Why trust us with bed bugs? At DOA Pest Control, our 31+ years of experience mean we’ve mastered the art of wiping out these sneaky biters. Our certified technicians use cutting-edge heat treatments and targeted chemicals, hitting every hiding spot from mattresses to crevices. We’re relentless—following up to ensure they’re gone for good—and our 100% satisfaction guarantee proves we stand by our work. Family-owned and local, we treat your home like ours, delivering personalized care you won’t find with the big chains.
We take bed bug infestations seriously, using a thorough, effective process to reclaim your home. With over 31 years of experience, our certified technicians start with a detailed inspection of your property, focusing on bedrooms, furniture, and hidden crevices where bed bugs thrive. We identify the extent of the infestation and pinpoint high-activity areas. Next, we apply industry-approved treatments, including heat applications and targeted chemical solutions, to eliminate bed bugs at all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults. Heat treatment raises room temperatures to levels bed bugs can’t survive, while chemicals address lingering populations. We treat mattresses, box springs, headboards, and upholstered furniture, ensuring no spot is overlooked. After the initial treatment, we schedule a follow-up visit to monitor results and apply additional measures if needed. Our process minimizes disruption while delivering lasting results, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee and one-year warranty on select services. We also provide guidance on preventing reinfestation, like washing bedding at high temperatures and reducing clutter. Trust us to handle your bed bug problem with precision and care.
Bed bugs are sneaky, but there are clear signs we at DOA Pest Control tell customers to watch for. If you’re waking up with itchy, red bites—often in lines or clusters on exposed skin like arms or legs—it’s a red flag. Check your bedding for tiny, rust-colored blood spots or dark fecal stains, especially near seams or corners. You might also spot shed skins, about 1-5 mm long, as nymphs grow. Live bed bugs, flat and apple-seed-sized, could appear in mattress crevices, headboards, or even behind wallpaper. A musty, sweet odor in your bedroom is another clue. Look for these signs:
Bites in patterns on skin
Blood or fecal spots on sheets
Shed skins or live bugs in hiding spots
Unusual smell in infested rooms.
If you notice these, call us—we’ll confirm the issue and act fast.
Bed bugs have fascinating traits that make them tough foes, and we’ve learned plenty about them in our 31+ years at DOA Pest Control. Cimex lectularius aren’t just pests—they’re survivalists. They can live up to a year without a blood meal, entering a dormant state until a host returns. These nocturnal feeders prefer humans but will bite pets if desperate, using two tubes—one to inject saliva, another to suck blood—in a five-to-ten-minute feast. Here’s what stands out:
Travelers: They hitchhike in luggage, clothes, or furniture, spreading easily.
Resilient: They resist many conditions, hiding in cracks as small as a credit card’s edge.
Reproductive: A female lays 200-500 eggs in her lifetime, hatching in 6-10 days.
Social: They release pheromones to signal feeding spots to others.
Despite no wings, they’re fast crawlers, moving 4 feet per minute. Their bites don’t spread disease, but their sneaky nature and rapid breeding keep us on our toes when tackling infestations!
