Why Are Bed Bugs So Hard to Get Rid Of?
One of the worst thoughts to have running through your mind as you lay on your pillow at night is the chance of a bed bug somewhere close by. One of the most difficult insects to remove from a home is the bed bug. Homeowners lose a great deal of sleep with the thought of bed bugs crawling through their sheets or onto their pajamas. On the other hand, some homeowners have no idea that they have a bed bug problem until they begin to take the bite marks on their skin seriously.
How to Prevent Bed Bugs from Your House or Apartment
Many people associate bed bugs with filth or clutter, but this is not entirely true. Bed bugs can infest the cleanest of houses. Remember that bed bugs do not feed on garbage like cockroaches do, bed bugs feed on your blood and in some cases, your pet’s blood. If you think that there are bed bugs where you sleep, do not begin sleeping in another bed or on your couch out in the living room. This can only spread the bed bug problem even more throughout your home. Also avoid going to stay with others, unless you want to share your problem with them as well. Bed bugs will latch onto anything to hitch a ride into a new home or onto a new host to feed on.
Pay Close Attention to Any Signs of Bed Bugs in your Home
Bed bugs are very successful at staying hidden from the human eye for long periods of time. A bed bug is able to successfully hide due to its shape and color. Many people often compare the appearance of a bed bug to that of an apple seed. Bed bugs are slender and flat in shape and their color is dark brown to black. If you happen to find a bed bug in your home, do not discard of it, but save it in a zip lock bag to show your pest technician from Eagle Pest Services. You may also need to show it to your landlord so you can quickly begin the process of having the bed bugs removed by a professional. There are specific signs that bed bugs leave behind that you should pay close attention to. Any sign of blood stains on your pillow case or sheets are a pretty good indication that there are bed bugs in your home. Bed bugs also tend to leave a musty odor behind as well. If you suspect that bed bugs are in your home, contact Eagle Pest Services immediately.

From the initial preparation guidance to the execution of services and the follow-up interaction, the entire process was seamless and highly professional. I would like to specifically recognize Rachel, Frank, and Amanda for their exemplary professionalism and dedication. It is rare to encounter a team that excels so consistently across all touchpoints—before, during, and after service.

“Eagle answered our questions professionally. Technicians showed up on time and were courteous and cheerful. The price for heat treatment was expensive, but a lot less than the other heat treatment provider we interviewed--and unlike the other provider, the estimate was free.”
Brittany Campbell, National Pest Management Association
I just wanted to say that your technician, Jason (I don't know his last name) came to my apartment this morning to look at a fly issue and he was extremely professional, wore all the proper PPE, and did a thorough inspection of my home. I'm an entomologist at the National Pest Management Association (I have a PhD in urban entomology and train the pest control industry-- so I can vouch for the technician's knowledge and professionalism).I'm grateful for Jason and all of the PMPs out there working hard during these difficult times so please let Jason's supervisor know he did a great job and gave excellent customer service.

When I learned that my elderly Uncle had a heavy infestation of bedbugs, I began looking for solutions. I tried several contractors, but one stood out from the others. My situation was very unique, as I live 250 miles away from my Uncle, and cannot be there all the time. It was such a relief to find Eagle Pest, as they coordinated everything for me. From initial contact, all the way through to a very challenging heat treatment and follow up visits, they were fantastic. I had total peace of mind in dealing with the Eagle Pest team, and am very happy to report that my Uncle is rid of bed bugs and back into a healthy way of life. Thank you so much, Eagle Pest, you folks are the best. A definite 5-Star rating in my book.
