Bed Bug Exterminators in Long Island, NY

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.

There are several over the counter products for bed bugs, like alcohol and Diatomaceous earth. Although these approaches might kill the bed bugs you can see, those hidden away can keep multiplying and infesting your home. We suggest reaching out to a professional bed bug exterminator in your local area to ensure a thorough inspection of all affected areas and to prevent any harm to yourself or others when using potentially harsh chemicals.

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!
