Our San Francisco exterminators utilize a unique in-home pest inspection process. Since the pest is a bed bug, our exterminators begin their search in the host’s bedroom. The bed frame is fully inspected, followed by the mattress, box springs, linen, and pillows. If the home is infested with bed bugs, the signs will appear early in the infestation.
Bed bugs develop a schedule depending on their hosts’. For example, a host who works at night and sleeps during the day, the bed bugs will sleep at night and feed during the day. This is a very common behavior among these insects.
Once the exterminators determine the home is infested, they will move on to the next step of the inspection. This step is to determine the severity of the infestation. This is possible by locating the nests, which is an extremely difficult process. Fortunately, our exterminators are familiar with the most common bed bug hiding places. With this information in hand, the exterminators are able to locate the nests, which include the following:
- Mattress
- Boxspring
- Floorboard
- Baseboard
- Bed frame
- Carpet
- Electrical outlets
- Loose wallpaper
- Hanging wall art
- Bed linen
