Best Bed Bug Exterminator In Caledon

Be careful when hiring a bed bug exterminator. First, do your research on different bed bug treatment methods and how they work. Every method is different and have different efficiency levels. You’ll come to realize that heat treatments are the only way to eliminate an entire infestation. This is done by heating the whole space all at once to lethal levels. Chemical sprays on the other hand do not get into the tight spaces where bed bugs hide. The counter argument would be that they will eventually come in contact with the residual chemicals. Bed bugs are scientifically studied and have proven greater resistance to these chemicals over time. These types of treatments can become more expensive than a heat treatment because it requires more visits, still without the guarantee of full bed bug elimination.

If you’re unsure whether or not you have bed bugs, relying on a visual inspection can be troublesome because bed bugs are thin and really good at hiding. The human eye and a flashlight is not an accurate way to tell if there is a live infestation. Bed bugs let off a distinct musty smell that our beagle “Bella” is trained to alert for.  Bed bugs let off this scent when they are alive. Bella is professionally trained and certified. Never hire a bed bug detection company that is uncertified. The certification is completed with a handler and is done as a team. K-9 inspections have great accuracy if the handler and dog have a good relationship and communicate well. Some reputable certifications are the World Dog Detector Organization (WDDO) and the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association (NESDCA). Our beagles are certified with the WDDO because it sets the standard with unbiased, scientific testing methods, e.g. double-blind testing, and follows the National Pest Management Association’s (NPMA) best management practices. Bella was trained by Seek and Find Experts (SAFE) who are very respected in the training industry. Bed Bug Heat Relief is solely run by two owner operators who are both certified with Bella separately and also live with her.
