Our Bed Bug Removal Plan for Long Island Homes & Businesses

Our comprehensive bed bug treatment plan delivers maximum protection for your Long Island property, signs of infestation, and DIY prevention tips. Learn all the details below.

Our Bed Bug Control Process

When a bed bug infestation threatens your space, immediate, professional action is essential. At EM Pest Control, our bed bug control process combines expert inspections, customized treatment plans, and ongoing prevention strategies. Our goal is to deliver lasting results for a bed bug-free home or business on Long Island.

Detailed Bed Bug Inspection

Our Long Island bed bug specialists conduct a meticulous inspection of your home, identifying all areas of bed bug activity, including hiding spots in mattresses, furniture, and cracks.

Targeted & Safe Treatment

We apply professional bed bug treatments to infested areas, focusing on cracks, crevices, and other harborage sites. Our methods are chosen for maximum effectiveness and safety for your family and pets.

Protection & Prevention

Multiple treatments are often necessary for complete bed bug elimination. We schedule follow-up visits and provide recommendations to help prevent future bed bug infestations in your Long Island home.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

1. Live Bed Bugs: Spotting live bed bugs is a definitive sign of an infestation.

2. Bites Marks: Waking up with clusters or lines of itchy, red welts on exposed skin—like the arms, neck, or face—is a common sign of bed bugs. Some people may experience intense itching, while others might not react at all.

3. Blood Stains on Sheets: After feeding, bed bugs may leave behind small blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases. These stains are usually dark or rusty in color and can be a telltale sign that bed bugs are present in your sleeping area.

4. Dark Fecal Spots: Bed bugs excrete digested blood, which appears as dark, ink-like spots on your bedding, mattress seams, or walls. These spots are often mistaken for dirt or mold, but their presence should not be ignored.

5. Shed Skins and Eggshells: As bed bugs grow, they shed their exoskeletons, leaving behind translucent skins. You may also find tiny, white eggs or eggshells in the crevices of your mattress or furniture. These remnants are a clear indication of an active infestation.

Customized Treatment Plans

A bed bug infestation requires immediate and strategic action. At EM Pest Control, we deliver comprehensive bed bug control solutions designed not only to treat active infestations but also to provide the long-term prevention that Long Island residents need for total peace of mind.

  • Thermal Heat Treatment: A leading non-chemical approach that raises the room's temperature to a lethal level, effectively eliminating all life stages, including hard-to-kill bed bug eggs.

  • Targeted Chemical Application: Strategic use of professional-grade, proven residual insecticides in cracks, crevices, and harborages where bed bugs hide.

  • Physical Removal: The use of specialized vacuums, steam, and mattress encasements to immediately reduce populations and contain the pests.

  • Structural Sealing: Recommendations and application of caulk/sealants to close off small hiding spots and limit bed bug movement between rooms

4 Effective Methods of Getting Rid of Bed Bugs

While bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate completely on your own, a proactive DIY approach can help reduce their numbers and prepare your home for professional treatment. Here are some key steps you can take today.

Wash & Dry All Linens and Clothing

Wash all your bedding, curtains, and affected clothing in hot water and dry on the highest heat setting. The high temperature is a very effective way to kill bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs.

Vacuum Thoroughly & Regularly

Use a powerful vacuum with a crevice attachment to clean mattresses, bed frames, baseboards, and any other furniture in the affected room. Immediately seal the vacuum bag in a plastic bag and dispose of it in an outdoor trash can to prevent re-infestation.

Reduce Clutter & Seal Cracks

Bed bugs love to hide. Clear all clutter from the floor and around your bed to reduce their hiding spots. Use caulk to seal cracks in your walls, baseboards, and bed frame to make it harder for them to move and breed.

Use Mattress & Box Spring Encasements

Purchase bed bug-proof encasements for your mattress and box spring. These zippered covers trap any existing bed bugs inside, causing them to die over time, while also preventing new bugs from infesting your bedding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bed bugs are less dangerous than they are a nuisance. Bed bug bites are virtually painless and do not transmit diseases. However, most people develop an allergic reaction to the saliva transmitted during bites, causing red, itchy welts that can often be relieved with topical steroid creams. After periods of extended exposure, it is possible for humans to reach a point where they no longer have a reaction to bed bug bites, or those reactions may become more severe.

Like cockroaches, bed bugs are hitchhikers and masters at hiding. You can get bed bugs anywhere such as:

  • Work
  • School
  • Public transportation
  • Movie theaters
  • Retail stores
  • And many more

This variety of habitats helps them thrive and spread, making them hard to control.

EM Pest Control provides a variety of bed bug solutions, including heat treatments or pesticides effective against bed bugs. One of the most important aspects of this service is a thorough inspection of your home to identify where bed bugs are hiding and breeding. Follow-up visits to ensure the treatment's effectiveness are also a crucial step in the process. Contact us, and a certified, highly trained bed bug specialist, will conduct a thorough inspection and assessment of the area to create a customized treatment plan.

Each pest control company tackles bed bugs differently, so the cost of a bed bug treatment plan varies. Get a free quote and contact your local bed bug specialists at EM Pest Control to request a thorough bed bug inspection.

To protect yourself, it's crucial to regularly inspect your living spaces, especially if you've recently traveled or acquired second-hand items.

  • Look for signs such as tiny blood stains on your sheets, dark spots (bed bug excrement), or even the bugs themselves in mattress seams and crevices.
  • Inspect your suitcases and bags outdoors before bringing them into the house.
  • Vacuum your suitcase thoroughly before storing it. Also using a garment hand steamer on your luggage is preferable because it can kill any bed bugs or eggs that may have traveled home with you.
  • Wash and dry all your clothes - even those that have not been worn – on high heat.
  • Keep clothes that go to the dry cleaner in a sealed plastic bag until they can be transported.

If you suspect an infestation, it's best to act quickly. While DIY methods can sometimes help, professional pest control services in Long Island are well-equipped to handle these resilient pests effectively. Remember, early detection and treatment are key to keeping your home bed bug-free. If you suspect that bed bugs may have infiltrated your home or business, contact EM Pest Control!

EM Pest Control offers:

  • An inspection of your property to identify all hiding places that host live bed bugs. 
  • Discuss what we found and create a customized treatment plan.
  • Proceed with the treatment based on our findings.
  • After treatment, we will continue to provide support with tips and prevention measures as needed.

By staying informed and vigilant, you can enjoy a peaceful night of sleep without the worry of bed bugs. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, a little knowledge goes a long way in ensuring a peaceful, bite-free experience.
