Best Bed Bug Exterminator In Stouffville

Ontario is the province in Canada with the most bed bug infestations. This is no surprise considering its large population. Anyone in this province and be unlucky and get bed bugs. They do not care about cleanliness or dirty homes. Bed bugs can end up in the highest class of housing because their only goal is to feed on your blood. They are attracted to the CO2 we emit and that’s how they end up on our beds. Our clothing has a lot of CO2 on it and that’s the main way they travel. They tightly latch onto our clothes or suitcases and infest other homes. Now that you know anyone can get bed bugs it’s important to know what treatment options are available to you. 

Before you consider what extermination method to proceed with you need to know whether or not you have bed bugs in the first place This may seem like an easy task, but it is not. If you have a large infestation it will be fairly easy to see bed bugs. However, if the infestation is small you may not be able to know whether or not you have them. Bed bugs are extremely thin and can hide in the tightest of spaces. They typically only come out at night because that’s when they know they can feed. A visual inspection is not an accurate way to tell whether you do or do not have bed bugs. We recommend a K-9 inspection because dogs are trained to alert for the musty smell bed bugs give off. This is the most accurate way to tell whether or not you have bed bugs. It’s important to get a K-9 inspection before the infestation becomes worse. 

If you do in fact have bed bugs it’s Important to exterminate them as soon as possible. Bed bugs can double in two short weeks. There are two main extermination methods on the market. Chemical and heat treatments. The commonly practiced chemical treatments can help lessen the number of bed bugs in an infestation but cannot fully eliminate an infestation. The spray does not get deep into the cracks and crevices bed bugs hide. The residual usually isn’t enough to kill them either. Chemical treatments while initially cheaper usually end up costing more than a single heat treatment because of the multiple sessions it requires. Heat Treatments on the other hand work by killing all the bed bugs all at once. This is done by heating the entire unit to a minimum of 50 degrees celsius with large heaters and fans. It’s the exterminators job to move around personal items to eliminate any cold spots. One of the main reasons why heat treatments are so successful is because bed bugs actually get active when the heat starts to rise. They are drawn out from their hiding spots and are killed out in the open. We only offer K-9 inspections and heat treatments because these are the two best methods to find and eliminate bed bugs.
