Bed Bug Inspections for Rental Property
Bed bugs were common globally until the early 1940s when they were mostly eradicated due to the use of DDT. Bedbugs returned when DDT was banned in 1972 and infestation of human habitats has increased since 1995, due to resistance to approved pesticides, increased international travel, high population density, and other factors.

Apartments / Property Managers
Bed bugs spread easily and quickly, arriving in rental properties via tenants’ (or guests’) clothing, furniture, or vehicles. Once they’ve made their home in one rental unit, bed bugs in a multiunit building can spread from unit to unit, making it extremely difficult for pest control experts to completely remove them. Because infestations are so hard to prevent and control, bed bugs are a major problem for both landlords and tenants.
If you would like us inspect and certify you don't have bed bugs or if you suspect the presence of bed bugs in a unit give us a call immediately for our bed bug detection services before they spread to other units and tenants. -

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and are easily spread by moving beds, furniture, luggage, or clothing from one location to another. Here are some helpful tips to keep from getting bed bugs:
- Do not bring discarded bed frames, mattresses, box springs, or upholstered furniture into the home.
- Carefully inspect used or rented furniture prior to bringing it into the home.
- Wash and dry all clothing thoroughly after returning home from traveling.
- Caulk and seal any cracks and crevices throughout the home, especially in rooms where people sleep.
- Be careful of who stays overnight or sleeps at the house.
