How We Inspect for Bed Bugs

At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we deliver thorough, professional bed bug inspection services to accurately detect and assess the presence of these hard-to-spot pests. Early identification is critical to preventing the spread of a bed bug infestation and ensuring fast, effective treatment.

Here’s how our experts inspect for bed bugs:

Comprehensive Visual Inspection

Our trained technicians begin with a detailed examination of common bed bug hiding spots, including:

  • Mattresses and box springs
  • Bed frames and headboards
  • Upholstered furniture
  • Baseboards, carpet edges, wall cracks, and floor crevices

We look for signs of live bed bugs, shed skins, eggs, and fecal stains — clear indicators of infestation.

Use of Bed Bug Detection Tools

To ensure nothing is missed, we use specialised detection equipment such as:

  • High-powered flashlights
  • Magnifying tools
  • In some locations, bed bug detection dogs trained to sniff out hidden infestations

These tools help us locate bed bugs in hard-to-reach or concealed areas that may be overlooked in DIY inspections.

Client Interview & Infestation Assessment

We’ll ask detailed questions about bed bug bites, recent travel history, or prior sightings to better understand the infestation’s size and scope. This helps us create a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Clear Reporting & Treatment Planning

After the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining:

  • Areas of activity
  • Severity of infestation
  • Recommended next steps

You’ll receive actionable guidance so you can move forward confidently with treatment and prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bed bug?

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, oval-shaped, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals while they sleep. As nocturnal ectoparasites, bed bugs hide during the day and emerge at night to bite, often leaving behind itchy, red welts.

Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and lack wings, but they can crawl quickly across floors, furniture, walls, and ceilings. While they’re most commonly found in beds, bed bugs can infest mattresses, box springs, bed frames, couches, luggage, clothing, and even electrical outlets.

These pests are excellent hiders, squeezing into cracks, seams, and crevices where they’re hard to detect and remove without professional help. Bed bugs are known to infest:

  • Residential homes
  • Apartments
  • Hotels
  • Hospitals
  • Public transport
  • Office buildings

What makes bed bugs especially difficult to control is their ability to survive for months without feeding and reproduce rapidly. Female bed bugs can lay hundreds of eggs, leading to large infestations in a short time.

To identify and eliminate bed bugs, early action is essential. At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we offer expert bed bug inspection, treatment, and prevention services using proven, eco-friendly methods. If you suspect bed bug activity, contact us today for fast, effective solutions that restore your comfort and peace of mind.

how do I get rid of bed bugs?

Getting rid of bed bugs can be difficult without professional help, as these pests hide in tiny crevices and reproduce quickly. The best method depends on the severity of the infestation, but here are the most effective bed bug removal techniques used today:

1. 🧪 Professional Bed Bug Pesticide Treatments

Targeted bed bug pesticide applications are one of the most reliable ways to eliminate infestations. At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we use APVMA-approved, pet-safe insecticides that are applied to known hiding spots like mattresses, furniture, and baseboards. These treatments are performed by trained technicians and are designed to kill bed bugs at all life stages.

2. 🔥 Heat Treatments

Heat treatment is a highly effective, chemical-free option. This process raises the temperature in the affected room to levels that are lethal to bed bugs and their eggs (typically above 50°C). It requires specialist equipment and is performed by licensed pest professionals. Heat treatments are ideal for severe or widespread infestations.

3. 💨 Steam Treatments

Like heat, steam can be used to kill bed bugs and eggs on contact. Steam is especially effective on upholstered furniture, mattress seams, and other soft surfaces. While steam treatment can be useful, it’s typically used alongside other methods for best results.

4. 🏠 Home Remedies (With Caution)

Some people try DIY bed bug treatments like diatomaceous earth, baking soda, or essential oils. While these may help with very minor infestations, they are rarely effective on their own. Home remedies are not a substitute for professional bed bug pest control, especially once eggs and nymphs are present.

The most reliable way to remove bed bugs is to contact a licensed pest control provider. At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we offer comprehensive bed bug treatment plans that combine inspection, elimination, and prevention — all tailored to your property.

If you're dealing with bed bugs, don’t wait. Contact us today for fast, safe, and effective bed bug control services that restore your comfort and peace of mind.

What do bed bug bites look like and how can I treat them?

Bed bug bites typically appear as small, red, itchy welts, often found in clusters or straight lines on exposed skin like the arms, legs, neck, or back. Reactions can vary — some people experience intense itching and swelling, while others may not react at all.

Common signs of bed bug bites:

  • Itchy red bumps, sometimes with a darker center
  • Bites arranged in a line or cluster
  • Inflammation or irritation around the bite site
  • Bites appear overnight or after sleeping

While bed bug bites are not known to transmit disease, the itching can lead to scratching, which may cause skin infections or irritation.

🩺 How to treat bed bug bites:

  • Clean the area with soap and water to prevent infection
  • Apply anti-itch creams (like hydrocortisone) or a cold compress
  • Take antihistamines if swelling or itching persists
  • Avoid scratching to reduce the risk of scarring or secondary infection

If symptoms worsen or you experience an allergic reaction, consult a medical professional.

