Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

Bed bugs are more than just a nuisance—they can disrupt your peace of mind and compromise your comfort. If you're dealing with these persistent pests, you need a solution that works. At Rafiki Pest Control, we specialize in comprehensive bed bug eradication that guarantees results. Here's everything you need to know about identifying, treating, and preventing bed bugs, along with why Rafiki Pest Control is your best choice for a pest-free home.

How to Identify Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. They are oval-shaped and often hide in cracks, crevices, and folds of mattresses, furniture, and walls. Signs of an infestation include:

Fecal stains (small dark spots on bedding or furniture)
Shed skins (left behind as they grow)
A sweet, musty odor in heavily infested areas

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act fast. Bed bugs multiply quickly, and a small problem can escalate into a full-blown infestation in no time.

Our Proven Bed Bug Treatment Process

At Rafiki Pest Control, we use a combination of advanced techniques and professional-grade products to eliminate bed bugs at every stage of their lifecycle. Here’s how we do it:

Targeted Treatment: We use a combination of heat treatments and EPA-approved insecticides to penetrate deep into cracks and crevices, ensuring no bed bug is left behind.

Home Remedies for Bed Bugs: Do They Work?

While DIY methods can provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the root of the problem. Here are some home remedies you can try, but remember—professional intervention is key for complete eradication:

Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum mattresses, furniture, and carpets to remove bed bugs and their eggs.
Laundering: Wash bedding, clothing, and infested items in hot water and dry them on high heat.
Steam Treatment: Use a steam cleaner to kill bed bugs hiding in cracks and crevices.
Diatomaceous Earth: Apply this natural powder to areas where bed bugs travel to dehydrate and kill them.
Mattress Encasements: Use protective covers to trap and starve bed bugs.

For severe infestations, contact Rafiki Pest Control for professional assistance. Our experts will ensure your home is bed bug-free for good.

Preventing Future Infestations

Prevention is the best defense against bed bugs. Here are some tips to keep them at bay:

Minimize Clutter: Reduce hiding spots by decluttering your home.
Regular Inspections: Check for signs of bed bugs regularly, especially after traveling.
Protective Covers: Use mattress and box spring encasements to prevent infestations.
Be Cautious When Traveling: Inspect hotel rooms and luggage for bed bugs before returning home.
