Stop Bed Bugs With Targeted Treatment
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers that can spread quickly through homes, apartments and hotels by hiding in luggage, furniture, clothing, and other personal belongings. These parasitic insects are small and nocturnal, often rapidly multiplying before you even know they’re there.
Bed bugs are the one souvenir you never want to bring home from a trip. But if you do, we’re here to help. Our detailed inspection can confirm whether bed bugs are present and customize a treatment plan to target active infestation and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Types of Bed Bug Treatment
Pesticides
Pesticides are applied to affected areas, and monitoring devices are placed to detect any new activity. Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve complete control.
Fumigation
Seal the entire structure. Inject a fumigant to eradicate bedbugs throughout the entire structure.

Our Bed Bug Control Process
A bedbug inspection by Take Care Termite is a structured, detail-oriented process designed to confirm whether bedbugs are present, how widespread they are, and where they’re hiding.
Initial consultation
The technician will start by asking questions about what you’ve noticed—bites, blood spots on sheets, shed skins, or live insects. They may also ask about recent travel, used furniture, or prior infestations, since those are common sources.
Systematic visual inspection
This is the core of the visit. Bedbugs are excellent at hiding, so the technician will carefully check areas where they tend to live:
- Mattresses and box springs (especially seams, tufts, and tags)
- Bed frames and headboards
- Upholstered furniture like couches and chairs
- Baseboards, carpet edges, and cracks in walls
- Nightstands, dressers, and clutter near sleeping areas
- Behind picture frames, electrical outlets, and loose wallpaper
They’re looking for live bugs, tiny white eggs, shed skins, and dark fecal spots.
Assessment of infestation level
If bedbugs are found, the technician will determine:
- How severe the infestation is
- Which rooms or areas are affected
- How far the bugs may have spread
This helps guide the treatment plan.
Explanation and recommendations
After the inspection, you’ll get a clear explanation of the findings. If bedbugs are confirmed, we will outline treatment options (chemical treatments or fumigation) and explain preparation steps—like laundering fabrics, reducing clutter, or moving furniture.
What’s important to know:
- Inspections can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours depending on the size of the home.
- You usually don’t need to leave during the inspection.
Preparation is minimal for inspection (unlike treatment), but reducing clutter helps do a more thorough job.

How do I know if I have bed bugs or something else?
Having bed bugs can cause small, itchy red bite marks or welts that often appear in rows. While these bites can be uncomfortable and alarming, they are typically not dangerous. You may notice blood spots on sheets, dark or rust-colored stains on bedding, shed skins and even visible live bugs in mattress seams, bed frames and furniture. Because other pests and skin conditions can cause similar symptoms, A professional inspection is the best way to confirm bed bug infestation and to get the right treatment for your situation.
How did bed bugs get into my home?
Bed bugs are hitchhikers that can crawl onto luggage, clothing, purses, backpacks, secondhand furniture and other personal belongings. They can easily spread between adjoining units in apartments, condos, hotels, and other multi-unit buildings through walls, baseboards, plumbing lines and electrical outlets. A professional inspection is the best way to identify likely harborage areas and determine the most effective treatment strategy.
Do I need to throw away my mattress or furniture if I have bed bugs?
Not necessarily. In many cases, our licensed technicians can treat mattresses, bed frames, and furniture so they won’t need to be discarded or replaced. Throwing items away too soon can spread bed bugs if they are not handled with proper precautions. A professional inspection can help determine which items can be treated, what should be isolated and whether anything needs to be removed as part of the treatment process.
Will I need more than one treatment for bed bugs?
In many cases, yes. Effective bed bug control often requires a multi-pronged approach, dependent on the severity of the infestation and the extent of spread. Strategically timed treatments over weeks or months may be necessary to break the breeding cycle and fully eliminate bed bug activity. Our goal is to provide an effective long-term solution that targets the source and reduces the risk of recurrence.
