Fortunately, these tiny insects are not particularly dangerous, and we can eliminate them using professional techniques.

Free Bed Bug Inspections
Bed bug control services in Sacramento begin with a free inspection. Your skilled Sacramento technician will start by asking you where you have noticed bed bug activity. They will then use the information provided to perform a thorough examination in the areas specified. The technician will examine key points in the specified areas, including light switch covers, outlet covers, mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and other soft furnishings.
Bed bugs are often found hiding along the seams of your mattress. Using a mattress cover is a good way to prevent bed bugs from infesting your bed. During a bed bug inspection we will inspect every mattress in your home for bugs.
Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite!
One way to notice bed bugs is by getting their bug bites. These bugs bite at night when you are sleeping. So, you will wake up with bed bug bites usually on your arms and legs. Our bed bug control services will eliminate your pest problems quickly. That way you can get a good night's sleep.
If they find bed bugs, the inspection will carry on into surrounding areas or rooms to help determine the severity of the infestation. If needed, we will schedule treatment services upon completion of the inspection.
Control and Treatment Options
Bed bugs can be a real problem, but there are ways to control and eliminate them. First, you need a pest control exterminator to identify the areas where they might be hiding, such as the seams of mattresses, bed frames, furniture joints, electrical outlets, under loose wallpaper, and inside luggage. Regular cleaning and decluttering can also help reduce their hiding spots. You can also use mattress covers to prevent them from hiding in your bed.
If the infestation is severe, you definitely need to hire a professional pest control operator who can use professional tools to control bed bugs. There are several chemical and non-chemical treatments to kill the bugs. Remember, the effectiveness of pest control methods can vary, so consult a professional pest control technician.
At Local Pest Solutions, we know that bed bugs are a nuisance. However, we have several methods to control and eliminate them for you.
What if bed bugs are in your hotel room?
- To avoid being bitten by bed bugs, be cautious and look for signs of them anywhere they might be hiding.
- Check for bed bug poop, eggs, and little bits of skin that they leave behind.
- When staying in a hotel, inspect the bed, mattress, and headboard before using them.
- If you suspect bed bugs are in your hotel room, inform the hotel immediately so they can take action.
- Keep your clothes and belongings on dressers or luggage racks, not on the bed or furniture.
- Close your bags and suitcases when not in use.
- Recheck your things before leaving the hotel and when you get home to ensure that bed bugs have not come with you.
How do you get rid of bed bugs in California?
- Remove bed linens and vacuum the surface of the mattress and box spring.
- Check closely for any rips or tears which could provide additional harborage for dust mites or bed bugs.
- Lift the box spring and vacuum the bed support frame.
- Vacuum all surfaces of the headboard.
- A thorough cleaning routine and conscious uncluttering is essential. It can help to eliminate residual allergens and promote a healthier sleeping environment.
What is the best pest control method for bed bugs?
There are several ways to kill bed bugs, including:
- Heat treatment: Bed bugs die when exposed to temperatures above 120°F (49°C) for an extended period. Professional heat treatment is for pest control companies to administer.
- Freezing: Bed bugs can be killed by exposure to temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) for at least four days.
- Steam Treatment: Steam cleaning can kill bed bugs and their eggs. It's essential to use a high-temperature steamer to direct the steam into cracks and crevices where bed bugs may hide.
- Vacuuming: Vacuuming can help remove bed bugs and their eggs from carpets, mattresses, and other surfaces. Be sure to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to capture the bed bugs and their eggs.
- Washing: Bedding, clothing, and other washable items can be laundered at high temperatures to kill bed bugs and their eggs.
- Disposal: Infested items that cannot be treated or cleaned may need to be disposed of to prevent further infestation.
It's important to note that while these methods can effectively kill bed bugs, a professional exterminator is necessary to eradicate an infestation.

Our Professional Bed Bug Pest Control Process
Bed bugs are challenging to get rid of. Their small size, prolific nature, and nesting choices make them difficult to locate and treat effectively. At Local Pest Solutions, we have developed a safe and effective process to treat your home and restore your peace of mind. This bed bug control process includes an inspection, treatment, and follow-up visits to ensure we eradicate the problem.
Part of our dedication to being a professional bed bug pest control service is having the most current innovative tools. So, we stay on the leading edge of advances in pest management and bed bug control technology. Most recently, in our continuous pursuit to better our services, we purchased a tool that drastically improves our bed bug control service.
Now, with laser-like precision, we eliminate bed bugs safely and effectively and exterminate them for good. But the improvement does not stop there. Our bed bug control measures do not require fumigation. We eliminate bed bugs using a safe, chemical-free treatment that does not damage your property.
Sacramento Bed Bug Home Pest Control Preparation
In our experience, we have found that single-room treatments are not very effective at eliminating bed bug infestations. If our tech finds bed bugs in one room, they will also treat the two adjacent rooms. If bed bugs are present in more than one room, they will treat the whole house to ensure quality service. Before our tech applies treatment, you will need to prepare your home.
To prepare an infested room for treatment, you must first do the following:
- Remove all clothing and bedding from the room, place them in garbage bags, and launder them.
- Empty all drawers.
- Empty closets and place items in garbage bags or totes to be treated.
- Make plans for you and your pets to be out of the home for up to six hours during treatment.
When your technician arrives to begin treatment applications, they will need access to the areas they need to treat. Make plans for a fun day out and enjoy yourself while we take care of business back home.
Bed Bug Treatment Process
After a free bed bug inspection, we create a custom beg bug treatment plan for you. And that pest control treatment plan may include any of the following pest management solutions:
- Eradicating beg bugs with pinpoint accuracy with direct hot steam application.
- We will apply a specialized dust treatment to wall voids, frames, nightstands, dressers, and any other necessary areas.
- We will fit mattresses and box springs with an encasement if you choose to keep them.
- Our team will treat each affected room thoroughly.
After Bed Bug Removal
Once applying the treatments, we recommend that you stay out of the house for a minimum of three hours to allow for proper ventilation. As soon as the house has had enough time to air out, breathe a sigh of relief in your bed bug-free home!
Because bed bugs are so small and good at hiding, it’s not uncommon to miss a couple, and why we have included follow-up visits in our bed bug service plan. After treatment, we will follow up with you to ensure we successfully eradicated the bed bugs from your home. We will re-treat and follow up until we are certain your Sacramento home is bed bug-free.

michael geiger-reed2022-10-30Chee has been great! He has been friendly and nice and explaining what he is doing while working inside our scary horror film of an infested house. I wish I had his help for the big spiders living in our drains but sadly our landlord company won't cover that so it's up to us to fork up cash. Chee should be the face of the company he works in because he understands what customer service is.
