Bed Bug Treatment FAQs
Answers to the questions Gresham homeowners and property managers ask us most before booking a bed bug inspection.
How do I know if I actually have bed bugs?
Common signs are itchy bite marks in a line or cluster, small rust-colored spots on sheets or mattress seams, and live bugs or shed skins around the bed frame. If you're not sure, our free inspection will confirm it one way or the other before you spend money on treatment.
What's included in the free inspection?
A technician checks the mattress, bed frame, baseboards, and nearby furniture for signs of activity, tells you honestly what they find, and gives you an exact price for treatment — no pressure to book on the spot.
Do you offer same-day or emergency service?
Yes. Because bed bugs spread quickly, we offer same-day and emergency inspections across Gresham when slots are available. Call (971) 326-9377 and we'll do our best to get someone out fast.
What's the difference between heat treatment and chemical treatment?
Heat treatment is a one-and-done thermal process that kills bugs and eggs in a single visit. Chemical/conventional treatment is a proven, more budget-friendly option applied over a couple of scheduled visits. We'll walk you through which fits your property and budget during the inspection.
What is K9 bed bug detection used for?
A trained scent dog can confirm or rule out bed bug activity in areas that are hard to inspect visually, which is especially useful in apartments, multi-unit buildings, and cases where you want certainty before treating.
Can you treat apartments and multi-unit buildings?
Yes. Bed bugs move easily between shared walls, so for apartments and multi-unit properties we coordinate treatment across the affected unit and its neighbors to keep bugs from simply moving next door and coming back.
Do I have to throw away my mattress or furniture?
Usually not. Our mattress and furniture treatment is designed to save your belongings instead of sending them to the curb. In most cases, treated items are safe to keep once the process is complete.
What happens if bed bugs come back after treatment?
Our work is backed by a workmanship guarantee, and we schedule a follow-up/preventive visit to confirm the treatment held. If you're still seeing activity afterward, call us and we'll come back out.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Gresham, OR and the surrounding 97030 and 97080 zip codes, including Downtown, North, Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast Gresham, Powell Valley, Kelly Creek, Gresham Butte, Hogan Cedars, Centennial, Hollybrook, and Gresham Station.
How much does bed bug treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property and how widespread the infestation is. Rather than guess over the phone, we give you an exact, fixed price after the free on-site inspection — call (971) 326-9377 for a free estimate.
