Pest Control for Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are a real nightmare. These tiny blood-sucking insects are known for their itchy bites, ability to quickly reproduce, and tendency to hide deep inside tiny cracks.
They are not only annoying but challenging to get under control. That’s why we’ve created pest control services specifically designed to treat and remove bed bugs once and for all. Whether they’ve infested your home or commercial business, Catseye Pest Control has the skills, experience, and equipment to effectively remove any bed bug infestation.
Discover more about our specific pest control procedures for the removal and control of bed bugs. And how we can get you back to pest-free living in as soon as today by setting up a cost-free inspection.
How Are Bed Bugs Eradicated?
An oil-based solution containing natural fungal spores is sprayed in zones frequented by bed bugs. As these insects move across the treated areas, the spores latch onto their legs and bodies. Subsequently, they transport these spores back to the cracks and crevices where they live, and the spores are shared with other bed bugs. Any bug that encounters these spores gets infected and usually succumbs within 4-10 days.
One of our bed bug control professionals will treat your mattresses, box springs, furniture, window and door frames, curtains, and other areas where bed bugs could be hiding. Any eggshells and shed skins will be removed.
Bed bug monitors will be installed in your home so we can keep an eye on the pest activity during the program. We also offer special mattress encasements to deter bed bugs from nesting in your mattress and box spring.
Our program is typically four weeks long with a bed bug control professional visiting your home once a week during that time. Our Bed Bug Elimination Program pairs well with our Platinum Year-Round Home Protection Program because it allows us to continue monitoring and protecting your home from bed bugs.
How to Prepare for Bed Bug Treatment
A joint effort between you and our bed bug control professional is needed while managing a bed bug infestation. This cooperation will help us fix your pest problem quickly and more effectively.
Here are some important ways you can prepare your home for Catseye’s Bed Bug Elimination Program:
Notify Technician of Health Concerns
Let us know if you or a family member has health concerns such as pregnancy or asthma.
Remove Bedding & Curtains
Remove all bed linens and curtains throughout your home. Machine wash at the hottest setting and replace after the treatment has been done.
Wash Clothing
All clothing must be washed and dried on highest heat setting. Store all clothing in sealed plastic bags until after treatment.
Vacuum Thoroughly
Vacuum all sides of the mattress. Vacuum floors paying particular attention to the area where the floor and wall meet. Remove vacuum bag immediately and dispose outdoors.
Bag Linens
If you do not have time to wash linens, clothing, curtains etc., bag as many of these items as possible until you have time to go through them.
Disassemble Beds
Disassemble all beds and remove headboards that are attached to walls and reassemble after the treatment.
If the infestation is in a child’s rooms, put stuffed animals in the dryer for several minutes on high heat. When washing anything from stuffed animals to curtains, be sure to check the labels first and clean according to those directions so that none of your belongings are damaged.
After the Bed Bug Elimination Program is complete, we recommend you place mattresses and box springs in Mattress Safe Covers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Check for Bed Bugs?
While bed bugs are not known to spread any diseases, they can cause psychological stress and keep you and your family from a good night’s sleep. Don’t let the bed bugs bite is more than just a phrase, after all.
Bed bug bites are itchy and can even trigger allergic reactions in some people.
The first signs of a bed bug infestation are itchy bites in clusters of three and tiny blood spots on your pajamas, bedding, and mattress from crushed bed bugs. Use a flashlight and credit card or paint scraper to check the common places where bed bugs like to hide.
Look for shed skins, eggshells, and bed bugs near the piping of your mattress and box spring, cracks along the headboard and other nooks and crannies in the bedroom.
Don’t forget to check the seams of chairs and couches, including cushions, as well as the folds of curtains. If there is a large bed bug infestation you may also notice a gross “raspberry” smell.
