Dealing with bed bugs can be overwhelming, which is why our team approaches every situation with attention to detail and a careful, step-by-step process. Our bed bug services in Brockton are designed to fully address the issue and include:
- Comprehensive Bed Bug Inspection – Our experienced technicians conduct a detailed inspection of your Brockton home or business, examining beds, furniture, linens, and other common hiding spots. We’re trained to detect bed bugs even in hard-to-see or concealed areas.
- Initial Knockdown Treatment – After confirming bed bug activity, we schedule an initial knockdown treatment to dramatically reduce the population. This first treatment targets active infestations and helps prevent bed bugs from spreading further throughout the property.
- Scheduled Follow-Up Treatments – Because bed bugs can be difficult to eliminate completely, we typically perform two to three follow-up visits. These treatments allow us to monitor progress and fully resolve the infestation, ensuring no bed bugs are left behind.
- Mattress and Box Spring Encasements – As part of the treatment process, we recommend mattress and box spring encasements. These protective covers help contain any remaining bed bugs, eliminate nesting areas, and reduce the risk of future infestations.

Pre-Treatment Steps
Proper preparation is essential for effective bed bug treatment. Because bed bugs live and feed in areas where people spend the most time, bedrooms, living rooms, and nearby closets must be carefully prepared. Please complete the following steps before your home in Brockton is treated:
- Remove and launder all bedding including sheets, pillowcases, bed skirts, and similar items. Once cleaned, place them in sealed bags. Only the bare mattress and box spring should remain on the bed frame for treatment.
- Clear out clothing and fabric items from dressers, shelves, and nightstands. These items must be cleaned and sealed in bags. Technicians will need full access to furniture drawers to ensure proper treatment.
- Bag loose personal items such as shoes, handbags, and other belongings found on floors, under beds, inside closets, or in nightstands and bureaus. Ask your technician about Nuvan Strips for items or areas that are difficult to treat.
- Remove and clean curtains and drapes. Blinds, shades, and other solid window coverings may remain in place.
- Place plush items like pillows and stuffed animals in the dryer on a full cycle.
- Avoid cross-contamination when laundering by keeping treated items separate from untreated areas.
- Use heavy-duty plastic bags, seal them tightly, and discard bags after each use.
- Ensure all people and pets leave the property before treatment and remain out of treated areas for at least four hours after the service is completed.
- Keep items sealed in bags whenever possible following preparation.
- Remove pictures and wall décor from bedrooms and living room areas.
- Clear desks and shelving units in bedrooms and living spaces so they can be treated properly.
Active Guard Mattress Encasements Available
We also offer the installation of Active Guard mattress encasements. These treated mattress liners are designed to help support bed bug control efforts and reduce the risk of re-infestation when used alongside professional treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are bed bugs dangerous?
While bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause itching, allergic reactions, and in some cases, secondary infections due to scratching. They can also cause sleep disturbances and psychological stress due to anxiety about the infestation -- but they are not dangerous per se.
Can I treat bed bugs myself?
While there are over-the-counter products available, DIY treatments are often ineffective and may lead to further infestation or resistance to treatments. Professional pest control services are more effective because they use specialized equipment and proven techniques to target bed bugs at all stages of their life cycle.
How can I prevent bed bugs in the future?
To prevent future infestations:
- Inspect secondhand furniture and clothing carefully before bringing them into your home.
- Check hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs, such as blood stains or dark spots, before unpacking.
- Encase mattresses and box springs with bed bug-proof covers.
- Regularly clean and vacuum areas where bed bugs could hide, especially around beds and furniture.
