Pest Control PRO LLC
Bed bugs are not a cleanliness problem - they ride in on luggage, furniture, laundry and secondhand items, then establish in mattress seams and wall voids. A DIY spray usually makes it worse, because it scatters the colony into adjacent rooms. Correct treatment starts with identifying how far the infestation has spread.

Signs of Bed bugs
- Small rust-colored stains on sheets, mattress seams or box springs
- Dark pepper-like spots that cluster along seams and tufts
- Pale shed skins and empty egg cases on the bed frame
- Live bugs in mattress seams, headboard screws and behind picture frames
- Bite clusters in a line or zigzag on exposed skin while sleeping
- A sweet, musty odor in a heavily infested room
How we treat Bed bugs
We inspect the bed, frame, headboard and adjacent rooms before recommending anything. Bed bugs hide in a small number of specific harborages, and treating only what is visible leaves the colony intact.
Depending on the level of infestation we use heat treatment for the affected area, targeted residual treatment in harborages, and monitoring devices to confirm the population is gone. Heat kills every life stage including eggs in one visit, which is why it is used for established infestations.
Follow-up visits are part of the plan. Bed bug work is treatment plus verification, and a job is not finished until monitoring comes back clean.
Prevention
After treatment: keep beds off the wall, encase mattresses and box springs, avoid moving belongings between rooms during an active infestation, and check luggage and secondhand furniture before bringing them inside. If one unit in a building is infested, adjacent units usually need inspection at the same time.
Plans & pricing
Inspection is free for Central Ohio properties we service. Bed Bugs service is priced by scope - one-time as-needed treatment, or a quarterly plan under one of the three residential tiers that includes re-treatment between visits if the problem returns.

FAQs about Bed bugs
What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?
Bite marks, rust-colored stains on bedding, dark spots on mattress seams, shed skins, and a musty odor.
How do you get rid of bed bugs?
A full inspection determines the plan, then treatment plus follow-up monitoring to eliminate the infestation.
Are bed bug treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use low-toxicity methods and explain all safety precautions before, during, and after treatment.
How long does bed bug treatment take?
Usually two to four visits. Heat treatment can kill an active population in one visit, but monitoring confirms whether follow-up is needed.
Do I have to throw out my furniture?
No. Furniture is normally treated in place. Discarding items spreads bed bugs to other rooms and other homes.