If you're seeing bed bug bites, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with an infestation. Contact Jim’s Termite & Pest Control for a professional bed bug inspection and safe, effective removal. We’ll help you eliminate bed bugs and stop the bites — fast.

What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?

Detecting a bed bug infestation early is key to preventing a larger outbreak. At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we recommend looking out for these common signs of bed bugs in your home or business:

1. 🩸 Bed Bug Bites

One of the first clues is often itchy, red welts on your skin. Bed bug bites usually appear in clusters or straight lines, typically on exposed areas like arms, neck, or legs. Keep in mind: not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, so their absence doesn’t mean you’re in the clear.

2. 🔍 Live Bed Bugs

You may spot live adult bed bugs crawling in or around mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture, or baseboards. Adult bed bugs are flat, oval-shaped, and about 5–7mm long — roughly the size of an apple seed. Their colour ranges from reddish-brown to almost black, especially after feeding.

3. 🛏️ Blood Stains on Sheets

After feeding, bed bugs can leave behind tiny blood smears on sheets, pillowcases, or mattress covers — often from being crushed during sleep.

4. ⚫ Dark Fecal Spots

Bed bugs leave behind dark droppings that resemble small black or brown specks. These fecal stains are commonly found along mattress seams, on bed frames, or behind headboards.

5. 🐜 Shed Skins (Exoskeletons)

As they grow, bed bugs shed their skins. Finding translucent, shell-like casings is a strong sign of ongoing infestation, especially near seams, cracks, or crevices.

6. 👃 Musty Odour

In severe infestations, you may notice a sweet, musty smell — often compared to raspberries or coriander. This odour comes from bed bug scent glands and is more noticeable in closed or heavily infested areas.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. A professional bed bug inspection from Jim’s can confirm the infestation and provide a targeted treatment plan. Our team uses advanced techniques to detect, treat, and prevent bed bugs — keeping your home or business safe and pest-free.

How can I prevent bed bugs from infesting my bed?

Preventing bed bugs from infesting your bed starts with proactive habits and regular inspections. At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we recommend the following expert tips to reduce your risk and keep your sleeping space bed bug-free:

1. 🛏️ Use Bed Bug-Proof Mattress Encasements

Install high-quality, bed bug-proof encasements on your mattress and box spring. These tightly woven covers act as a barrier, preventing bed bugs from getting in or out and making it easier to spot signs of activity.

2. 🔍 Inspect & Wash Bedding Regularly

Check your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets for blood spots, fecal stains, or shed bed bug skins. Wash all bedding in hot water (at least 60°C) and dry on high heat to kill any hidden pests or eggs.

3. 🧹 Reduce Bedroom Clutter

Clutter gives bed bugs more places to hide. Keep your bedroom tidy and free from piles of clothes, paper, or items under the bed. The fewer hiding spots, the lower your risk of infestation.

4. 🧽 Vacuum Frequently

Vacuum your mattress seams, bed frame, and surrounding floor areas at least once a week. Focus on cracks, crevices, and carpet edges where bed bugs may nest. After vacuuming, dispose of the contents in a sealed plastic bag and remove it from the house.

5. 🧳 Practice Bed Bug Safety When Travelling

Inspect hotel beds, headboards, and furniture for signs of bed bugs. Keep luggage elevated and away from the bed. On return, wash clothes in hot water and inspect your suitcase thoroughly.

6. 📦 Be Careful with Secondhand Items

Avoid bringing used mattresses or upholstered furniture into your home unless it’s been professionally inspected or treated. Secondhand items are a common source of bed bug infestations.

7. 🧼 Seal Entry Points

Inspect and seal cracks around baseboards, wall outlets, and bed frames. Reducing access points helps prevent bed bugs from spreading between rooms or units in multi-family buildings.

While these bed bug prevention tips can reduce your risk, infestations can still occur. If you suspect bed bug activity, contact Jim’s Termite & Pest Control for a professional bed bug inspection and treatment plan. We offer safe, effective, and affordable solutions to help you sleep easy again.

What are the most effective bed bug treatments, and do bed bug sprays work?

Effective bed bug treatment requires a targeted approach using a combination of methods — and while bed bug sprays can help, they’re rarely enough on their own to eliminate an infestation.

At Jim’s Termite & Pest Control, we offer professional bed bug treatment services that are safe, effective, and tailored to your home or business. Here's how we treat bed bugs:

✅ 1. Professional-Grade Bed Bug Sprays

We use approved residual insecticides specifically designed to kill bed bugs and their eggs. These bed bug sprays are applied to high-risk areas such as mattresses, bed frames, furniture, cracks, and crevices. Unlike over-the-counter products, our solutions are long-lasting, pet-safe, and professionally applied for maximum effectiveness.

✅ 2. Heat and Steam Treatments

In cases of severe infestation, we may recommend thermal remediation. This involves raising the temperature of the affected area above 50°C — the point at which bed bugs and their eggs are destroyed. Steam can also be applied to upholstered items, seams, and corners.

✅ 3. Integrated Pest Management

Our technicians combine sprays, heat, monitoring traps, and physical removal (e.g. vacuuming) to create a customised bed bug treatment plan. This ensures the infestation is addressed thoroughly and that future outbreaks are prevented.
