Understanding Bed Bug Risks
Bed bugs present numerous challenges for homeowners and businesses alike. These resilient pests can enter properties through various means—hitchhiking on luggage, used furniture, or clothing. In urban environments, bed bugs can travel between connecting walls and units, making apartment complexes particularly vulnerable. Once established, these nocturnal insects feed on human blood, causing itchy welts and potential skin infections. Beyond physical discomfort, bed bug infestations often lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and social stigma for those affected.

At PMSI, we provide thorough bed bug control from initial assessment through complete elimination. Our technicians are trained to identify all hiding spots, including furniture seams, baseboards, electrical outlets, and picture frames. We utilize specialized equipment to detect bed bugs in hard-to-reach areas and implement targeted treatments based on infestation severity. Our approach includes follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination and prevent recurring problems.

When properly installed as part of our multi-step treatment process, these encasements allow you to keep your existing mattress while our technicians work to eliminate the infestation throughout your home.
