If you are having a hard time with bed bugs in Meadow Woods, then you are not alone. At BBE, we frequently receive calls from concerned home and business owners in the area. Given the commonality of bed bugs in the city, it should come as no surprise that you might end up having a problem with bed bugs. Bed bugs are believed to impact around 20% of Florida’s population at one stage in their lives.
This means that, in Meadow Woods, you could find bed bugs have impacted as many as 8,000 people – or more. The sheer number of bed bugs that you can find varies, too, depending on the scale of infestation. One thing is for sure, though: at BBE, our mantra is that there are too many one-bed bugs. So, we look to resolve any bed bugs that arrive by offering our clients immediate access to inspections and treatment options.
The most effective form of treatment that we use for bed bugs in Meadow Woods is heat treatment. Having been proven to be the best way to get rid of bed bugs, heat treatment is our go-to choice of attack. Not only do we know that heat treatment wipes out bed bugs in significant numbers, but we know the results last. In fact, when you hire BBE, you get a bed bug heat treatment that guarantees 60+ days of peace.
If you are sick of waking up in the middle of the night with bed bug bites, contact us for help. We can give you all of the information you need to overcome this problem and sleep happily again!
As mentioned, we use heat treatment for all bed bugs that we encounter in the Meadow Woods. We start every visit with an inspection to make sure you actually do have bed bugs. After all, it is easy to mistake one kind of pest for another. Once we verify you have bed bugs, we will introduce you to our heat treatment plan. This includes the use of Heat Assault, the leading form of heat treatment in the country today.
Why do we use heat treatment? There are many reasons. The first is that heat treatment is proven to be incredibly powerful. Bed bugs love Florida and Meadow Woods because of the heat and humidity. This part of the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metropolitan area is always the beneficiary of that classic Floridian heat. However, while heat attracts bed bugs, it can also be one of the most effective ways to wipe them out.
Put simply, bed bugs love to heat up to a point. After you reach temperatures of around 150F, though, this can be too much. So, by using Heat Assault, we spike the temperature of your property as high as is safe. This makes sure that bed bugs are killed off in significant numbers, often killing off the whole colony in one visit. Not only does this get rid of the problem, but the residual heat wards off other bed bugs from arriving. Again, they love heat, but too much of it is a killer. We use that against them to limit their return.
Heat treatment for bed bugs in Meadow Woods also avoids the use of nasty chemicals and gets through to all of the bed bugs. Other treatments impact those brave enough to leave the colony or only hurt adults. We make sure that we use a heat treatment for bed bugs in Meadow Woods that kills off any bed bug in the building. This gives you the certainty and peace of mind that the problem is gone for 60+ days.
First, you have likely tried to take care of a bed bug problem on your own. For that, we commend you. However, let us be clear that any DIY treatment you provide is not going to be wholly effective. Sure, you might kill off the bed bugs that you can see around the property. You might even feel like it stops or reduces their number—but only for now. What you need is a professional solution that lasts.
Most DIY solutions kill off some bed bugs but not the whole colony. They soon return when the young ones hatch and start the process anew. By hiring BBE, though, you get a solution for bed bugs in Meadow Woods that works. Hiring us gives you access to a service that provides:
• Complete peace of mind that the problem is over with for the long term
• Reliable support in making sure the bed bugs cannot return for 60+ days
• Prevention tips to help you further reduce the risk of more bed bugs appearing
• Active solutions that avoid the use of pesticides and other problematic solutions
• Rapid inspections of any Meadow Woods property to determine the scale of the infestation
• Treatment that begins ASAP, using Heat Assault to get the most consistent results
• Simple and effective treatment that minimizes the risk of any collateral damage
• Arrival in unmarked vehicles so nobody knows you have an issue with bed bugs
• Cost-effective treatment that we guarantee will get the job done for a fair price
• Professional delivery of solutions so you always feel comfortable during work
It is important to know that when you hire BBE, we come prepared. We spend our days dealing with bed bugs in Meadow Woods and nearby areas, so we know what to do when we find a bed bug infestation. To help you know what you get when you hire us, though, let us introduce you to our process. For years, we have used this methodology as we know it works well and gets the job done regardless of the area:
It really is this simple. And do not worry: this methodology works just as well in a single-family household as it does in a new-build property. We ensure that your property is protected, too, by removing anything that we fear might be damaged by the rising temperatures that our Heat Assault equipment will create.
We believe that our clients need to know what they are dealing with. When you think bed bugs are just a minor pest, it is easy to ignore them and let them run wild. When you realize the damage they can cause, though, it pays to have us around. To help you understand why we take bed bugs in Meadow Woods so seriously, here are some of the most important FAQs we receive from our clients prior to hiring us.
