Powerful Bed Bug Liquid Treatment
Our professional exterminators apply Aprehend® Bio-pesticide technology as the cornerstone of our bed bug treatment strategy. This EPA-registered formula creates an invisible barrier that bed bugs cross as they move through your home, picking up fungal spores that eliminate entire colonies within days. The treatment remains effective for up to three months, targeting all life stages from eggs to adults.

- Continues working for up to 90 days after application
- Requires fewer visits than traditional chemical treatments
- Eliminates resistant bed bugs that survive other treatments

- Targets bed bugs even in their hiding spots
Our certified technicians follow a comprehensive three-visit protocol to ensure complete eradication.

Our bed bug specialists are ready to explain how this revolutionary approach can solve your infestation problems.
Bed Bug Warning Signs Every Homeowner Should Know
Bed bugs are small but resilient invaders that can quickly turn a comfortable home into an uncomfortable situation. While these nocturnal insects are masters at hiding, they leave behind telltale evidence of their presence that can help you identify an infestation early.
Watch for these common bed bug warning signs in your home:
- Dark rust-colored stains on mattresses and sheets from crushed bugs
- Small black dots (excrement) on bedding or furniture
- Tiny pale yellow eggshells or shed skins in mattress seams
- Live bed bugs in folds and crevices of beds and furniture
- Itchy, red welts on skin, often in lines or clusters
- Sweet, musty odor in rooms with heavy infestations
Early detection can make all the difference between a minor issue and a major problem. Bed bugs multiply rapidly, with females laying up to five eggs daily. In our area, these pests remain active year-round thanks to heated homes, though we often see more cases in summer and early fall when travel increases. Don't wait until you're dealing with a widespread infestation – Preferred Pest Control's multi-step treatment approach targets these persistent pests at every life stage for complete elimination.
