Some Background on Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are blood-feeding parasitic insects belonging to the Cimicidae family. The common bed bug, known as Cimex lectularius, is the most prevalent type and typically thrives on human blood, frequently feeding during nighttime hours. They tend to inhabit warm homes, particularly in close proximity to beds and bedding.

In addition to their elusive feeding behavior, bed bugs can lead to various health issues, such as skin rashes, allergic reactions, and psychological disturbances. Indicators that your residence may require bed bug treatment include the detection of sweet, musty odors and small clusters of oblong eggs.

In many Columbus homes and apartments, bed bugs are first discovered in bedrooms, but they can quickly travel to living rooms, offices, and shared laundry areas if they are not addressed promptly. Because they hide in cracks, seams, and even behind electrical plates, an early bed bug inspection can help limit how far they spread and reduces the amount of preparation and disruption required for treatment.

Common places where bed bugs may be found include:

• Mattresses and box springs: Along seams, tufts, and labels where they can stay hidden during the day.
• Bed frames and headboards: In screw holes, joints, and crevices close to where people sleep.
• Upholstered furniture: Inside cushions, along piping, and underneath couches and chairs.
• Baseboards and flooring: In gaps between trim and walls or in cracks in hardwood or laminate.
• Wall fixtures and outlets: Behind wall plates, picture frames, and loose wallpaper near sleeping areas.

How We Address Bed Bug Infestations

TORCO™ specializes in commercial pest control services, and we take pride in employing a diverse range of bed bug extermination methods. Our preferred approach involves utilizing a blend of EPA-approved pesticides and Aprehend® microbials that effectively eradicate these pests in as few as three treatments. We emphasize the significance of thorough preparation, with our technicians addressing all environmental considerations before commencing treatment on your property. Proper preparation is important.

When we design a plan for bed bug control Columbus property owners can rely on, we start by assessing the layout of the building, the level of activity in each room, and any sensitive areas like nurseries or medical equipment. This allows us to choose application methods, scheduling, and follow-up visits that fit your household or business routine while still giving the product the time it needs to work effectively.

Typical steps in our bed bug treatment process include:

• Initial inspection: We carefully examine sleeping areas, furniture, and likely hiding spots to confirm activity and gauge the extent of the infestation.
• Customized treatment plan: Based on what we find, we outline the products, methods, and number of visits recommended for your home or business.
• Preparation guidance: We review specific prep tasks, such as laundering fabrics or moving furniture, so treatment can reach key areas.
• Targeted applications: Our team applies EPA-approved materials and Aprehend® in accordance with label directions and industry standards.
• Follow-up visits: We return for additional treatments and inspections to monitor progress and adjust the plan if needed.
