My kid went to summer camp and now we have bed bugs. What do we do?

Bed bugs were not the summer memory you expected, but yep, they arrived home with your child from camp. What a nightmare!

It’s okay to be upset. Bed bugs invade the space where we feel most safe – our beds! They bite loved ones while they sleep, causing red, itchy welts.

We understand: You want them gone immediately.

You can do this on your own. Just follow these step-by-step instructions using low-impact products and methods from the bed bug experts at Pest HQ.

While it’s tempting to douse your home with insecticide that you bought at the big box store, doing this is potentially unsafe and could create an even bigger bed bug problem.

The Pest HQ regimen, in contrast, focuses on inspection, identifying the signs of bed bug activity, and using the best methods of bed bug control, including the vacuum, washer/dryer, and mattress encasements.

Bed bug traps and lures are used to prevent the pests from reaching the bed and to help you monitor the success of your control efforts. Diatomaceous Earth (DE), a naturally occurring material, and aerosol bed bug killer sprays approved by Health Canada help knock down the bed bug population.

These items are available in a money saving bundle that ships fast.
