Pests We Treat Photo Album: Books Full of Bed Bugs in Middletown, NJ

This home in Middletown, NJ had a large infestation of bed bugs.

Look at the Books

As soon as I entered the home, I looked to the left and saw that one of the books on the bookshelf was infested with bed bugs.

Embedded

The bed bugs were all over the bookcase and inside multiple books.

The Slippers

I continued my inspection and found more bed bugs in the homeowners slippers.

Love Tight Spaces

Bed bugs like to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment as well as in areas where they can feel pressure on both sides of their body.

Drastic Measures Needed

This was an intense infestation that required a heavy-duty treatment.

Throw it Away

I informed the homeowner that all the books as well as any items or materials that were heavily infested needed to be removed immediately. He agreed and I carefully disposed of the items.

HEPA and Steam

Next, I thoroughly vacuumed the entire home with a HEPA vacuum to suck up all the live bed bugs and their eggs. Afterward, I used a commercial grade steamer on all the surfaces to eliminate the bed bugs on contact.

Treat the Home

Next, I applied a liquid application along all the cracks, crevices, and baseboards in the home as well as all on all the harborage areas. Once a bed bug comes in contact with this application, they are eliminated.

Bed Bugs Are No Match for Cowleys

Lastly, I placed a mattress encasement cover on all the beds and scheduled several follow-up visits. Although this was a massive infestation, our extensive treatment methods will exterminate all the bed bugs in the home.
