You can, as long as you’re trained to spot them. It’s important to note that common bed bugs are 6-legged flat oval-shaped bugs measuring up to 7mm. In other words, saying that they’re small is an understatement. However, baby bed bugs (nymphs) are so absurdly tiny and almost transparent, that they’re extremely difficult to spot, to say the least.

In other words, the answer to this question is that bed bugs are in general extremely small and can sometimes be seen, but only if you know how to recognize them. In addition to that, since bed bugs are mostly active at night, seeing them in the dark becomes an even more difficult task.

So how do we spot them? Well, we use a different and more reliable approach. Like true bed bug detectives, we know that while bed bugs may be difficult to see, they are easier to smell. In fact, our professional bed bug patrol is a team of highly skilled bed bug detection and extermination experts that will quickly recognize different signs of a bed bug infestation if there is one.

Given that this particular smell is an important sign of their existence and that they can’t hide it from dogs, we sometimes use K9 bed bug agents to run a 100% accurate diagnosis.

In a nutshell, when it comes to investigating, detecting, diagnosing, and putting a definitive end to a bed bug infestation, our track record is second to none.

While it’s not the most likely scenario, it is technically possible for bed bugs to make you sick.

Considering that they are parasites that feed on human blood, people who are anemic could be particularly affected by bed bugs, and children (especially children with anemia) could be more severely impacted by their bites.

However, while they do bite and feed on human blood as mosquitos do, unlike mosquitos, bed bugs can’t fly and easily propagate diseases, which makes them unlikely sources of human-to-human disease contagion.

Absolutely. Our bed bug treatment is designed to exterminate bed bugs completely and irreversibly.

Whether we’re dealing with baby bed bugs, adult bed bugs and/or eggs, our approach is designed to end all bed bugs at your place in any stage of their lifecycle.

Ultimately, one of the goals of our bed bug treatment is to also kill the reproduction cycle of bed bugs to ensure that even minuscule and practically invisible eggs won’t survive.

That’s how we make sure that the infested area will be left perfectly clean and free from bed bugs.

Absolutely. Due to their nature, the way they operate, and the number of people that go in and out every day (staff and visitors), both Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) and Nursing Homes are particularly prone to bed bug infestations. 

If you run one of these facilities, you’ll like to know that we offer swift, effective, safe, and non-toxic bed bug extermination services that will allow your facility to operate normally without affecting your patients in any way.

We have a very solid track record of bed bug extermination success stories in ALFs and Nursing Homes that we’re able to keep running normally while we helped them get rid of bed bugs. Call us today for a free assessment visit! 

If your skin is showing small red dots on the neck, face, hands, shoulders, arms, or legs, then you may be dealing with a bed bug infestation. Typically, they bite these parts of the human body and their bites may also cause a small yet visible irritation around the bitten area.

Along with bloodstains on your bedsheets, this is the most typical sign indicating that you’re dealing with bed bug bites.

If you or any family member are feeling like you may be experiencing bed bug bites but you’re still not too worried about it, keep in mind that this is a situation that will only escalate until it becomes impossible to withstand. That’s when a bed bug extermination intervention becomes inevitable but also expensive and demanding.

Don’t let that situation evolve by leaving it unattended. Call us today to get a free quote and see how affordable it is for you to have this infestation controlled way before it gets out of hand.

While minuscule and difficult to see, bed bugs, bed bug eggs, and bed bug fecal matter are visible signs that indicate that they are around. Our experts know how to spot them and will at times also assess whether a bed bug problem exists through smell—bed bugs leave a certain smell that indicates their presence.

Bed bugs are 6-legged flat oval-shaped bugs measuring up to 7mm. Yes, they’re extremely small and bed bug eggs are only 0.1” long and whitish in color, which makes them even harder to see them. However, it’s possible to detect them and even more so if you focus on finding their fecal matter stains and marks—which are almost exclusively composed of the blood they feed on. This is very noticeable.

Hint: if you start seeing what appear to be mold spots on your bedsheets, rub them with a white cloth and, if they turn red, you’ll know that you’re dealing with bed bug feces.

Too easily. Think about it: when you see a bed bug, you are actually seeing one of thousands of bed bugs that are likely around.

One thing that you need to know about bed bugs is that they propagate quickly and easily. While they may start slowly in the first or second month of infestation, it is in the third month that things will get out of control and that adult bed bugs will start finding other places in your house to expand to.

That’s why you don’t want to wait until the situation is already so widespread that a more dramatic intervention is required.

Instead of waiting 6 months to allow bed bug colonies to completely settle in your home and grow into the hundreds of thousands, if you call us as soon as you suspect that you have a bed bug problem, we’ll be able to completely solve it before it becomes more complicated and expensive to deal with.

