Tell us about your homeSPECIALIZED BED BUG CONTROL
More than treating the mattress
Bed bugs hide in bed frames, furniture joints, nearby belongings and other small spaces around resting areas. Treating only the place where you first noticed them can leave part of the infestation untouched.
Our approach combines a detailed inspection, treatment of appropriate hiding places and procedures for belongings. We use different insecticide classes to address resistance, with applications limited to the areas permitted by the product labels.
Bed bug control is a separate service from regular quarterly pest control. We inspect and quote each property individually.
What to expect
Prepare, then treat
Follow the written preparation instructions and arrange interior access. People and pets must leave for treatment and remain out for the specified return period.
Check the results
We return about 10 to 14 days after treatment to inspect the results and determine whether additional work is needed for the existing infestation.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
Preparation is part of successful treatment
Make sure the occupant has the instructions
We’ll send written preparation instructions before the appointment. If you’re arranging service for someone else, share them with the tenant, resident or person who will prepare the rooms.
Venus does not perform the preparation. Let us know ahead of time if anything in the instructions will be difficult to complete.
What you’ll need to prepare
Your written instructions explain the exact steps for your service. Expect to:
- Strip bedding from all beds on treatment day and wash and dry it before putting it back.
- Prepare clothing, linens and plush toys according to the laundering and drying instructions.
- Bag or place loose belongings in totes as directed, including items around beds and in dresser drawers.
- Follow the instructions for when to close, open and unpack bags or totes. Different items may require different handling.
- Keep prepared items from returning to bedrooms and closets before treatment is completed.
We can’t perform the treatment if the required preparation hasn’t been completed.
Plan for time away
We need interior access for inspection and treatment. People and pets must leave during treatment and remain out for at least one hour afterward, following any additional instructions we provide.
Treatment can take several hours, depending on the number of rooms and beds. We’ll discuss the expected schedule with you so the household can plan ahead.
COVERAGE FOR THE EXISTING INFESTATION
Three month warranty
If the existing infestation hasn’t been controlled within the warranty period, we’ll return for additional treatment at no extra charge.
The warranty requires following the preparation and bagging instructions. It does not cover a new infestation. Bringing in untreated furniture or reintroducing bed bugs from another location can invalidate coverage.
Your service agreement defines the treatment area and applicable warranty terms.
Not sure it’s a bed bug?
A bite alone can’t confirm bed bugs. Text a clear photo of the insect taken from above, with a coin or ruler nearby for size. Tell us where you found it.
A FEW COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you schedule
How much does bed bug treatment cost?
We provide a bid after inspection because the rooms, beds, belongings and treatment needs vary. Contact us to discuss the property and the inspection before scheduling.
Does regular quarterly pest control include bed bugs?
No. Bed bugs need specialized treatment and preparation. We quote this work separately from regular quarterly pest control.
Do you prepare the rooms for us?
No. The occupant or someone they arrange must complete the preparation. We send written instructions in advance so everyone involved understands what needs to be done. We can’t perform treatment if the required preparation is incomplete.
Will you return after the first treatment?
Yes. We plan an inspection about 10 to 14 days later to evaluate the results. Additional treatment depends on what we find and the terms of your service agreement.
Should I throw away the mattress or move furniture?
Talk with us before discarding or moving belongings. Moving infested items can spread bed bugs, and some furniture can remain part of a successful treatment plan.
Can you help with a rental property?
Yes. We’ll talk with the owner or manager about the evidence, property use, preparation and interior access. Tell us if the property shares walls with other units so we can consider that in the inspection and treatment scope.
Let’s talk about what you’ve found
Tell us the property address, which rooms are involved and what you’ve seen. If someone has already tried treatment, let us know. We’ll help you understand the next step.
