Bed bugs are small insects that hide in mattresses, bed frames and furniture and feed at night. They spread easily through travel, used furniture and shared walls. Empire Wildlife Control inspects and treats bed bugs and helps you prepare for the best results.

Signs of Bed Bugs
- Itchy bites in lines or clusters, often on arms, legs or neck
- Small rust-coloured or dark spots on sheets and mattress seams
- Tiny pale shells or eggs in seams and cracks
- Live reddish-brown bugs about the size of an apple seed
How Bed Bugs Spread
Bed bugs travel in luggage, bags, clothing and used furniture. In apartments and condos they can move between units. Having bed bugs has nothing to do with how clean your home is.
How We Treat It
Bed bugs are hard to get rid of with store products because they hide deep in cracks. We inspect the bedroom and nearby areas, confirm the infestation, explain the plan and price, and treat. We’ll give you a preparation checklist, and follow-up visits are often needed to make sure they’re gone.
Prevention Tips
- Check hotel beds and luggage racks when you travel
- Inspect used furniture before bringing it home
- Wash and dry clothes on high heat after trips
- Use mattress encasements
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
It’s very hard. Bed bugs hide in tiny spaces and eggs survive many store products. Professional treatment gives the best chance of fully clearing them.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on how bad it is. Most homes need more than one visit.
