Bed bugs travel via luggage, secondhand furniture, and shared walls — meaning any Mascot property is at risk regardless of cleanliness. Crawl-space and slab construction is common near the coast, given the high water table typical of Tidewater Virginia. In multi-unit buildings, an infestation in one unit can spread to neighboring units through electrical outlets, baseboards, and plumbing penetrations if not treated promptly.
Bed bug treatment here follows a proven sequence: inspect, treat, verify. Heat treatment at 135°F+ for 90+ minutes is our default for a fast, chemical-minimal result; a combined chemical and heat approach handles larger or recurring infestations. We schedule a 14-day follow-up to confirm the treatment held before calling the job done.
