Bed Bug Exterminator in Avondale, Arizona

Finding a bed bug exterminator in Avondale, Arizona

There are so many theories about bed bugs that bed bug exterminators spend more time correcting theories than they do treating for these pests. Finding a bed bug exterminator or the right one can be just as hard for the homeowner. Why is it so hard? Mainly because so many pest control companies treat them differently. Some treat with heat which gets to above the temp the pests an survive at, but then there are the dangers where people have reported damage to home from heat. There are chemical treatments to the furniture and bed, but you run the risk of homeowners not following the correct steps for laundry. Success with treating bed bugs is dependent upon specific steps being followed in the correct order. If you are looking for a bed bug exterminator the best thing you can do is call a local trustworthy pest control company and ask a lot of questions. If you do not feel they are educating you then you have found the wrong company.

Victoria’s Secret model sues for being bitten by bed bugs at hotel

Fox News reported Sabrina Jales St. Pierre is suing the Palm Desert Embassy Suites. The model has provided many photos of her bites. The hotel manager of Embassy Suites Palm Desert by Hilton says the staff as well as a pest control company checked the room for bed bugs and found none. This one is for sure going to play out in court for a while. Could be interesting. But we do recommend to all our clients that they check under the sheets by checking the seams on the mattress when they check in. Look for bugs that look like apple seeds hidden in the seam of the mattress.

Best Pest Control Avondale 2018

Best Exterminator Avondale 2018

Let’s be honest most people do not know someone when it comes to pest control, right? We all seem to have a friend who works on cars or knows someone that works on cars. It seems like we all have a friend who knows a great person you should have cut your hair. And we all know the best places to eat in Avondale, Arizona. Truly Phoenix, Arizona is one of the best places to find great restaurants, but I digress.

Why is it that it is so hard to share about pest control? Have we created an idea that having pests means you are dirty? From someone in the pest control industry that is the furthest thing from the truth. Having bugs or pests is 90% about location. Most of the exterminator calls we receive about bugs like scorpions, roaches, rodents, bees, termites, and more have to do with we as humans have built homes in habitat areas for these creatures. Understanding that you have chosen to protect your home with pest control service is what people need to understand.

Finding the best pest control service

Sure we give out awards for the best pest control service, but most of that is based on who’s name is most recognizable in marketing. But how do you know if you have found the best pest control company in Phoenix or Avondale, Arizona? First off is response time. How soon can they get to your problem? Do you want to wait a day or a week? Secondly do they do background checks on their staff? You are trusting a complete stranger in your home. It would be nice to know they are safe and trustworthy. Third thing is how about their callback rating? Do they have to come back out and retreat a lot of homes. You want to find a company that has a treatment plan that is successful the first time. Fourth thing is doest the company have a warranty? Do they stand behind the chemicals and treatment for a specific amount of time?

Make sure you understand everything they are saying, if you do not make sure you stop and ask them to explain it. How safe is the treatment for you and your family or pets? As we think through these questions realize that just because they can come out soon does not mean they are the best if it takes them multiple trips.

Rodent treatment in Avondale, Arizona

These are harder to remove and require professional mice bait. A professional pest control company can help you determine what rodent pest you might have. The correct treatment plan will remove them faster. Call us today at 623-300-1342.

5 Best ways to kill Bed Bugs

Best ways to kill Bed Bugs

5 best ways to kill bed bugsBed Bugs have become an epidemic lately and for many different reasons. We receive many phone calls for Bed Bug treatments each day in Avondale, AZ. Most people want to know the best ways to kill Bed Bugs. The amount of homes with bed bug infestations keeps growing because in many cases people don’t know they have a problem. With such a mosquito problem in Phoenix, AZ most people think the bed bug bite is just a mosquito bite. It isn’t until a week late they have a rash or allergic reaction that they begin to investigate. We have compiled a great prep sheet about how to prep your home for bed bug treatment. Our sheet goes over all the details of cleaning your home for bed bug treatment. But, we are going to give you the top 5 ways to best kill bed bugs.

Signs and symptoms of bed bugs

Pro Pest Control Avondale

Finding out you have bed bugs usually comes about by signs on your skin.

  • Red itchy rash on your body
  • Red bumps that itch on your skin
  • Small blisters that are fluid filled
  • A skin infection where the bacteria has entered the skin

Bed Bug home remedies

  1. Vacuum cleaner— A vacuum does a great job sucking up the bed bugs and their eggs. These tiny bugs are smaller than your pinky finger nail. So while you are vacuuming the mattress make sure you get into every seam. Bed bugs can also hid in box springs and other furnishings in the room so you will want to vacuum them out as well.
  2. Heat— Heat can kill the eggs and bed bugs. Many pest control companies have began using heat treatments. If not done properly these heat treatment machines can damage the home. But heat will draw out the bugs. If you are doing a DIY bed bug treatment you will want to use a hot hair dryer on the bed while using your vacuum cleaner. Also wash your bedding, sheets, pillows, and blankets in the hottest wash you can to kill the bed bugs.
  3. Freeze— Bed bugs cannot live through frozen temperatures. If you have small enough items like throw pillows or clothing you can place them in the freezer to kill the bed bugs.
  4. Seal your bed— There are bags your mattress and box springs can be sealed in. This keeps bed bugs from having a place to go to live as well as they cannot get out. A perfect defense for your bed from bed bugs.
  5. Natural Bed Bug Treatment— There have been some tests with natural pest remedies. Tea tree oil is the best natural pesticide remedy. Put 20 drops of Tea Tree oil in spray bottle with water. Lavender oil with peppermint oil is another great natural bed bug killer. Put 10 drops lavender oil and 10 drops peppermint oil and mix with water in a spray bottle to spray your bed down with. These natural treatments take more time and solution than regular pest control chemicals. The bed will need to be sprayed down daily to fight off the bed bugs until no more bugs are spotted. Rubbing alcohol will kill bed bugs if sprayed directly on them, but with the evaporation it doesn’t last long enough to kill ones not sprayed directly.

Best ways to kill bed bugs

Preventing Bed Bugs

  • When traveling you want to make sure you vacuum out your luggage upon arrival and wash your belonging such as clothes in a hot wash.

  • When staying in a hotel  use a flash light to check the mattress and bed frame for signs of bed bugs
