About Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs are becoming more and more prevalent in the media with infestations increasing throughout the country. It’s important for you to be aware of the implications an infestation can cause if they are transported into your home. Once bed bugs have entered your home, it’s not an easy task to remove them. They’re are about the length of the eraser on the end of a pencil (6-7mm long) with flattened bodies. In their adult stage, bed bugs are brown to orange in color with elongated beaks with which they use to take blood from their food source.They favor conditions with 75-80% relative humidity and temperatures around 80 degrees, although they can remain active in temperatures as low as 44 degrees. Bed bugs prefer to reside in warm, dark places…usually the cracks and crevices of your bed so they are near their food source. infestations happen quickly and can be difficult to control if not treated in the early stages.
Bed Bug Prevention
Because bed bugs travel well, they are easily transported into your home from other sites of infestation…such as hotel rooms, friends or relatives’ homes, college students’ dorm rooms or apartments, etc…by getting into your luggage and clothes. It’s also common to bring them into your home with used furniture or second-hand clothing. To avoid this:
- Inspect all luggage from traveling before bringing it into your home
- Wash all your clothes immediately before hanging them in your closets
- Leave any suitcases or bags in a garage, storage room, or other area that is not close to the rooms you and your family sleep in
- When traveling, check your bed before sleeping for signs of bed bugs
- When traveling, do not put your clothing or suitcases on the beds and keep luggage zipped when not in use
- Utilize the luggage stand most hotels provide to keep items away from floors & walls
- Inspect second hand furniture closely before bringing it into your home
What Our Customers Are Saying
"We have been using Northwest since we bought our home in 2012. Luke Johnston is our Rep and his service and professionalism are great. Ashley always calls to let me know of an upcoming appointment and she couldn't be more pleasant. Thank you for your continued great service. I am a happy customer."
"Thanks NW Exterminating!! I was very pleased with your service rep's kind attitude. Everything he did was clearly explained and taken care of in a timely manner. Mr Steven Hill called before showing up and even called at a later date to make sure everything had been taken care of. He was very professional and polite. That was about 4 weeks ago and I have not seen nor have had any problems with bugs so far. Whatever he/they used worked!! Thanks NW and Mr Hill!!"
"NW has been a great experience for my wife and I. They have been attentive to our pest control needs--primarily house ants! They kept coming out to make sure the problem was addressed to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family."
"We used Northwest Exterminating to help keep the mosquitoes down last year. Using them helped us enjoy our yard for the first time in years, and we could still have the plants and beautiful yard we love. They gave us notice before they came out, they left us helpful tips on how to help keep the bugs down and they always did what we asked. It was an amazing service. I would recommend them to anyone."
"I would not trust anyone other than Northwest Exterminating and Tim especially....If you have a problem he can fix it, I don't care what it is. He can diagnose what kind of bug or rodent without even seeing it in most cases. He's a genius. If you hate crawly, slimy, yucky, gross bugs and varmints and want them gone....GIVE NORTHWEST A CALL!!!!!!!"
"Our home service person is Chris Kuykendoll. He is very personable and friendly. Chris is also very professional and very good at his job. I have no more bug worries, knowing that Chris is always there if I need him to keep the pests away!"
" Great value, and feel like all the employees I work with are friendly and get things done right. Good communication always and feel like they respect your home and tread lightly. I'm on their quarterly plan and love that I can call them out anytime it's needed for a flat fee."
"Top notch professionals from office to field: they have excellent suggestions for control and even found places I did not know bugs were able to get in! What a team!"
"I have used Northwest for years. Love the focus on customer service. Great people working in the field. I would recommend their services to anyone!!"
