Because of their high levels of mobility, bed bug infestations are some of the more common pests our clients in Alexandria ask us to rid them of. Contrary to popular belief, a bed bug infestation doesn't mean that a home or office is "dirty" or unkempt. Bed bugs have been known to get into luggage and be brought from overseas, cling onto pets or clothing, or even come in on used furniture.

They are also very hard to detect once the infestation is underway.

While they are generally more of an annoyance than a threat, bed bugs have been known to cause adverse reactions, particularly to those more prone to allergies and skin irritation. This is why we at One Stop Pest Services, Inc. offer some of the most aggressive and comprehensive measures available in all of Alexandria. Our measures include things like heat treatment and fumigation, especially around your mattress and bed frame.
