  • Why do I have bed bugs if I'm not a dirty person?

    Having bed bugs is not a reflection of cleanliness in your home or vehicle. These pests are attracted to their food source, not the cleanliness of their environment. In fact, according to the Cleveland Clinic, an estimated one in every five Americans has either had a bed bug infestation in their home or knows someone who encountered bed bugs before. When you need to get rid of these burdensome pests, call our bed bug exterminator today!

  • Do I have to worry about diseases with bed bugs?

    Bed bugs, distinct from other parasites that feed on blood, are not known to transmit any diseases. For a bed bug treatment you can rely on, call Bed Bug Busters By Ellington Management LLC today!

  • What are bed bugs?

    Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They are oval, flat, and about the size of an apple seed. They are active at night and bite the exposed skin of sleeping humans. They hide in the cracks and crevices of beds, box springs, headboards, and bed frames during the day. Bed bug infestation can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and psychological distress. Don't live with these bugs one more minute - call Bed Bug Busters by Ellington Management LLC today to discuss our highly effective treatment method with an expert bed bug exterminator.

  • Where did bed bugs come from?

    ResearchGate states that during the 18th Century, bed bugs made their way onto American soil via ships arriving from Europe. By the 20th Century, most Americans had seen and been bitten by bed bugs. However, with diligence and the use of pesticides, bed bugs had almost been eliminated. You can now rely on a bed bug treatment to keep these pests from your property!

  • Why are bed bugs still an issue, and why are we hearing more about them?

    Unfortunately, techletter.com claims that the bed bug made a comeback in the late 20th century, showing up in hotels and motels during the 1990s. This resurgence has steadily increased. Today, the bed bug population has reached exponential numbers throughout America. Much of this is a result of increased international travel, buying second-hand or vintage furniture, the increasing resistance to multiple types of pesticides including DDT, and the lack of community awareness or knowledge of the bed bug. For more information, give our bed bug exterminator a call!

  • How do I know if I have bed bugs?

    Look for physical signs, such as bites, bloodstains, or black fecal spots on bedding and furniture. You may also see small white dots (eggs), the exoskeletons they shed, or the bed bugs themselves. If you notice any of these signs, give our bed bug exterminator a call as soon as possible!

  • Are there health risks associated with bed bugs?

    Aside from skin irritation from bites and anxiety from knowing that you have bed bugs, there are no major health risks associated with bed bugs since they don't transmit diseases. Simply call for a bed bug treatment to alleviate the stress and skin irritation!

    Do not try to treat on your own. This could make the matter worse. Always call your local bed bug exterminator. We specialize in the one treatment that is guaranteed to kill bed bugs at all of their life stages!

  • What is your treatment method?

    Our bed bug exterminator uses something called thermal remediation. It’s a one-day process where we use special heaters to warm the home to a level that is lethal to bed bugs but safe for your furniture and belongings. Fans then circulate the heat throughout the home, reaching all the places the bed bugs love to hide. No prep is needed and everything in the home is treated!

  • What else should I know about bed bugs?

    Bed bugs can happen to anyone; the rich, the poor, the clean, the dirty, in homes, apartments, cars, you name it. People would rather say that they have roaches than say they have bed bugs, but we’d love to stop the stigma. There is no shame in having bed bugs. Reach out for bed bug treatment instead of keeping it to yourself. We’re here to help and bring you peace of mind.
