Bed Bug Exterminator Services - RECON Pest Services
Waking up with itchy red bites in lines on your skin? Finding small blood stains on your sheets? At RECON Pest Services, we know how terrible bed bug problems can be. These bugs feed on you at night while you sleep.
Our bed bug exterminator services get rid of these hidden bugs at every stage of their life. Bed bugs are hard to kill and hide in tiny cracks during the day. They multiply fast and spread to other rooms if you don’t treat them right away.
In Nebraska, bed bugs get into hotels, apartments, and homes by traveling in luggage and on used furniture. Once they are in your bedroom, they build colonies in mattress seams and spread through your house. These pests can live for months without eating and are very good at staying hidden.
Bed Bug Exterminator Services
We handle all kinds of bed bug problems in Nebraska:
- Heat Treatment Services use high heat to kill bed bugs at every life stage. We heat your home to 140 degrees, which kills eggs, young bugs, and adult bugs right away.
- Chemical Treatment Programs use different products to target bed bugs where they hide. We use sprays that keep killing bugs for weeks after we’ve left.
- Mattress and Furniture Treatments focus on beds, couches, and chairs where bed bugs hide. We treat the seams, cracks, and small spaces where they live.
- Whole House Elimination is for big infestations that have spread beyond the bedrooms. We treat every room to stop the bugs from moving around and coming back.
- Hotel Bed Bug Services provide private treatments for hotels. We work quickly to get rooms ready for guests without causing problems for others.
- Apartment Building Programs stop bed bugs from spreading between units through shared walls. We work with the whole building to break the cycle of bugs coming back.
- Follow-up Inspection Services make sure our treatments worked and find any bugs that might have survived before the population grows again. We often need to visit more than once to get rid of all the bugs.
- Prevention Education Programs teach you how to avoid bringing bed bugs home and how to spot them early.
Bed Bug Exterminator: Handling All Infestations
Bed bug problems in Nebraska can be small or very large:
- Early infestations have only a few bugs, usually near one bed. These are the easiest to treat but the hardest to find before they spread.
- Established colonies have bugs in many spots around bedrooms. You will see live bugs, blood spots on sheets, and dark spots from their waste.
- Severe infestations have spread all over the home with bugs in many rooms. These take more time to get rid of and often need different types of treatment.
- Multi-unit infestations affect apartments and hotels where bugs move between rooms. These need treatments for the whole building to stop them from coming back.
All levels of bed bug problems cause the same issues: itchy bites, sleepless nights, and worry about sleeping in your own bed. Treating them early stops small problems from becoming big ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Bed Bug Control
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Look for itchy bites in a line, small blood spots on your sheets, dark stains on mattresses, and a sweet, musty smell in bedrooms.
Where do bed bugs hide during the day?
They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, nightstands, and any dark place within 8 feet of where people sleep.
Can bed bugs live without feeding?
Yes, they can live up to a year without blood. This is why empty houses can still have bed bug problems when people move back in.
Do bed bugs carry diseases?
They don’t spread diseases that we know of, but their bites can cause allergic reactions and infections from scratching.
How fast do bed bugs multiply?
Females lay 1-5 eggs per day. Just one pregnant female can cause an infestation of thousands of bugs in a few months.
Treatment Methods
What's better: heat treatment or chemicals?
Heat kills everything in one day but costs more. Chemicals take longer but cost less and give you protection that lasts.
How hot does heat treatment get?
We heat rooms to 140 degrees for several hours. This temperature kills all bed bug life stages, including eggs.
Are bed bug treatments safe for my family?
Yes, when done by a professional. Heat treatments use no chemicals. Chemical treatments use products that are safe for bedrooms.
How long does bed bug treatment take?
Heat treatments take one full day. Chemical treatments need a few visits over 2–4 weeks.
Can I sleep in my bed after treatment?
Usually, yes, but it depends on the type of treatment. We will give you specific instructions for your situation.
Prevention and Preparation
How do bed bugs get into homes?
They travel in luggage, used furniture, clothes, and boxes. They also spread from nearby infested apartments.
What should I do before treatment?
Wash and dry all your clothes on high heat, vacuum well, and move things away from walls. We provide a full checklist of what to do.
Can I treat bed bugs myself?
Store-bought products rarely work and often make the problem worse by making the bugs spread to new areas.
How can I avoid bringing bed bugs home?
Check hotel beds before you unpack, look at used furniture very carefully, and keep your luggage in the bathroom when traveling.
Will throwing away my mattress solve the problem?
No, bed bugs hide in many places besides mattresses. Throwing away furniture often just spreads them to other areas.