The first thing that you want to know before you do anything else is whether or not you have bed bugs. While we will investigate your property regardless, we ask that you look out for some of the obvious signs of bed bugs. Generally, clients can determine if they have bed bugs in the building by asking themselves the following questions:
• Am I being awoken at night or waking up with bite marks on my body?
• Are the bite marks swollen, itchy, inflamed, or in a zig-zap pattern?
• Have I found eggshells or dead skin around my baseboards and furniture?
• Is there a weird, musky smell in the air that I otherwise am unable to explain?
• Did I just find blood stains or dark brown spots – fecal matter – on my bedding?
• Can I physically see insects moving around my bed, especially when viewed at night?
We regret to inform you that spotting any of these signs is a pretty clear indication that you do, in fact, have bed bugs. If you notice one of these signs, it might be worth hiring a bed bug inspection from our team. If you answered yes to any more than one of the above questions, contact us immediately!
Bed bug commonality can be hard to determine, but there are two main reasons that we believe they are so common here. The first is, of course, the weather. As we discussed, heat and humidity are the ideal weather conditions for bed bugs. They thrive in such conditions and are thus likely to stick around. Bed bugs are drawn to this weather, which is why they feel so common across Florida.
However, the other main reason why bed bugs are so common here is the density of people. Bed bugs love being able to move from building to building. While the majority of properties in the area are going to be single-family properties, there is a growing number of apartment buildings. Bed bugs can easily spread from attached buildings; this is especially true for apartment buildings, hotels, and hospitals.
So, the main reason we see so many bed bugs in Meadow Woods is the perfect conditions. Their arrival is almost impossible to stop because the opportunities of high heat, high humidity, and high density are too good to pass up!
The good news is that bed bugs are not going to damage your property. They do not eat through your wood or your structure. They are not like, for example, termites or even ants. Instead, bed bugs do what they can to protect the structure. This is their home, after all, and they need to reside here to avoid the outdoor heat. They also do not want to move on because the structure gives them access to food: you!
Bed bugs will not move on because they make a colony in your building. So they are unlikely to cause structural damage. This is one of the very few positives about bed bugs in Meadow Woods: they do not leave you with a repair bill.
Being bitten is painful and often debilitating. Being awoken in the middle of the night because a bed bug has bitten you is not nice. This can begin to have an impact on your well-being and your mood. We all know that the value of a good night’s sleep is not to be ignored. As such, bed bug bites can become an issue because they stop you from sleeping as well as you should. They will not, though, make you ill.
Bed bug bites do not carry pathogens or illness, unlike ticks or other typical pests found in Florida. They will, though, drain you of your blood, your energy, and your confidence in getting a good sleep at night.
Many of our clients call us looking for an inspection, determined that they can handle the problem on their own. They often rely on over-the-counter solutions bought in-store or online. They can also try out some kind of prevention tip they find online. Others have invested in chemicals they are going to use. We just want to be clear, though, that killing off a bed bug colony without professional help is almost impossible.
Unless you so happen to find the first and only bed bug in your building, the colony will grow faster than you can kill them.
Infestations can start small and soon explode into huge numbers of bed bugs. Many people contact us because they have found a few bed bugs. In the short space of time it takes us to arrive, more could have appeared. We have even heard horror stories of bed bug infestations in Florida that have seen thousands of bed bugs contained in one room, never mind a building.
Our solution is simple: if you see one-bed bug, you have more than you might want to think about. As soon as you spot the signs of even a single bed bug, call us: One bug in Meadow Woods is too many!
As we explained above, the viability of chemical treatment for bed bugs in Meadow Woods is contested. Once the best way to handle an infestation, bed bug treatments using chemicals are far less useful now. Not only are many of the Meadow Woods bed bug species resistant to pesticides, but the treatments do not kill off all the bugs. They usually kill off adults or those who come into contact with the chemicals.
The young bed bugs in Meadow Woods have yet to hatch, though they survive. This means that the problem simply starts all over again. Chemicals are environmentally damaging and often need to be administered multiple times. We want to avoid that as best we can, so we recommend using heat treatment. This gives you guaranteed results for 60+ days and almost always sees treatment finished in one visit, not many.
No, if bed bugs have invaded your building, you do not have to remove any furniture they invaded. Simply having the furniture cleaned will be enough to ensure that it is back to normal. We often recommend that you hire a professional upholstery cleaning service, though, for the best results.
If you worry that you have bed bugs in Meadow Woods, then there is no harm in calling BBE today. Our team can carry out a thorough inspection of your property and look for the telltale signs that you have bed bugs. Once we confirm their presence, we can arrange a treatment plan with you that begins ASAP. Since we bring all of our heat treatment equipment, you really only need to call us to begin the process.
Why wait? Every night you allow bed bugs to live rent-free in your building, the more numerous they are. More bed bugs will be born, and the problem will never cease. It will continue to get worse, and more bed bugs will continue to emerge. You will never get back to enjoying a nice night of sleep again.
