Bed Bug Control in Farragut

Safe & Effective Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bugs, small oval-shaped insects resembling apple seeds in size, are wingless and feed on both human and animal blood. Typically dwelling in homes, apartments, hotels, and similar environments, they are nocturnally active, biting sleeping victims and potentially causing allergic reactions, skin rashes, and various health issues, though they are not disease vectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I get my crawl space encapsulated in Knoxville?

Every home in Knoxville has a uniquely designed crawlspace, which means the encapsulation process never looks the same between customers. The professionals at Southeast Termite & Pest Control can provide you with an encapsulation timeline after a brief crawl space inspection. Give us a call today to learn more.
Why is crawl space encapsulation important for Knoxville homes?

Open crawl spaces are more widely accepted in northern areas of the US. However, in our part of the country, an open crawl space invites warm, humid air that may cause problems down the road. Excess humidity can be detrimental to a crawlspace’s health, as it fuels mold growth and reduces a home’s air quality. The best solution is to encapsulate your crawl space with the help of experts like Southeast Termite & Pest Control.

How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are nocturnal insects that hide during the day and feed at night. They can be found in mattresses, box springs, headboards, and other areas of your home.

Here are some tips to help you get rid of bed bugs:

Inspect your home for bed bugs: Check the mattress, box spring, headboard, and other areas for tiny, reddish-brown insects or their droppings (small, dark spots).
Wash bedding: Remove all bedding, wash in hot water, and dry on highest heat setting to kill any bed bugs.
Use a mattress cover: Invest in a bed bug-resistant mattress cover.
Vacuum regularly: Remove bed bugs from carpet or furniture; empty vacuum immediately.
Seal cracks and crevices: Caulk gaps around windows and doors to prevent entry.
Call a professional: If infestation persists, seek professional extermination.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

Here are some signs that you may have a bed bug infestation:

Visible Bugs: Look for apple seed-sized, reddish-brown insects with flat, oval bodies, especially on bedding and furniture.
Blood Stains: Check for small blood stains on sheets or pillowcases, a result of bed bugs being crushed after feeding.
Dark Spots or Smears: Bed bug fecal stains appear as small dark spots or streaks on bedding, mattresses, or walls.
Eggshells and Shed Skins: Translucent eggshells and shed skins may be found in hiding spots.
Musty Odor: A sweet, musty odor may be present in severe infestations.
Bite Marks: Red, itchy welts on exposed skin, often in a line or cluster.
Bed Bug Casings: Empty exoskeletons left behind as bed bugs molt.
Rusty or Reddish Stains: Indicative of crushed bed bugs or their fecal matter.
Bed Bug Excrement: Tiny black dots, resembling pepper flakes, on surfaces.

If you suspect that you have a bed bug infestation, it is important to call a professional bed bug exterminator as soon as possible. Bed bugs reproduce quickly, and a small infestation can quickly turn into a large infestation.
