Mooresville Bed Bug Inspection
Bed bugs are tiny parasitic insects that feed on blood. They're difficult to detect because they tend to only come out at night. When an infestation is in the early stages, bed bugs leave almost no signs behind. Even if you find signs that you have bed bugs in your home, locating the source of the infestation can be challenging.
When you call us for a bed bug inspection, our pest control experts will come to your home and look for the following:
- Fecal matter: Bed bugs often leave behind fecal matter that's the size of a poppy seed and are usually black or dark brown in color. You can usually find clusters of fecal matter in different areas of your bed. For example, the folds of your mattress might contain these droppings. It's possible for droppings to be left behind in areas that are as far as eight feet away from nesting spots. Once we find droppings, our team can better understand where the infestation is located and how to get rid of it.
- Blood smears: We also search for blood smears along your mattress or sheets. When you roll over, you can squash these bugs, which results in noticeable smear marks. These marks are easier to detect in lighter sheets.
- Sweet odor: If the bed bug infestation is large, we may smell a sweet odor near the nesting spots. Small egg clusters may also be found in these areas. When bed bugs mature or molt, they shed their exoskeletons. These shells are nearly transparent but should be located during our inspection.
If bed bugs bite your skin, they'll likely do so in small lines or groups. Bed bugs can create a zig-zag pattern with their bites. However, there are many types of insects that can bite you while you're sleeping, which is why we look for other signs before declaring that your home has a bed bug infestation.
Bed Bug Treatments in Mooresville, NC
At Noosa Pest Management, we offer effective and proven bed bug removal services tailored to your needs. Our treatments range from heat solutions to liquid applications, and we can even freeze the bed bugs depending on where the infestation is located. Our goal is to safely apply the most effective treatment to eradicate the bed bugs in your home.
The first stage of our treatment process involves an in-depth inspection to identify the insect causing the issue. Even if all signs point to bed bugs, it’s important to confirm, as the pest could be fleas or ticks, which would require different treatments. Once we’ve confirmed the presence of bed bugs, we'll proceed with our targeted treatment that gets rid of the insects and their nests.
Among the treatments we offer, heat treatment is often the best option. The heat treatments we provide to Mooresville residents are designed to force bed bugs out of their nesting spots. These insects can't handle high temperatures well, which means that the treatment is lethal. Heat can also reach deeper areas that can't be properly accessed by liquid treatments.
By the end of the process, we ensure that the treatment effectively eliminates the bed bugs and their nests, providing you with a long-lasting solution.
Effectiveness of Our Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Since our beginning in 2006, we've worked hard to ensure our bed bug treatments offer lasting results. Heat treatments are highly effective for bed bug infestations because of their inability to live in high temperatures. These bugs are unable to survive if their body temperature reaches 113 degrees Fahrenheit, and our treatment can go as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
The duration of the bed bug heat treatment session depends on the size of the infestation and the temperature that's applied. When bed bugs are exposed to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, they'll die within 90 minutes. If the temperature is increased to 118 degrees Fahrenheit, they will die in as little as 20 minutes.
Bed bug heat treatments are also highly effective because it eliminates bed bugs regardless of the life stage they're in. Once the heat is applied, it doesn’t leave behind any residue. And because this solution doesn't contain any chemicals, it’s also environmentally friendly. Over time, bed bugs have built up a resistance to certain chemical treatments, which can make them less effective. In comparison, heat treatments are always effective.
No matter which treatment we use in your situation, we make follow-up visits to ensure the bed bugs have been fully eradicated. If you have any questions about our solutions and how we apply them, don't hesitate to ask.
