Bed Bug Treatment
Professional bed bug treatment services in Denver & the Front Range
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers that can infest any home regardless of cleanliness. They're notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help. We use proven heat treatment and targeted chemical applications to eradicate bed bugs completely, eggs and all.
How to Identify Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small (about the size of an apple seed), reddish-brown, and flat. Signs of infestation include itchy bite marks in lines or clusters, small blood spots on sheets, dark fecal spots on mattress seams, and a sweet musty odor in heavily infested rooms. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, and cracks near sleeping areas.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is one of the most effective bed bug elimination methods. We raise the temperature of infested rooms to 130-140°F, which is lethal to bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs. Heat penetrates into mattresses, furniture, and wall voids where chemical treatments may not reach.
Chemical Treatment
For targeted applications, we use professional-grade products applied to bed bug harborage areas. This includes crack-and-crevice treatments, dust applications in wall voids, and residual treatments on bed frames and furniture. Multiple visits may be needed for complete elimination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How did I get bed bugs?
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They travel on luggage, clothing, used furniture, and personal items. Hotels, public transportation, movie theaters, and even offices can be sources. Having bed bugs is not a sign of poor hygiene.
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
DIY bed bug treatment is extremely difficult. Over-the-counter products have limited effectiveness, and bed bugs are resistant to many consumer pesticides. Professional treatment is strongly recommended for complete elimination.
How many treatments does it take?
Heat treatment often resolves the problem in a single visit. Chemical treatment typically requires 2-3 visits spaced 2 weeks apart to catch newly hatched bugs. We include follow-up inspections to verify elimination.
Do I need to throw away my mattress?
Usually not. Professional treatment can eliminate bed bugs from mattresses. We recommend mattress and box spring encasements after treatment as an added precaution.
