How Do We Get Rid of Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are among the most stubborn pests to eliminate. Their ability to hide in tiny crevices, reproduce rapidly, and resist many over-the-counter treatments makes professional extermination the most effective solution. At Mid-West Pest Professionals, we use proven methods to eliminate bed bugs completely—so you can sleep soundly again.

Step 1: Inspection & Identification

We begin with a thorough inspection to locate bed bugs and assess the severity of the infestation. This includes checking:

Mattress seams and bed frames
Furniture joints and upholstery
Electrical outlets, baseboards, and carpet edges

We have advanced tools that can be used to uncover hidden colonies.

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

Once the infestation is assessed, a custom treatment plan is created based on your home’s layout, the extent of the infestation, and your preferences. Common treatment options include:

Heat Treatment

Rooms are heated to over 120°F, killing bed bugs and their eggs in all life stages. This method is chemical-free and highly effective for widespread infestations.

Chemical Treatment

EPA-approved insecticides are applied to targeted areas. Multiple applications may be needed to ensure complete eradication, especially in severe cases.

Fumigation

In enclosed spaces, fumigation gas penetrates deep into furniture and walls to eliminate bed bugs. This is often used for large-scale or commercial infestations.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

This approach combines heat, chemicals, vacuuming, steaming, and education to ensure long-term prevention and control.

Step 3: Follow-Up & Prevention

After treatment, we will likely schedule follow-up visits to ensure the infestation is fully gone. Preventive measures include:

Mattress encasements
Regular inspections
Avoiding second-hand furniture
Ongoing monitoring plans
