If you’re here, then you might have a pretty awful bed bug infestation on your hands – and for that, I’m truly sorry. A bed bug infestation is a nightmare to deal with, and even harder to get rid of. And when it’s out of hand, well, that’s not a very comfortable home to sleep in.
But the good news is, there are control methods – and we can get the bugs out of the house. However, doing it alone at this stage is probably fruitless. Bed bugs like to move around a building, searching for hiding spots and more food sources (i.e. humans). And once they’ve spread throughout the home, that means there are bugs and eggs all over the place. How could we possibly get rid of them all?
- We need a method that can reach every nook and cranny – structural fumigation
Aside from bed bugs, there’s only one other pest problem that requires a structural fumigation: a termite infestation. And the reasons are pretty similar. Like bed bugs, termites prefer to stay hidden, are very small, and will travel throughout the home. That’s why fumigation is needed: how else can we locate and eradicate every single last bug and/or egg?
- Why can’t I handle this on my own?
Because bed bugs can be unpredictable. For instance, we know they prefer softer materials (like flannel bed sheets), but they’ve been found on plenty of harder materials – they’ll hide almost anywhere if necessary. So you could launder every piece of clothing in the house, and still end up with hidden bed bugs inside your nightstand.
All it takes is a couple of eggs to escape your notice. You’ll think the problem is gone, but it will slowly rise again as those eggs hatch and the bed bugs procreate. Soon enough, you’ll be dealing with this all over again. Wouldn’t you prefer to let the experts handle it for you?
