Mechanicsville Pest Service in VA
How to identify Bed Bugs:Bed Bugs are small flat oval shaped bugs without wings. They are brown in color but do turn red after eating.
Bugs are everywhere and mostly we tolerate them outside of our living space as a necessary part of life. They are natures clean-up solution for the refuse other living creatures leave behind and are also food for birds and other small mammals. However, in the case of Bed Bugs one can seriously believe they have been put on earth, are not beneficial to the cycle of life and seemed to exist only to prey upon sleeping humans and companion pets. |

History Of Bed Bugs
Before 1939 in America, bed bugs were so common that smart travelers would pull beds away from the walls, immerse the bed legs in pans of oil or place a sticky substance around the bed to stop bed bugs from climbing the bed to feed. Then in 1939 a potent insecticide called DDT was developed and it became incredibly successful at killing insects in more developed nations. For the next 60 years, DDT was sprayed everywhere in homes, neighborhoods, businesses and even decorative wallpaper was treated with it. The wide and prolonged usage of DDT made the bed bug scourge fade to the bad memories of our grandparents. Even the often heard "sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite" phrase lost it's real meaning and became a fictional nightmare monster to children.
As the decades pass, people started noticing the usually noisy birds at spring were rather quiet and when the problem was examined their populations were found to be dramatically reduced. When birds were tested, they were found to have residual DDT in their systems which was found to be detrimental to their reproduction capabilities. Then testing also confirmed concentrations of DDT in humans especially high in human milk and was thought to be a carcinogen. This raised awareness that a tremendous health hazard was routinely used everywhere and DDT was banned in 1970.
However, Bed Bugs were still a problem in less developed nations and as rapid travel by plane became more common around the world, bed bugs arrived with travelers to the USA and since 2009 have exploded into our society with pest controllers having little knowledge, at first, how to cope with them. Since then, effective methods to eliminate Bed Bugs have been undergoing constant development.

Mechanicsville Pest Control provides the absolute Best TREATMENT plans for getting rid of Bed bugs
Exterminations and treatment are accomplished through a heat method and/or a spray.
Heat method for killing bedbugs uses specialized equipment to raise the room temperature inside the dwelling to a kill temperature above 117 degrees Fahrenheit while making sure the heat travels to all cracks, crevices, behind walls anywhere the bugs can hide or crawl into to escape the heat. This has to be properly performed by a pest control company that specializes in this heat method because sensors must be used to monitor temperatures throughout the area of infestation. The technicians have to be exacting in their duties while performing treatments because success depends upon them getting it right. The heat is raised with big electric heaters wheeled into the dwelling and they crank the heat up to about 135 degrees F. Inexperienced pest controllers have burn down people's home so this job is not for the DYI.
Chemical treatment can involve removing and bagging many household items that can’t be sprayed and taking them to a dump or otherwise keeping the items under wraps for 10 months which the length of time a bed bug can live between meals. Plus, clothing and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried with high drying temperatures. These steps are time consuming and inconvenient which is why most clients prefer using a heat treatment.
