Bed bugs
Bed Bug Treatment Services
Bed bugs are the pest most often treated incorrectly. Store sprays scatter them into neighbouring rooms and neighbouring units, turning one bedroom into a building problem.

What we treat
Bed bugs — what is covered
We treat houses, condos, apartments, student rentals and hotels across the GTA, Hamilton, KWC, Durham & York Region, with a written preparation plan and a built-in follow-up visit.
Treatment aims at harbourage — mattress seams, frame joints, baseboards, seating and adjoining rooms — rather than at where bites were noticed.
- Bedrooms, box springs, frames, headboards and adjoining furniture
- Couches and recliners used for sleeping
- Condo and apartment units, including adjoining-unit checks
- Student rentals between tenancies
- Hotels, shelters and short-term rentals
- Post-treatment monitoring and encasement advice
Signs of infestation
What to look for
- Small rust or ink-coloured spotting along mattress seams and box spring edges
- Bites appearing overnight, often in a line or cluster on exposed skin
- Shed skins or pale eggshell casings in bed frame joints
- A sweet, musty odour in a heavily used bedroom
- Live insects in the piping of the mattress or behind the headboard
- Activity in the seam of a couch used for sleeping
Our process
Inspection, treatment, exclusion, follow-up
- 1InspectionWe check beds, frames, seating, baseboards and adjacent rooms to map where the activity is and how far it has spread.
- 2Preparation planYou receive a written prep list. Preparation is the single biggest factor in whether the first treatment works.
- 3TreatmentTargeted application to harbourage points and travel routes using products registered for bed bugs in Canada, applied to label.
- 4Follow-upBed bug work is not a one-visit job. A follow-up visit addresses newly hatched insects that were still in the egg during the first treatment.
- 5VerificationWe re-inspect the original hot spots and advise whether monitoring, encasements or further treatment is warranted.
Why DIY often fails
What goes wrong without a licensed technician
- Retail sprays are repellent — they push bugs deeper into walls and into neighbouring rooms
- Foggers and bug bombs rarely reach harbourage and can spread the infestation
- Throwing out the mattress alone leaves the frame, baseboards and seating infested
- Untreated eggs hatch after the initial effort, so activity returns in two weeks
- Missing preparation is the single most common reason a first treatment fails
Prevention
Keeping it from coming back
- Inspect hotel bed seams and keep luggage off the floor and bed
- Avoid taking second-hand mattresses and upholstered furniture from the curb
- Use mattress and box spring encasements after treatment
- Check the bed after guests stay or after a move
- In apartments, report activity to management early so adjoining units can be checked

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of bed bugs in an apartment?
Rust-coloured spotting along mattress seams and box spring edges, shed skins in frame joints, bites appearing overnight in clusters, and a sweet musty odour in a heavily used bedroom.
How many treatments will I need?
Most jobs need an initial treatment plus a follow-up, because eggs present during the first visit hatch afterwards. Heavier or shared-wall situations can need a third visit.
How long does a bed bug treatment take?
A typical one-bedroom unit takes roughly one to two hours to treat, with larger homes taking longer. Resolving the infestation usually takes more than one visit because eggs hatch after the first treatment.
I found one bed bug — is that an infestation?
One insect means one confirmed introduction, not necessarily an established population. Capture it in a container rather than crushing it, do not start spraying, and have the sleeping area inspected so the extent can be established.
What areas do you cover?
We serve Toronto and the GTA, Hamilton and Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge and Guelph, Durham Region including Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering, and York Region including Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Newmarket and Aurora.
Do you offer same-day or emergency service?
Yes, where the schedule allows. Stinging insects near entrances, rodents in food premises and bed bugs in occupied bedrooms are prioritised. Call 365-293-5253 for the earliest opening.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every treatment program comes with a written service guarantee. If activity persists inside the guarantee window, we return at no additional charge.