Please keep in mind that we offer free quotes and assessments so that you feel completely free and encouraged to find out if there’s a bed bug problem that you should worry about and how much it will cost you to get rid of it. Trust us: you’ll be surprised with how affordable and effective it is! Call us today!

You’ll see instant and very noticeable results after the first visit from one of our bed bug experts. However, one treatment may not be sufficient to completely remove them, depending on how serious the situation is. If that’s the case it may take us one or two more treatments to make sure all bed bugs are completely gone.

If you’re worried about the price and the possible large extension of the problem, you should know that we offer extremely effective, knowledgeable, and affordable bed bug treatment services.

Please get in touch with us today and one of our experts will offer you a free assessment of the problem with a quote that allows you to make an informed decision about how to proceed.

If you’re considering DIY anti-bed bug treatments, it’s important to highlight that these frequently fail and actually lead to a larger infestation due to not being adequately controlled. Bed bugs are extremely resilient and tiny, and they hide easily, which means that being 100% sure that you no longer have them around is challenging, to say the least.

That’s why you’ll want to rely on our tried and tested bed bug treatment tactics that work 100% of the time. We offer post-treatment assessments that allow us to determine whether the problem is solved, and our clients often tell us that they no longer feel the presence of bed bugs after 6 to 8 weeks of our intervention.

In addition to that, at Bed Bug Exterminator LA King, we’re devoted to customer satisfaction, which is why we offer a warranty that essentially translates into a bed bug problem that’s always completely solved, no matter what.

The typical price for bed bug treatment is in the $250 and up range—fundamentally, the price will vary according to how severe and widespread the bed bug infestation you’re struggling with is.

You see, a bed bug treatment is only truly effective if it leads to the COMPLETE extermination of all bed bugs that are part of the infestation. That’s where the costs can significantly vary—because some infestations may be smaller and easier to target and treat than larger and more widespread bed bug issues.

That’s why we take no chances when we’re dealing with bed bugs. Everything starts with an on-site inspection of the place affected by bed bugs in order to determine the dimension and specifications of the infestation that we’re dealing with.

Based on that assessment, we offer you a free bed bug treatment diagnosis and quote that allows you to make an informed decision about how you can proceed.

You should also know that a chemical treatment intervention is more affordable than a heat/steam bed bug extermination operation. Both are safe and effective but a complex infestation may require steam treatment, which is a more expensive and extensive approach.

Be as it may, our highly skilled bed bug exterminators will be happy to offer you a no-strings-attached quote and explanation of the problem and approach that we can use to solve it.

While this is an extremely important point to cover as part of a comprehensive bed bug treatment, many pest control companies tend to overlook it. The good news is: we don’t.

You see, having bed bugs in your car is a serious issue. There’s no point in treating your house and successfully exterminating bed bugs there if they will be left unaddressed in your car. That’s a sure way to have a new bed bug problem at home in a few months since any treatment is only as effective as the scope of its application.

That’s why, when we initiate our bed bug treatment process for your house, we’ll also extend it to your care because we want to eliminate every possible infestation and source of bed bug resurgence. 

There’s no reason to feel guilty about having a bed bug problem. Bed bugs are close to invisible and very skilled parasitic short travelers that will easily jump into your clothes in the most unexpected way possible. No matter how clean your home or clothes are, bed bugs can still find their way into your home, closet, and bed—and they can easily stay there, breed, and propagate beyond control.

Your visiting parents or your children coming home after school could unwittingly bring bed bugs into your home. In fact, after shopping around at the mall, or after a business meeting, or even after a taxi drive, you can also be the carrier of bed bugs without even remotely thinking about it.

The truth is that there’s no perfect way of making sure you won’t get bed bugs. There’s only a perfect way of making sure you’ll get rid of them in case they come into your life: by relying on one of our experienced bed bug exterminators to put an end to any bed bug infestation, no matter where it came from!  

That depends on how early the infestation is detected. If the bed bug problem that you’re dealing with is its inception stage, then treating only the infested room and one or two other areas around could solve the problem.

However, if the bed bug problem has—even if discretely—spiraled out of control, then in some extreme cases treating the whole house may be required. After all, you definitely don’t want to see a temporary bed bug relief that will result in an even more serious bed bug resurgence a few months later.

In any case, there’s nothing like having a bed bug expert taking a surgical look at the bed bug problem you’re dealing with and giving you a quote—free of charge and with no strings attached. Call us today to schedule a visit!

