Bed Bugs In Your St. Petersburg Home?
Bed bugs spread fast and hide where sprays cannot reach. We confirm what you have, then treat it with a targeted plan or whole-structure fumigation, priced after a free inspection.
Why Are Bed Bugs So Hard To Get Rid Of?
Bed bugs are small, flat and great at hiding in mattress seams, furniture joints, outlets and baseboards. Their eggs are tiny and tough, and a few missed bugs can restart the whole problem. That is why store-bought sprays and foggers rarely work.
They also travel. Bed bugs hitch rides in luggage, used furniture and backpacks, and in condos and apartments they can move between units. Anyone can get them, no matter how clean their home is.
What Are The Signs Of Bed Bugs?
Check your bed and nearby furniture for these signs, especially along seams and edges.
- Small rust-colored or dark spots on sheets, mattress seams or the box spring
- Tiny, flat, reddish-brown bugs about the size of an apple seed
- Shed skins and tiny white eggs in seams and crevices
- Itchy bites, often in a line or cluster, that you notice in the morning
- A musty odor in rooms with heavy activity
Not everyone reacts to bites, so the bugs and stains are often the better clue. If you find something, take a photo or seal it in a bag and call us.
How Do We Treat Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are not part of quarterly service. Every case gets its own inspection and a plan based on how far they have spread.
Targeted Treatment
When bed bugs are limited to certain rooms, we focus treatment on the beds, furniture and cracks where they live.
Whole-Structure Fumigation
When they have spread through the home or into walls, fumigation treats every room at once and reaches bed bugs at every life stage, including eggs.

A few steps keep bed bugs from spreading while you wait for treatment.
- Do not move furniture, bedding or belongings into other rooms
- Keep your mattress for now, since dragging it out can spread bed bugs
- Wash bedding and clothes in hot water and dry them on high heat
- Skip foggers and bug bombs, which push bed bugs deeper into walls
- Vacuum around the bed and seal the vacuum bag in a trash bag

Have Questions About Bed Bugs?
Is bed bug treatment included in quarterly service?
No. Bed bugs need specialized treatment, so every case gets its own inspection and quote.
Do I need to throw away my mattress?
Usually not, since most mattresses can be treated. Throwing one out before treatment can drag bed bugs through the house and into other rooms.
Can bed bugs spread to my neighbors?
In condos, apartments and townhomes, they can move through shared walls and hallways. If you live in a multi-unit building, let your property manager know so nearby units can be checked.
Do bed bugs carry disease?
They are not known to spread disease, but their bites itch and an infestation can cost you sleep. Treating them quickly keeps them from spreading.
Do you treat hotels and rentals?
Yes. We work with businesses and rental property owners. Call us to set up an inspection.
