Once a bedbug is inadvertently brought into a home they begin to reproduce rapidly. By the time most people realize they have a problem there are 100s of bedbugs living in the crack and crevices of your bed. As they reproduce they quickly run out of room and will start to seek out other areas of the home where people are sleeping or spending time in.

Bedbugs are great explorers and search out a host to feed on using their ability to detect a persons carbon dioxide output when you exhale. Bedbugs can be hard to detect if you don’t know exactly what all signs to look for. Things such as skin that has shedded during their growth cycle might be the only evidence you find. The bedbug will cast its skin and move to another hiding spot deeper in the mattress or bed frame.

Bedbug Control Treatment

Bedbugs essentially were eradicated from the united states for many years and when they reappeared pest management professionals had to re-learn and find better ways to control them.

Heat treatments have been one of the most talked about services to eliminate bedbugs however, that treatment is seldom the best course of action. VexGuard only recommends a heat treatment if the home has an abundance of clutter/things in the home. (Example being the home of a hoarder) When not used in the perfect situation, the heat treatment will simply chase bedbugs from one area of the home to another. Also a few of the bedbugs are likely to find areas that simply do not reach the needed temperatures and will not provide effective bedbug control.

VexGuard uses an organized approach, utilizing years of experience and proper products to eliminate bedbugs from your home. Typically more that one pesticide formulation and mode of action is required. Liquid, dusts and physical methods are needed to fully eliminate every bedbug within the home. Proper use of each product is a must or they will not work effectively in bedbug control.



Here at VexGuard we will perform a thorough inspection and initial treatment providing you with effective effective BedBug Control. After the first service we conduct a follow up inspection and treatment when necessary. After the second bedbug inspection and treatment your warranty period will start.

Prior to the treatment there is a bedbug preparation guideline we provide to the customer that you must complete before we can begin our treatment. If you are not able to do the prep work for the treatment we do offer a service to do this for you. When you speak to your technician make sure you ask about prep services if you think its something you are not able to do.
