Our Unique Approach To Treating Bed Bugs
To an untrained eye, spotting a bed bug infestation can prove to be difficult. And, if you discover bed bugs in your home, do-it-yourself remedies and over-the-counter solutions are often ineffective. The highly-trained team at Prestige Pest Unit & House Wash will assess your situation, implement a solution, and monitor activity to ensure our bed bug treatment works.
1. BED BUG INSPECTION
The naked eye cannot see the common bed bug. So we’ll perform a thorough inspection checking your mattress, box spring, bed frame, head/footboards, walls, and carpet in the affected room. We’ll also check adjoining rooms just to be sure. This step helps us determine the severity of the bed bug infestation and how many rooms are affected.
2. PREPARATION CHECKLIST
We’ll share a preparation checklist with you before we perform your bed bug treatment. It includes, but is not limited to, the following items: reduce clutter, launder infested garments and lines, dismantle bed frames, remove dresser drawers, and clean the area. You must complete the items on this list before we treat your home. This step will drastically increase the effectiveness of your bed bug treatment.
3. VACUUM TREATMENT
We’ll use a specialized vacuum to capture unsuspecting bed bugs and remove any eggs, exoskeletons, or molted skin they’ve left behind in your home. A good vacuum cleaning job not only removes bed bug particles but also encourages greater insecticide penetration.
4. CHEMICAL APPLICATION
We’ll carefully apply a combination of liquid, aerosol, and dust in the affected room(s). Not only will we treat your mattress, but we’ll also target your baseboards and furniture (nightstands, chests, dressers, couches, and chairs). This treatment not only drives bed bugs out from their hiding place, but it also kills them on contact.
Aprehend– is a novel biopesticide that uses Beauveria bassiana, a naturally occurring fungal spore, in an oil-based formulation to be sprayed as barriers in areas where bed bugs walk. When bed bugs cross the barrier, the spores stick to the legs and body of the bug and are taken back to the harborage (cracks and crevices where bed bugs hide) where they are spread among the bed bug population by direct transfer. Bed bugs that come into contact with the spores will become infected and die within 4-10 days.) In this way, Aprehend® targets bed bugs both in and outside of their harborages in a single application. The long-lasting spray residue maintains effective control for up to 3 months and can be used to prevent the establishment of bed bug populations in homes, hotels and public spaces as well as for the elimination of existing infestations. www.aprehend.com for more information Call us now for preventative quarterly services 973-800-9605

The answer to this question depends on your mattress’s condition and the size of the bed bug infestation. If there are holes or tears in the mattress, bed bugs and their eggs may be nested inside. So we usually recommend discarding the mattress in this case. But if your mattress is in good shape and the infestation isn’t severe, we carry mattress safe encasements and active guard liners. Both of these products are effective as preventative and proactive bed bug treatments.
Let’s set the record straight… bed bugs do NOT transmit diseases through their bites. They do, however, suck blood from their host with piercing mouthparts, but the bite itself is painless. Bed bugs also do not live under the skin. Their bites often appear as red, itchy bumps or welts on the skin, usually on the arms or shoulders. So if you’re noticing bites like this on your skin, please call us at 973-800-9605 today!
After we treat your home for bed bugs, we recommend that you inspect any used furniture you purchase before bringing it into your home. This is especially true for bed frames, mattresses, and couches. We also recommend that you check for bed bugs in your hotel room while traveling. You may want to inspect or vacuum your luggage and wash any clothing you used on this trip once you get home.
Pricing for bed bug treatments starts at $350 per room. Your exact price will depend on the size of the infestation and how many rooms are affected. So we recommend you call 973-800-9605 to schedule your bed bug inspection today! We’ll check your mattress, box spring, bed frame, head & footboards, furniture, walls, and carpet for these blood-sucking pests.
This depends on the severity of your bed bug infestation. On average, our bed bug treatments take 30 minutes to 2 hours per room to complete. Furthermore, it’s unlikely that all the bed bugs will be killed in the initial treatment, so we recommend two follow-up visits spaced ten days apart. To get an accurate estimate, please call 973-800-9605. We’ll gladly answer this question and any other bed bug questions you have.
We guarantee our bed bug treatment for a minimum of 30 days. Of course, most of our customers enjoy the results of our bed bug treatment for much longer than that. We do offer a Quarterly Preventative treatment!!! We do a great job of assessing your unique situation, implementing a proper solution, and monitoring activity after the job is done! To schedule your service, please call 973-800-9605.

They came right away as promised and took care of the problem. Very pleasant to work with and reasonable rates.– Richard B.
Great job as always. Very reasonable and fast. Ryan has become my go-to handyman lately. Always calls me back ready to help.– G Brusco.
Great Service and results. There were able to eliminate all the tiny centipedes in my basement playroom. I would highly recommend the service.– Phil B.
Ryan is extremely reliable and knowledgeable!! I’ve run into issues with the rodents and insects as a first time homeowner buying a foreclosure that was empty for a while, but any time I’ve called him he was there right away to help rectify the problem. Have recommended him to all my friends or family members. Super nice guy and Best services around.– Brian P. in Franklin, NJ
Needed help with a rodent problem. Unfortunately after calling I found that I was not in their area of service. Even though no money would be made by the company, Ryan took the time to explain to me how to solve the problem myself. He was so kind and helpful that I am sure they must be a wonderful company and that is why I am leaving this review. They are truly a classy operation!– Sandy J. in Franklin, NJ
Ryan was very responsive. Within 30 minutes of me sending my online request he had emailed me back with his availability. He also was also proactive in his guidance on application with the rain. He was prompt on a Sunday appointment and was great at accepting my change order to include an initial pest service. We have found our pest partner. Thanks Ryan!– Monique H. in Franklin, NJ
