Certified Bed Bug Control in South Kensington, MD

A technician looks for live insects, casings, or fecal spotting on seams before confirming — bites alone aren't reliable proof.

It depends on infestation size and layout — heat reaches wall voids and furniture in one session, while chemical treatment suits smaller, localized cases.

Some smaller cases clear in two visits, but we build in the recheck regardless since bed bugs are notoriously persistent.

Usually not — encasement traps remaining bugs and prevents new ones from nesting, so replacement is rarely necessary.

That's why we recommend inspecting adjoining units in multi-family buildings before treating just one apartment.

We'll send simple prep instructions — bagging laundry and clearing floor space — specific to whether it's heat or chemical treatment.
