There’s the beginning of a bed bug epidemic spreading across the US, and our fellow residents in Buffalo, NY, are having a tough time controlling the infestations. The beginning of bed bugs taking over certain areas and cities that is raising alarm. The good news is that many people are now more aware of the preventive measures they can take to keep their homes pest-free. The bad news is that the number of infected homes still continues to rise.
Our research attributes this increase in infestations to a parallel increase in new and/or inexperienced pest control companies in the area, paired with rising treatment costs and a general misunderstanding about bed bugs. What’s happening now is a classic case of supply and demand: as more homes become infested, more pest control companies are setting up shop to meet the increased need. Healthy competition is good and serves to keep overall costs in check.
That said, we recognize that having bed bugs is daunting enough; trying to find the right pest exterminator may feel like more than you can handle. That’s why we’ve put together this quick list highlighting some key traits to look for when selecting a pest exterminator for your bed bug problem.
Knowledge From The State At The Beginning Of Bed Bugs Epidemic
State law in New York requires that every pest control company has at least 1 licensed applicator on staff and on call at all times. This is good news. But having “book smarts” is no substitute for having real-life (and real bed bug) experience. It is important to consider how much knowledge and experience competing companies have, specifically with bed bug control and elimination.
For example, did you know that bed bugs are thigmotropic, meaning they are stimulated by physical contact with an object? This is why, despite their name, they cluster in the cracks and crevices of your home, and prefer to live in your walls, not in your bed. This author is willing to bet that your generic pest exterminator didn’t know it either.
