Every Proven Way to Get Rid of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs hide in seams, cracks and furniture, and they survive most store-bought sprays. These are the methods California pest control pros use, often combined in one plan.

Heat Treatment Rooms are heated to a level bed bugs and their eggs cannot survive. Often done in a single visit.

K9 Inspection A trained dog sniffs out live bugs and eggs, even in walls and furniture you cannot see into.

Chemical Treatment Targeted sprays and dusts in cracks, outlets and bed frames, usually over two or three visits.

Fumigation The whole structure is sealed and treated. Used for severe or widespread infestations.

Bed Bug Treatment for Homes and Apartments

Whether it is a single bedroom in Sacramento or a family home in San Diego, the process starts the same way: find out exactly where the bugs are, then treat every hiding spot at once.

Options With Fewer Chemicals

Worried about kids, pets or allergies? Many bed bug jobs can be handled mostly with heat, steam and cold, with little or no pesticide inside the bedroom.

Heat: Kills every life stage, eggs included, without leaving residue.
Steam: High-temperature steam for mattresses, couches and seams.
Cryonite freeze: Carbon dioxide snow that freezes bugs on contact.
Encasements: Zippered mattress and box spring covers that trap any bugs left inside.

Ask the technician about prep for pets, fish tanks and medicines before any treatment.

Bed Bug Control for California Businesses

One complaint or online review about bed bugs can cost a property far more than a treatment. Commercial jobs are scheduled around guests and tenants, with discreet vehicles and reports you can keep on file.

Apartments and Property Managers

Unit inspections, treatment of neighboring units, and written findings you can share with tenants.

Hotels and Motels

Fast room turnover with heat or K9 checks, so a room is back in service quickly.

Healthcare, Schools and Offices

Senior living, clinics, dorms, shelters and offices. Treatment plans are built around people who cannot easily leave the building.

California Landlords: Know Your AB 551 Duties

California Civil Code 1954.600 to 1954.605 (AB 551) sets clear rules for bed bugs in rental housing. A professional inspection report helps you meet them.

Book a Unit Inspection

Give every tenant the bed bug notice. The written disclosure uses set wording in at least 10-point type.
Do not rent a unit you know is infested. You cannot show, rent or lease it until it is treated.
Share inspection findings within 2 business days. After a licensed pest control operator inspects, affected tenants must be told. Common-area findings go to all tenants.
Give proper notice before entry. Inspections and treatments follow the normal Civil Code 1954 entry rules.
No retaliation. Tenants who report bed bugs are protected under Civil Code 1942.5.

Signs You Have Bed Bugs

Adult bed bugs are flat, brown and about the size of an apple seed. Check mattress seams, the headboard and the edges of the box spring for:

Small rusty or dark spots on sheets and the mattress
Pale, empty shed skins and tiny white eggs
Itchy bites in a line or cluster, often on arms and shoulders
A sweet, musty smell in heavy infestations

Bed Bug Questions

Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?

Small, early cases can sometimes be handled with steam, laundry on high heat and encasements, but most store sprays do not reach eggs or hidden bugs. If you still see signs after two weeks, call a professional before the problem spreads to other rooms.

How long does bed bug treatment take?

Heat treatment is usually done in one day. Chemical treatment typically needs two or three visits about two weeks apart, because eggs hatch after the first visit.

Do I need to throw away my mattress?

Usually not. Most mattresses can be treated and then sealed in an encasement. Throwing furniture out without wrapping it can spread bugs to neighbors.

I rent in California. Who pays for treatment?

It depends on your lease and the situation. Under AB 551 your landlord must give you the bed bug notice and share inspection findings within 2 business days. Report bugs to your landlord in writing as soon as you see them.

Is Bed Bug Control CA the company that treats my home?

Yes. When you call or send the form, our team sets up an inspection at your address. Our licensed technicians give you a written quote and carry out the treatment you approve.
