Bed bugs are more than just a nuisance — they disrupt sleep, cause stress, and spread fast. At Andy’s Pest Troopers, we understand how overwhelming an infestation can feel. That’s why we offer compassionate, professional, and highly effective bed bug treatment options to eliminate the problem and help you rest easy again.
Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that hide in mattresses, furniture, and cracks during the day — then come out at night to feed. Their bites can cause itchy welts, allergic reactions, and sleepless nights. These pests spread easily through travel, secondhand furniture, and even shared walls in apartments or hotels.
If you’ve noticed bites, blood spots on sheets, or tiny black specks along mattress seams, it’s time to call the professionals.
Our trained technicians inspect mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and hidden crevices to confirm infestation, assess severity, and identify spread. During some stages of the bedbug lifecycle, they are nearly impossible to detect by the untrained eye.
Every infestation is unique, so we tailor our approach to your home’s needs. Based on the inspection findings and your unique circumstances, we recommend the most effective treatment plan.
We treat all high-risk areas, not just where bugs are seen, to eliminate live insects, eggs, and hidden clusters.
We also provide clear preparation and cleanup instructions to make sure the treatment works as effectively as possible.
One or more follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor treatment effectiveness and address any lingering activity.
After treatment, we provide clear instructions to reduce the risk of reinfestation.

We treat every home as if it were our own — with respect, care, and attention to detail.
A bed bug has 6 legs. Its antennae point forward and are about half as long as the body—not longer. Its head is broadly attached to its body and it has no wings. Color: A “drop of blood with legs” is probably a recently fed bed bug. It will be red, plump, and oval. After it digests its meal, it’ll be mahogany-colored, round, and flat. Unfed nymphs are tan. Eggs are oval, white, and stick to whatever they’re laid on. Size: You can see the adults—they’re about 1/4” long. Eggs and just-hatched nymphs are tiny: 1/16” (1mm) long—the size of the “R” in “LIBERTY” on a penny. They’ll plump up after feeding—just like a mosquito.
•Life Stages: Eggs hatch into nymphs. Newly hatched nymphs are tiny—about 1/16th of an inch.
•Nymphs—which look like small adults—become adults in 5 weeks. They go through 5 molts to reach adult size—meaning they shed their old, smaller skin 5 times. They must feed before each molt.
•Females can produce 5-7 eggs per week, laying up to 500 in a lifetime.
•Bed bugs grow fastest and lay most eggs at about 80°F.
•They feed only on blood or “blood meal”.
•They feed when people are sleeping or sitting quietly, often when it’s dark.
•They seek shelter in cracks and crevices when not feeding.
•They poop out “blood spots.” Spots look like dots made by a fine felt-tipped marker. You’d see them near where they fed and near their hideouts.
•Adults can live over a year without a meal.
•Adults, nymphs and eggs can survive sustained heat and cold if given time to adjust.
•Can be found in the cleanest of clean places. But clutter makes them harder to get rid of.
•They have no “grooming behavior”—meaning that insecticides meant to be swallowed by roaches and flies won’t work on bed bugs.
They are not known to spread disease, but their bites can cause allergic reactions and their presence causes anxiety, sleep issues, and embarrassment.
DIY methods rarely work long-term. Bed bugs hide in hard-to-reach areas, and improper treatment can drive them deeper into walls or furniture.
Look for small reddish stains on your sheets, dark specks along seams, or itchy bites in rows or clusters.
