Bed Bug Removal in Plant City, FL

This is the first question we always get asked: are bed bugs in Plant City a danger?

The good news is that, no, bed bugs are not a dangerous species in terms of carrying illness. They will not infect you with a virus or a condition that makes you feel ill. They will, though, leave you with continuous bite marks that are painful, annoying, and easily infected or irritated. As such, you need to pay close attention to bed bug bites, as if they become inflamed or infected, they might need medical care.

Generally, though, bed bugs are not something that you need to worry about making you ill. They can be a danger to your health, though, by reducing the quality of sleep you get. That is a danger, as low sleep quality can lead to fatigue and problems elsewhere.

As such, to avoid this problem, you should get rid of bed bugs in Plant City as soon as they appear.

We understand that it can feel like bed bugs are specifically targeting your home. Does this mean your house is dirty? No. It simply means that bed bugs have found a way in. They are a hardy, crafty, and invasive species that can quickly build up their numbers from a small starting population.

Bed bugs are naturally drawn to Plant City for various reasons. For one, the weather here is incredible. The people of Plant City benefit from a near-tropical climate, with just about every month providing a mean temperature of 64F and above. This is perfect for bed bugs. Throw in those humid and hot winters and the mild winters, and there are few better places for a bed bug to thrive than Plant City.

The weather is perfect, but so are the economic conditions. Many people in Plant City work jobs that require them to commute often to other parts of the state or the USA. Travel is one of the most effective ways for bed bugs to travel between properties. As such, many people inadvertently bring bed bugs back with them from a business trip or when traveling around the country.

Sadly, the conditions for bed bugs in Plant City are almost perfect. This is why you need to take action as soon as you discover bed bugs.

With an average property value of around $183,751, Plant City is a place with property worth protecting. The average rental rate is around $2,700 per month, too; if you own property that you rent out, having bed bugs can damage your reputation. The same goes for business owners: customers or guests finding bed bugs are not likely to want to use your business if they find bed bugs crawling around!

No, the good news with bed bugs is that they are not interested in eating your property. They do not even eat the fibers of your bedding, clothing, furniture, etc.

Instead, bed bugs want one thing: your blood. This means that while they will not chew through your floorboards or weaken your foundations, they will persistently drain your blood. The property damage that a bed bug causes is to your own body. This makes removing them a priority for sure!

No, unfortunately not. Bed bugs are not the kind of pest that moves on to bother someone else. Why? Because our properties give them access to what they need: a steady blood supply. They are not here to eat our wood or anything else; they are here to suck blood. The bed bugs have no reason to move on if people are present. This is why we need to take action to kill off bed bugs, or they will stick around.

Are you thinking of trying to starve out the bed bugs? You are out of luck. A single bed bug can create hundreds of eggs in its lifespan and can go up to around 100 days without eating. So, this would mean finding a way to starve each bed bug for several months. Waiting out a bed bug infestation is not likely to work, unfortunately.

We never recommend that you look to fight off bed bugs in Plant City with chemical treatment. We believe this is one of the least effective methods you can employ for killing off bed bugs. On top of that, chemical treatments use damaging chemicals that are not good for the environment and come with the lingering risk of the need for fumigation.

Most importantly, though, chemical treatment for bed bugs in Plant City is ineffective. It often requires multiple applications, meaning numerous times having to leave your home or shut down your business. It also rarely kills off a whole infestation; given the survivability of bed bugs, they can easily avoid chemicals until they have dissipated. This means chemical treatments often provide short-term results with the long-term likelihood of the infestation returning.

Again, we do not recommend this. Most store-bought or simple DIY solutions are ineffective. They might limit the numbers and ‘thin the herd’ for now, but bed bugs breed at such a rate that they will return. Most treatments only kill the surface layer of the infestation; you need something stronger.

We also do not recommend renting a heat treatment for bed bugs in Plant City. These are often ineffective and weak, not providing the level of lethality we need from heat treatments for bed bugs. We recommend that you hire our team to deliver Heat Assault to ensure that an effective, proven solution that is strong enough to overcome the bed bugs’ resistance to heat is used.

If so, then you should contact us today to arrange an investigation. We will evaluate your property as soon as we get started to ensure we bring enough Heat Assault to do the job efficiently. Once we get to work, you can look forward to rapid results that leave you without worrying about bed bugs for a long time.
