Bed bugs travel via luggage, secondhand furniture, and shared walls — meaning any Tickfaw property is at risk regardless of cleanliness. Housing here often sits on raised or pier foundations to manage flood risk, ranging from historic homes to newer construction. 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.
