Frequently asked bed bug control questions

What signs do I need to look for when I think I have bed bugs?

Bed bugs are sneaky. You may never actually see them, but if they are present, you may see such tell-tale signs as specks of blood on your sheets or pajamas, fecal matter that looks like tiny rust spots on your mattress or sheets, and waking up to itchy raised red welts on exposed skin. If you see any of these signs and need bed bug removal, schedule a FREE bed bug inspection.

What does Terminix bed bug removal cost?

The cost of bed bug removal from your home varies depending on the severity of your problem and numerous other factors. The best way to determine the cost of bed bug removal is to schedule a free inspection. Your Terminix technician will provide an estimate after the inspection. With a bed bug treatment program from Terminix, we will come back to your home free of charge if the bed bugs return within 6 months.¹

How big are bed bugs?

Adult bed bugs can be 1 to 7 millimeters long, which is big enough to see with the naked eye. However, bed bugs are experts at hiding, so you might never actually see one. These tiny pests tend to hide inside crevices in your mattress or furniture, emerging only when you or your pets are still long enough for them to feed on your blood.

What do bed bugs eat?

Bed bugs are parasitic. They suck human blood. They will suck the blood of warm-blooded animals, too, but humans are easier because bed bugs are adapted to feeding on humans. One interesting (and slightly disturbing) fact about bed bugs is that they can live for months without eating. This makes bed bug control a little trickier than controlling pests that will die sooner without a source of sustenance.

How does Terminix treat bed bugs?

After your free home inspection, your Terminix pest professional will confirm with you where the bed bugs are located. We will offer you a customized treatment plan that takes into account various factors unique to your bed bug problem. Because every infestation is different, the recommended treatments may vary, but will be tailored to best attack your bed bug problem. These treatment options may include the use of heat, steam, vacuuming, trapping monitors, or a non-toxic solution to rapidly freeze the bed bugs.

Does Terminix offer a warranty on bed bug treatment?

Our Nix Pest Guarantee promises that we will come back to treat your bed bug problem for free if they return within 6 months of the first bed bug treatment.

Do bed bugs transmit disease-causing pathogens?

While bed bugs aren't known to transmit disease-causing pathogens, their bites may be irritating and can even cause an allergic reaction. That's where the chances for harm come in. Excessive scratching may irritate and damage the skin, which can present a risk of infection. Not to mention the psychological tolls on those with an infestation, such as anxiety, stress or even insomnia.

How fast does bed bug control work?

Our bed bug control solutions begin working immediately though you may still see bed bugs for a short period of time after the treatment. After the bed bug treatment, we will follow up to inspect again to ensure that the bed bugs are gone.

Can bed bugs return after treatment?

It is possible for bed bugs to return after treatment since they can enter your home at any time by being carried in on clothing, luggage or furniture, or from neighboring properties in multi-unit dwellings. However, if bed bugs return within 6 months from the point of your initial treatment, Terminix will retreat – at no additional cost to you1. Schedule your free bed bug inspection with Terminix today.

¹If you see evidence of bed bugs in your home within 6 months of your initial treatment date, Terminix will perform an inspection and provide any necessary treatment at no extra cost. 6-month guarantee only available for single-family dwelling units. Limitations apply. See Plan for details.
