We have a proven methods with a great track record. Call a professional ASAP – do not try to eliminate Bedbugs yourself as this could make matters worse.
Unfortunately Bedbugs have grown resistant to many insecticides. We recommend a program with monthly follow up applications. WHY? Bedbugs can survive without a blood meal for up to a year. Eggs are very well protected and sometimes impossible to reach. We have found them nesting behind outlet covers, this means Bedbugs can harbor inside walls, this protects them and their eggs very well.
This system has three attractants that will be installed initially. The system should be checked at a minimum quarterly frequency. Two of the attractants are pheromone and kairomone, the third attractant is co2. The co2 mimics a living, breathing host. It is only active for 24 hours. The other two attractants are said to last up to 90 days.
See what top bed bug experts who worked with the Verifi™ bed bug detector had to say about how they believe it will impact the industry
“An ongoing monitoring program with the Verifi™ bed bug detector could find infested locations and then recommend treatment before the infestation is completely out of control.” “We tested the Verifi™ bed bug detector in hotel rooms that had had a previous infestation, but were considered to be free of bed bugs when we put the monitors in. The Verifi detector was able to detect bed bugs in some of the rooms.”
– Dr. Phil Koehler, professor of urban entomology, University of Florida“I can see pest management professionals placing the Verifi™ bed bug detector units in every room of multi-unit housing or hotels within the next year.”

We are the leaders in the industry for Bedbug elimination and control
Here are a few methods for bedbug control that we have tested over the years:
The Cryonite machine
How does Cryonite work? Cryonite kills insects by freezing them on contact. We have had very limited success with this system. We still had to resort back to the conventional proven methods of treatment. This is a picture of our machine, because of the substantial added extra cost we no longer recommend this application.
Thermal – HEAT!
HEAT! The problem is you need to bring the temperature up to 120 -130 degrees for 7 minutes to 60 minutes depending on the life cycle your going after. Eggs will take the most amount of time, while nymphs or babies will be eliminated quicker. If bedbugs are in bedded in insulation (which is rated by R – value, that is the resistance to heat transfer) or a similar substance it may not penetrate enough. And follow up visits will still be needed. The cost for heat treatments are extremely costly and the success is not 100%.
Bedbug sniffing Dogs
Bedbug Dogs are very limited in their use. They can give false readings and obviously can’t solve the problem. You would still need to hire someone to provide the bedbug elimination service. Usually if someone suspects they have Bedbugs they are correct. Their is so many signs bites, and visual inspection for Bedbugs around the Bed is what is needed. Once again it is an additional cost that can be avoided, especially if you already know or suspect Bedbugs.
THE ACTISOL FOG
The Actisol machines penetrates deep within wall cavities furniture cavities and an other object that offers void for Bedugs to hide. These machines have been in the Pest Control industry for years almost seems like forever. They are used to eliminate, carpenter Ants, Yellow Jackets, Termites, Bedbugs and many more pest. This machine created a fog killing and flushing Bedbugs out of hiding spaces. This unit coupled with other residual applications, Inspections, and follow up treatments and monitoring are in our opinion the best option for our customers.
