How It Works
Initial Visit
Bed bug infestations are highly unique. Only with a thorough in-person assessment by a certified Orkin bed bug expert can you determine the extent and source of the problem. Your Orkin Pro will arrive at your scheduled time to perform a close-up inspection of the room where you’ve noticed the bed bugs – typically, this is the bedroom.
He’ll look closely at your mattresses, bedding, bed frame and other furniture, plus your curtains, picture frames, wall crevices and baseboards. Next, he’ll examine adjacent rooms and closets to track the spread of your infestation.
After the inspection, your Orkin Pro will develop your customized treatment plan and begin treatment that same day.
Treatments
Bed bug treatment is a multi-step process. Even professional bed bug specialists have little luck removing these pests during a single visit. The average Orkin customer will need 3-4 treatments.
Your Orkin specialist may use a number of techniques to treat for these pests, including traditional pesticide treatment and heat treatment. Your exact service will depend on your location and specific problem.
Follow Up and Ongoing Prevention
At your follow-up visits, your Orkin bed bug specialist will look for remaining bed bugs and apply treatment as needed. He’ll return until the visible signs of bed bugs are gone and you no longer experience the effects of their presence. Your Orkin specialist will also give you tips on the steps you can take to control your existing infestation and safeguard your home against future outbreaks.
