Bed Bug Pest Control
Bed Bugs Have Returned
Bed bugs were once eliminated completely in the United States. Unfortunately, bed bugs have made a comeback over the last ten years. The bed bug resurgence is blamed on the increased international travel allowing bed bugs to travel from countries that do not combat bed bugs. Additionally, bed bugs have developed resistance to traditional pesticide applications. This resistance has made establishing control more difficult.
What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
How do you know if you have bed bugs? Only a certified pest control professional can determine the full extent of your bed bug infestation, but there are common signs that indicate a bed bug presence. Finding live, adult bed bugs, bed bug bites, blood spots on sheets or bed bug castings or droppings are signs of pest activity.
Finding live bed bugs is a sure sign that there are more in your home.
Clusters or rows of red, irritated bite sites. Commonly found on the back, insides of the arms, back of the legs and feet.
Small blood stains on your mattress or sheets.
Droppings, shed casings, shed skins and live bed bugs in the creases of furniture.

Aprehend is an effective, non-toxic microbial pesticide specifically designed to control bed bugs. Unlike chemical pesticides, our organic treatment is equally effective on both pesticide resistant bed bugs as well as non pesticide resistant bed bugs.

Bed Bug Control Reviews
We called a Patriot Pest Solutions when we discovered a bed bug infestation in our home and they were simply excellent from beginning to end. We called and spoke with Lynda and she was great on the phone, very knowledgeable and she really helped calm my wife down after the initial shock of discovering bed bugs in our home. The same morning, within about an hour or two after calling, we had James come out for the initial inspection, he was extremely knowledgeable, he quickly assessed the situation and came up with a plan for service. He also let us know what we should and, just as important, should not do in the time prior to service. Finally, Kevin was the service pro that came out to do the heat treatment in the upstairs of our home. He was excellent as well, showed up on time, setup quickly and completed the job thoroughly and effectively. Most importantly, the treatment worked and we no longer have bugs in our home! Now bed bugs are not cheap to get rid of, but Patriot’s pricing was very reasonable considering the nature and severity of the problem and these guys are worth every penny in my opinion. I am not the type to post reviews online, I think this might be the first time I have ever done it, but these guys are that good at what they do and deserve some recognition. If you have a bed bug problem, call Patriot Pest Solutions, they are excellent.
Appreciate thorough inspection and honesty is saying he didn’t find anything and house didn’t need treatment for bed bugs.
Even though I had bed bug bites I didn’t bring them home with me! Dave was very honest in telling me that there was no need to treat, when he could have said nothing and just had me pay for the treatment. He very completely inspected and the inspection was at no cost to me. I appreciated the quick response of the Patriot Pest Solutions team to have my home inspected quickly and their honesty when treatment was not needed.
We called in a panic because we thought we found bed bugs. James was over pretty quickly and talked us off the ledge even before he did the inspection! We were so happy to discover that it was carpet beetles instead! Thankful for his expertise and direction! Hoping we don’t have any more pest problems but if we do it’s good to know we know an honest skilled company to call! Will definitely refer others to them!
Extremely thorough and very informative. My son had been living in an apartment in Center City that became infested with bed bugs. Even though we were very cautious(washing all his clothes etc) he was terrified he may have brought them home. I called another exterminating company who came out and inspected. They found no sign of bed bugs but talked me into a “preventative” treatment for a couple of hundred dollars. Fortunately my son thought that was suspicious and my maintenance man gave me the name of Patriot Pest Solutions. They came out the next day and did a thorough inspection and found nothing. But the best part was they explained all about bed bugs…. where they start, how they multiply, where they move to once there is an infestation etc. They also said that a “preventative” treatment was a waste of money. I was really happy that I called them and would not hesitate to call them again for any pest problem.
Kim answered my call and was very polite and helpful in setting up a prompt appointment. Chad gave me an assessment of my bat situation, and gave easy suggestions on how to chase it away. He even gave me suggestions on how to keep bed bugs from following me home from a trip. I would definitely recommend them.
