Bed bug infestations have become
a problem in domestic households, hotels, dormitories, and other places of
residence. Because of their small size and propensity to hide within mattresses
and furniture, controlling a bedbug infestation can prove difficult. Because
bedbugs live off of warm bloodied hosts, they like to reside in cracks and
crevices.
Bed bugs can be a very
itchy problem for homeowners! Not only are those annoying, blood-sucking pests
that often reside in mattresses liable to leave you with a rash, but getting
rid of them will cost you some money, too. But how much do best bug control
methods cost and how can you be sure that you’re not being overcharged? Read on
to find out.
DIY
Bed Bug Control Products Cost
DIY bed
bug control products can cost as little as $10 to $20, but many homeowners end
up having to spend much more than the initial investment. This is because bed
bugs usually can’t be completely eliminated with just one spray or DIY
treatment. In the long run, homeowners may end up spending just as much money
on DIY products as they would on a professional exterminator.
Bed
Bug Costs to Exterminate
The
cost to exterminate bed bugs will depend on where the bed bugs are located in a
home, the size of an infestation and a number of other factors. In most cases,
the cost to remove bed bugs in a home will run somewhere between $500 and
$1500.
Factors to Consider when hiring Bed Bug Exterminators & Pest Control
In
order to make sure that you’re not being over charged for bed bug pest control,
be sure to do the following:
1.
Look for an exterminator that charges a case-by-case fee, not a flat rate. There
are a number of ways to remove bed bugs, and the differences between methods
result in differences in cost. Exterminators that charge flat fees are usually
much more expensive because they set a high standard fee that will cover the
cost of any type of bed bug removal method. In order for you to be assured a
fair price, the exterminator must actually inspect your home and recommend
treatments based on the actual conditions.
2.
Talk to more than one pest control professional. While
you do usually need to pay for an inspection, paying the money to have at least
two exterminators look at your property and give you a quote for removal can
help you save in the long run.
3.
Find out what you’re getting for your money. The most effective
bed bug removal methods will involve more than just a heat treatment, freezing
or pesticides. Cleaning, fumigating, steaming and other methods are usually
combined in an effective, comprehensive treatment. If one pest control
professional is charging way less than others, he or she may be providing you
with way less as well.
4.
Ask about licensing and insurance. Make sure that the
pest control professional you are hiring is licensed to do business in your
state and fully insured in case something goes wrong during the treatment.
