Unlike most household pests, bed bugs aren't drawn in by food, water, or climate — they're drawn to people. That means every Berwind property, from a single-family home to a high-rise unit, is a potential target. Housing here is often built into steep hillside terrain, ranging from historic coal-camp homes to more modest recent construction.
Treatment starts with a thorough inspection of the mattress, box spring, headboard, and baseboards to confirm the infestation and gauge its extent. From there we typically use a heat treatment — raising room temperature above 135°F for 90+ minutes, which kills bed bugs at every life stage — or a chemical-hybrid approach when heat isn't practical. Mattress encasements and a 14-day follow-up verification visit are standard.
