BED BUG CONTROL

Bed Bug Control in Hood River, OR

Bed bugs are one of the most unsettling pests to deal with. They disrupt sleep, cause itchy bites, and are incredibly difficult to eliminate without professional help. These tiny insects hide deep in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and cracks — coming out at night to feed and then disappearing before you even know they were there.

At Gorge Central Pest Control, we offer thorough and effective bed bug control services throughout Hood River and surrounding areas. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, landlord, or property manager, our team is here to help restore your comfort and peace of mind with proven, safe treatments.

Understanding Bed Bug Infestations

Bed bugs don’t care how clean your home is — they spread through travel, used furniture, shared laundry facilities, and even between apartment units or hotel rooms. Once inside, they reproduce quickly. A single female can lay hundreds of eggs, which mature within weeks if left untreated.

Common signs of bed bugs include itchy bites, small blood spots or rust-colored stains on sheets, live bugs or shed skins near mattress seams or headboards, and a musty, sweet odor in heavily infested areas. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible.

Our Bed Bug Removal Process

We begin with a detailed inspection of the affected rooms and surrounding areas. We check mattresses, box springs, furniture, baseboards, and cracks to identify live bed bugs, eggs, and nesting spots. Once we confirm the infestation, we develop a treatment plan tailored to your situation.

Our treatments may include a combination of methods such as heat treatment to raise room temperatures to lethal levels, chemical applications using EPA-registered products, and vacuuming or steam to remove live bugs and eggs from furniture and seams. We may also recommend protective encasements for mattresses and box springs to prevent re-infestation and make future inspections easier.

Every situation is different, so our approach depends on the size of the infestation, property layout, and your preferences. We prioritize safe, effective methods and always walk you through the process before starting treatment.

Follow-Up and Prevention

Because bed bugs are persistent, a follow-up visit may be needed to ensure complete eradication. We’ll schedule this based on the severity of the infestation and monitor for new signs of activity.

We also educate clients on prevention. Reducing clutter, being cautious when traveling, inspecting secondhand items, and regularly checking sleeping areas can all help reduce the risk of a future infestation. We’re happy to provide specific guidance based on your home or facility.
