 Whether you are a homeowner,
renter, or own a hotel, motel, or condominium,
you have probably heard or read about Bed Bugs on the news,
in the paper, and on the radio. Everybody?s talking about them and
it seems like they are everywhere. But how do you know if you have
them? If you do have them, what do you do next?
The
answer to both of these questions if you live in Volusia or Flagler
County is to call Bug*Master, Inc. at 386-253-9600.
 If you or
any of your family members have traveled within the last few months,
or have had guests stay at your home recently and have noticed bugs
crawling on you at night in bed or on your couch. Often people will
notice sores appearing on their bodies without explanation, or small
red dots (actually blood stains) on their bed sheets. The
bugs themselves are usually visible along the edges of the mattress
or box springs (adults are about the size of a tick).
 Our
technicians and sales staff have been thoroughly trained to identify
and eliminate Bed Bugs quickly and effectively. We can treat one
room, or if necessary, the whole house. We also install bedding
encasements so you don?t have to throw away your valuable box
springs and mattresses. Treatment for an average size house usually
takes less than one day so you can get back to living your life and
loving your home. In the most severe cases, we can even tent
fumigate your home.
How can you get Bed Bugs in your home?
Bed Bugs are typically brought into your house, and anybody can get them. Cleanliness is neither an
issue, nor a contributing factor. This can happen several ways.
Just a few examples are:
-
By a member of your household
spending the night at a hotel that has them.
-
By a member of your household
spending the night at a motel that has them.
-
By a member of your household
spending the night at a resort that has them.
-
By a member of your household
simply spending the night at a friend?s house that has
them.
-
Also, they are frequently
brought in by a guest staying with you (who unknowingly
picked them up somewhere else).
-
Bed Bugs crawl on and hide in
clothing, stored items, in suitcases, pretty much anything,
usually at night while you are asleep.
Regardless of how they got in, it is
most important to know that:
-
Bed Bugs are one of - if not the - most
difficult infestations to eliminate.
-
Regular pest
control service for roaches, ants, etc. will not get rid of
them.
-
Bed Bugs are not covered
under most routine pest control contracts (or ?service agreements?).
-
It takes special training and materials to
eliminate Bed Bugs, and the team here at Bug*Master, Inc. is ready to help solve your problem!
