In New England, the resurgence of bed bugs has become a growing concern for homeowners. They are very invasive, hard to spot, and tough to eliminate effectively. Worse still, they bite and feed on human blood.
Bed bugs can cause sleepless nights and itchy bites, highlighting the need for effective bed bug pest control is the solution. They are naturally elusive and rapidly reproduce. So early detection and prompt bed bug removal are essential as part of effective bed bug pest control.
In worse news, bed bugs have enjoyed a boom over the past decade. Why? Because ours is an increasingly mobile society and bed bugs are the original hitchhikers. If you have luggage, these tiny terrors will travel with you in secret.
Discovering a bed bug infestation early can prevent a minor issue from becoming a big problem for you. Look out for these signs of a bed bug infestation:
Bed bugs are hard to spot as they’re nocturnal and 90% of the time they’re in hiding. They often hide in the day in upholstered furniture, or behind headboards, electrical outlets, pictures and mirrors, plus inside nightstands or dressers, mattress seams, and along baseboards, curtains or drapes.
Still not sure if you have bed bugs? Our team's expertise can help identify if you have an infestation that needs treatment.
Unlike mosquitoes, which can transmit many diseases, bed bugs do not pose the same threat. But bed bugs do leave nasty bites that can cause severe itching, which can become infected if untreated.
Although bed bugs are not dangerous, the psychological toll of an infestation, stress, anxiety, and insomnia, can be substantial.

Seeing just one bed bug can be overwhelmingly stressful if you own a home or business. But then you also have the extra stress of how to get rid of them.
JP Pest Services takes the stress and guesswork out of choosing both the most effective method and the best pest management company.
The first step in solving a bed bug problem is a professional inspection.
Your technician will examine sleeping and communal areas, then expand outward to assess the full extent of the infestation. They’ll also consider daily activity in your space to determine the most effective eradication strategy.
After confirming the infestation, your technician will help create a personalized treatment plan.
With support from a specially trained team, they’ll use biological solutions and trapping tools (like mattress encasements and active monitors) to eliminate bed bugs quickly and efficiently.
A few weeks after your initial service, your technician will return for a follow-up inspection. This visit ensures the treatment was effective and gives you confidence that the infestation has been resolved. Additional monitoring tools may be checked or adjusted as needed.
As well as bed bug treatment, your service professional may recommend specialized tools to help monitor ongoing activity and catch any new bugs that might try to return. Early detection is a game-changer when it comes to minimizing the impact of infestations.
These tools may include:
Small, inconspicuous plastic cups are placed beneath each bed leg. These allow bed bugs to climb in and become trapped, offering a simple and effective way to reduce population and monitor for activity.
Protective covers that prevent bed bugs from hiding in hard-to-see areas. They also stop infestations from forming inside mattresses or box springs, leaving bugs exposed for easier inspection and treatment.
Yes, they’re hard to spot as they’re nocturnal, hiding 90% of the time and not just in beds. So the first time you may suspect you have them is if you have itchy, red bite welts on your skin. They’re also hard to eliminate without professional treatment.
