Bed Bug Control for Altadena

How a Bed Bug Inspection Works

Depending on the property and reported signs, we may inspect box springs, bed frames, couches, recliners, furniture seams, baseboards, cracks, and other nearby resting areas. This broader review helps determine whether activity extends beyond the most visible part of the mattress.

Visual Inspection

We examine likely hiding locations for live insects, eggs, shed skins, and spotting. After the assessment, we explain our findings and recommended next steps in plain language.

K9 Scent Detection

K9 scent detection can help locate low-level or concealed activity when visual evidence is limited. In apartments, condominiums, and other multi-unit housing, the layout, shared walls, neighboring units, and common areas may affect the appropriate inspection scope.

Thermal Remediation for Bed Bugs & Eggs

Thermal remediation uses controlled heat instead of a chemical-heavy application throughout the living space. Our heaters and fans raise temperatures while sensors monitor conditions across the treatment area, including furniture, cracks, and other potential harborages.

The process is intended to address bed bugs and their eggs. People and pets must remain outside during service and shouldn’t return until our technicians confirm that the property is ready.

Preparation varies with the rooms included, belongings, clutter level, and property layout. Before treatment, we provide instructions for temperature-sensitive items and explain what should stay, leave, or receive additional attention.

What to Do Before Your Appointment

Keep suspected items in place when possible and document what you find. Photograph insects, stains, spotting, or shed skins, then note the room and exact location where each sign appeared.

Until the property has been assessed:

• Don’t move bedding, clothing, luggage, or furniture into another room.
• Don’t discard mattresses, furniture, or personal belongings without guidance.
• Don’t apply hardware-store chemicals before a professional assessment.
• Do follow the preparation instructions provided for your property.
