Preventing A Bed Bug Infestation
Preventing bed bugs is crucial. Here are some effective tips:
- Inspect used furniture: Inspect any secondhand furniture before bringing it into your home.
- Be cautious in public places: Avoid placing luggage or personal belongings on beds or upholstered furniture in hotels, motels, or other public places.
- Wash bedding regularly: Wash bed linens and pillowcases in hot water to kill any potential bed bugs.
- Vacuum frequently: Regularly vacuum carpets, furniture, and floors to remove bed bugs and their eggs.
- Inspect luggage: Check your luggage carefully after returning from trips.
Can I get rid of bed bugs on my own?
While there are over-the-counter products available, bed bug infestations can be challenging to eliminate without professional help. Bed bugs are highly adaptable and can hide in tiny crevices, making it difficult to reach all infested areas. Our expert technicians have the knowledge and equipment to effectively target and eliminate bed bugs.
Will I need to throw away my mattress and furniture?
In most cases, it's not necessary to discard your mattress or furniture. Professional heat treatments can effectively kill bed bugs without damaging your belongings. However, in severe infestations, it may be necessary to dispose of heavily infested items.

Why is heat an effective treatment for bed bugs?Bed bugs are highly resistant to topical treatments. The infestation rate across the world has increased 50% per year for the last decade, and the Dallas area has reported a 12 and 13% increase in the last two years. Heat treatments are an effective way to destroy adult bed bugs and their eggs. Many traditional treatments do not affect the eggs, which is why infestations reoccur even after professional treatment. With a bed bug heat treatment from Gecko Pest Control, this won't be a problem. Our methodology is guaranteed to wipe out your bed bug infestation completely.
-
