They can run, but they can’t hide.
Bed bugs are expert travelers. All it takes is for one to attach itself to your pant leg, backpack, luggage, etc. and you can unknowingly bring them in with you. They aren’t a sanitation issue like roaches and ants so it’s most likely not something you did to attract them. Unfortunately, bed bugs can just show up one day and you’re not sure how they got in.
Bed bugs can be difficult to get rid of. And left untreated for a good amount of time gives them ample chance to multiply. They will stain your sheets and other cloth items as well as cause itchy bites. And even though they aren’t a sanitation issue, they can give the illusion that your home or business isn’t clean.
It all depends on your situation. You have other treatment methods to choose from, but the professionals at Western Fumigation can walk you through your choices and why fumigation may ultimately be your best option. We want to use the method that will be both safe and effective.
Fumigants are highly regulated and can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. Not enough and you get a false sense of security when you don’t see any bed bugs. But that’s because they’ve gone into hiding further than they were before. Too much and it’s a danger you don’t want to handle yourself. When you bring in Western Fumigation, as long as you follow the preparation guidelines your Western Fumigation representative provides to you and you and your family (including pets!) vacate the premises, your fumigation treatment will not only be safe – but you will come home to a bed bug free home.
Sadly, no. There are no DIY bed bug treatments that will actually work. In fact, they will often make it worse since the bed bugs won’t be killed, and it will just cause them to hide further inside your home or push them to other rooms. The hiding makes them harder to get to and the time you just wasted is more time for them to reproduce. It’s important to leave bed bug treatments up to the pros.
