Unfortunately, Madison is home to a wide range of pests. These pests can get into your home and cause a wide range of issues, from property damage to food contamination to diseases.

Most pests are attracted to food, water, and shelter, which is why they love to inhabit our homes and yards. In the case of bed bugs, though, these tiny critters enjoy living off their hosts — humans.

Bed bugs are small, flat, wingless insects that are reddish-brown in color. They are about the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny, ranging from 1mm to 7mm in size. Bed bugs are attracted to body heat and carbon dioxide, which is why they feed off humans. 

Bed bugs bite to feed on blood, which is their only source of nutrition. They need blood meals to mature into adults and produce eggs. Adult females can lay up to three eggs per day. Bed bugs may feed along blood vessels and along lines where the skin touches the bedding. 

Bed bugs drink your blood for a few minutes before becoming full. They then detach from your skin and crawl away to digest their meal. These feedings can lead to red, itchy bites. This can lead to anxiety, irritation, infections, insomnia, and more.

How Professionals Get Rid of Bed Bugs Using Pest Control Services

Getting rid of bed bugs professionally typically involves a comprehensive approach. We inspect all areas where bed bugs and other unwanted pests might hide, including mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture, baseboards, and cracks. We confirm the infestation level and identify bed bug species to tailor the initial service treatment plan.

We may use chemical treatments such as EPA-approved insecticides in multiple formulations ( sprays, dust, or aerosols) to kill bed bugs. Some chemicals provide lasting protection to kill bed bugs that emerge later. Heat treatments are also effective. Thermal remediation is a non-toxic method where the infested space is heated to 120 to 140°F to kill bed bugs and eggs. Steam treatments may be applied to mattresses, furniture, and cracks. This method kills bed bugs and eggs on contact. Cryonite or freezing bed bug treatments may also be used. CO2 freezing uses carbon dioxide snow to freeze the environment and kill bed bugs, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
