encourage all of our customers to call us at 918-855-9332 if they have any further questions.
Can I Get Rid of Bed Bugs On My Own?
It is possible to kill bed bugs yourself, but this isn’t as effective as most people think it will be. To really get rid of bed bugs, most people end up treating their home several times. In addition, some unlucky people poison themselves accidentally instead of the bed bugs.
We have helped many Owasso homeowners who were frustrated that their efforts didn’t work and angry about the presence of bed bugs in their beds. We wish you luck if you want to give it a shot, but make sure to follow all of the instructions on the chemical labels and always wear a respirator.
Or, you could just call Healthy Homes Exterminating and let us handle the problem.
