The mere mention of bed bugs is enough to send most homeowners into a panic, thanks to a resurgence of these blood-sucking pests in recent years. With more than 30 years of experience in bed bug detection and elimination, Select Pest Control helps residents in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio, area get rid of these bugs before the infestation gets worse.

Bed bugs are tiny pests that feed on blood without transmitting or spreading diseases. They are commonly found in mattresses and other bedding, where they hide in small corners and crevices until they venture out to feed—usually at night when their prey is sleeping. The increase in bed bugs in American homes and hotels seems due to an increase in travel, increased resistance to pesticides, and lack of knowledge about their colonies. It only takes a few weeks for a few bed bugs to multiply into tens of thousands.

However, there are ways to control these outbreaks. Pest control companies have developed proven practices of detecting and eliminating bed bug infestations from homes and businesses. One method is through the use of bed bug dogs. At Select Pest Control, Rocco is a four-legged member of the team who has been trained to detect the scent of bed bugs and their eggs.

Because bed bugs can also be found in sofas, chairs, closets, and other furniture, Rocco goes from room to room until he picks up the scent of all of the bugs. He then alerts their certified technicians, who will then develop a plan to terminate the tiny pests. Select Pest Control works with homeowners to prepare their homes for treatment and take the best means necessary to remove the bed bug infestation.
