Bed bugs happen. Getting rid of them is our job.

Nice Pest Company treats bed bugs with two professional services about two weeks apart, following a detailed inspection. Technicians treat mattresses and box springs to the product label, bed frames and headboards, furniture near sleeping areas, baseboards, cracks and crevices, upholstered furniture where needed, and any other harborage the inspection identifies. The products are professional-grade and made specifically for bed bug control.

Two is the standard. The first service eliminates the active bed bugs and the second, about two weeks later, targets any that have emerged since, before they can reproduce. How far the infestation has spread is what the inspection is for, and a larger problem can call for more. You get that answer before the work starts.

Every customer gets a detailed prep sheet before the first visit. It covers laundering bedding and clothing, reducing clutter, and getting rooms ready so treatment can reach where bed bugs actually hide. Preparation is a major part of whether treatment works, and following the instructions is also what keeps the 30-day warranty on the standard treatment in place.

Yes, for a short period. Some activity after the initial service is expected while the products continue working, and on its own it is not a sign the treatment failed. That is part of why the standard treatment includes a second service about two weeks later. Tell your technician what you're seeing and they'll tell you whether it's on track.

The standard bed bug treatment carries a 30-day warranty when the preparation instructions are followed. That condition is doing real work: preparation is a major part of whether a treatment succeeds, which is why the prep sheet goes out before the first visit rather than after it.

Look for bites in lines or clusters on skin exposed during sleep, pepper-like dark spots along mattress seams and box springs, shed skins, and small blood marks on sheets. The bugs themselves are apple-seed sized, flat, and reddish brown, hiding in seams and crevices within a few feet of the bed.

Rarely, and the failed attempts usually make things worse. Bed bugs hide deep in seams, cracks, and wall voids, their eggs resist most store-bought products, and foggers scatter the survivors into new rooms. Professional treatment exists because this is the pest DIY loses to most reliably.

Every bed bug job gets its own estimate, because the extent of the infestation drives the work, and it's priced separately from the recurring pest plan. Text us what you're seeing and a no-obligation number comes back before anything starts, so you can decide with the price in hand.