While it’s common for people to experiment with cheap DIY products and tactics recommended online to treat bed bug infestations, the truth is that these never work, which makes become more expensive. Why? Because whatever small amount you spend on your DIY approaches will be lost since it won’t make any difference and because the infestation may actually become wider and more serious due to not being professionally treated early enough—which will make the professional treatment that you eventually order more expensive because it will need to be more extensive as well.

While in severe infestation situations bed bugs could take a few days to completely die off, typically the fast same-day service that we offer will lead to a 100% effective outcome.

Sometimes, people will even avoid calling bed bug exterminator services like ours because they’re embarrassed to say that they have a bed bug infestation.

The truth is that the presence of bed bugs has nothing to do with keeping your house clean. Bed bugs are a whole different problem that has nothing to do with being unclean, as most people think.

Actually, the main reason why bed bug infestations are on the rise in the U.S. is that people today travel a lot more than they did years ago, which helps to propagate bed bugs since they find their way into backpacks, travel bags, clothes, and other items that make it easy for them to spread.

Here are a few facts about bed bugs:

• They are extremely small, which makes it very difficult to see them 
• They easily hide almost anywhere and can survive without food for 6-12 months
• One pregnant female bed bug may quickly generate thousands of other adults, nymphs, and eggs—which will keep reproducing and reinforcing the growing cycle
• Internet tips and DIY treatments for bed bug extermination are always ineffective—as people try them out and they prove to be ineffective, the bed bug infestation keeps growing and becoming even harder to solve 

The combination of these facts makes bed bugs extremely resilient, easy to propagate, and difficult to detect and exterminate. However, our skilled bed bug extermination experts will always know how to determine when there’s an infestation and will effectively solve it through a skilled and targeted approach that is sure to work.

Our bed bug treatment comes with a warranty. Since we know that, no matter how hard we try, in some cases, some bed bugs may survive even the most exhaustive treatment, we’re prepared to visit your place again and use our treatment to complete the extermination process.

Curiously, while bed bugs, in general, are extremely tiny, male bed bugs are even smaller than females.  

When they’re nymphs (baby bed bugs), they’re almost transparent, but they’ll become reddish after feeding on human blood. As their digestion unfolds, their color will change from reddish to brownish, until they will finally look black.

All bed bugs, male or female, adults or nymphs, are flat and oval-shaped, and their whitish eggs are almost impossible to see.

Since bed bug marks on your bed sheet and linen may resemble flea bites, you’ll definitely want to trust the examination of a skilled bed bug extermination expert to determine whether you have a bed bug infestation you should put an end to or if you’re dealing with another type of problem.

Our free assessment comes with no strings attached, so please call us today to know how we can help!

If you go online and search for answers to this question, you’ll see a lot of articles about the perfect solution against bed bugs. Still, while these articles may work as clickbait to drive traffic to these websites, the truth is that they won’t really help you.

You see, each bed bug infestation is a specific problem that requires a targeted approach. While there are many treatment methods, some are more effective in some cases than others, and, often, some situations will require a combination of different treatments to achieve a complete bed bug extermination outcome.

That’s why you may end up wasting time and money if you use a heat treatment against bed bugs in your house—in many houses, this will not work. The heat may push bed bugs away but they’ll move to other parts of the house without actually disappearing.

On the other hand, you’ll also see DIY essential oil treatments recommended online, or over the counter sprays that are said to work against bed bugs. In fact, it’s very likely that you tried these approaches already only to see that they didn’t work.

So why take chances? Contact us today to have an actual bed bug expert visiting your place and offering a free assessment and quote that will set you free from bed bug headaches.

The number one reason why bed bugs are on the rise in the U.S. and in many countries of the world is travel. Since bed bugs are travelers themselves, they will typically jump into your clothes or luggage when you travel—which frequently occurs when you stay in a hotel or other lodging facility where there is a bed bug infestation.

However, there are other surprising ways through which bed bugs can come into your home. Specifically, if you have a visitor who is dealing with a bed bug infestation, that person may unknowingly be the carrier of the problem. If you visit a hospital or nursing home, for example, you may also bring bed bugs home if you entered an infested area.

Also, a shopping mall visited by many people every day can also be a powerful source of bed bugs—and even more so clothing shops where people try different clothes, potentially leaving bed bugs attached to them.

Since bed bugs feed on blood, they are more likely to be concentrated in urban areas where there are a lot more people that can be the hosts that they feed on.

In houses, bed bugs can hide anywhere, from picture frames to mattresses. In public transportation, they can hide in the car seat of the Uber that picks you up, or in the bus, train, or plane seat where you travel. They can also hide in a movie theater seat or in an office chair. In other words, the potential for bed bugs to suddenly become a serious problem in your life is tremendous—which is why you’ll want to rely on our experienced bed bug exterminators to deal with any bed bug issue that may arise.
