How Do You Know If You Have Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small (1–5mm), reddish-brown, oval insects that hide in mattresses, furniture, and wall crevices during the day and feed on sleeping humans at night. They are not a sign of poor hygiene — they travel between locations through luggage, clothing, and used furniture.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • error Rust-coloured stains on sheets or mattress fabric — from crushed bed bugs or their excrement
  • error Dark spots along mattress seams, behind headboards, and in furniture joints (dried excrement)
  • error Shed skins (pale, translucent shells) near harborage sites
  • error Itchy bites in lines or clusters on arms, neck, or shoulders — appearing overnight
  • error Sweet, musty odour in the bedroom — from bed bug scent glands
  • error Visible bugs in mattress seams, behind picture frames, inside electrical outlets, or in furniture crevices

Act Fast — Bed Bugs Multiply Quickly

A single female bed bug lays 1–5 eggs per day and up to 500 in her lifetime. An infestation that starts with a handful of insects can grow to thousands within weeks.

Early treatment is significantly easier, faster, and less expensive than treating an advanced infestation. If you see any signs, call us immediately to book an inspection.

How Does the Bed Bug Treatment Process Work?

A clear, step-by-step process with no surprises.

1

Professional Inspection

A licensed technician inspects your mattress, box spring, bed frame, baseboards, furniture, and nearby areas to confirm the infestation and determine its extent.

2

Preparation Checklist

You receive a detailed preparation guide — including bedding, clothing, and space instructions. Do not move items to other rooms; this spreads the infestation.

3

Treatment Application

We apply Apprehend® or chemical treatment to all harborage areas — mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, baseboards, furniture joints, and wall voids.

4

Follow-Up & Guarantee

We schedule a follow-up visit to confirm elimination. If any live bed bugs remain, we re-treat at no charge under the 100% Sanctuary Guarantee.

Bed Bug FAQs

Common questions about bed bug treatment in Ontario.

How do I know if I have bed bugs? expand_more

Look for rust-coloured stains on bedding, tiny dark spots along mattress seams, shed skins near the bed, itchy bites in lines on your skin after sleeping, and a sweet musty odour. If you spot any of these, call us to book an inspection before moving any furniture.

What is Apprehend® and is it safe for children and pets? expand_more

Apprehend® is a biological insecticide made from beauveria bassiana, a naturally occurring soil fungus. It is 100% non-toxic to humans and animals, Health Canada-registered, and has no re-entry interval — your family and pets can remain in the home during treatment. Bed bugs die within 3–7 days of contact.

Do I need to throw out my mattress? expand_more

No. Discarding a mattress can actually spread bed bugs to other areas of your home or building. Our treatment is effective with the mattress in place. After treatment, a mattress encasement is recommended as a preventive measure.

How long does bed bug treatment take to work? expand_more

Chemical treatments begin working within hours and kill most visible bed bugs within 48–72 hours. Apprehend® works within 3–7 days of contact. Full population elimination typically takes 2–3 weeks as eggs hatch and nymphs are exposed to the treatment.

Can bed bugs spread to other apartments in my building? expand_more

Yes. Bed bugs can travel through wall voids, plumbing openings, and under doors to adjacent units. If you live in a multi-unit building, notify your property manager and consider treating adjacent units at the same time. We offer building-wide treatment programs for landlords and property managers.

How do I prepare for bed bug treatment? expand_more

We'll send you a full preparation checklist before your appointment. Key steps: strip and wash all bedding on high heat, bag and seal clothing from treated rooms, clear space around baseboards and furniture, and vacuum thoroughly. Critically — do not move items to other rooms, as this can spread the infestation.
