Rest Easy Tonight with Professional Bed Bug Elimination

Dealing with bed bugs can feel overwhelming and stressful. Our bed bug treatment process tackles these persistent pests with precision and care. When you choose Preferred Pest Control for your bed bug services, you're getting a proven system that eliminates these sleep-disrupting pests completely—not just temporarily.

Our Step-By-Step Approach to Bed Bug Treatment

Every bed bug situation is unique. That’s why our process starts with a licensed inspection to pinpoint exactly where they’re hiding — from bedrooms to breakrooms.

Here’s how our treatment works:

  1. Comprehensive multi-visit program: A minimum of three visits spaced about two weeks apart, with additional follow-ups as needed until all signs are gone.
  2. Advanced treatment technology: We use professional-only bio-pesticide and targeted control products that remain active for up to 30 days, eliminating both adult bed bugs and newly hatched nymphs.
  3. Integrated methods for total control: Vacuuming, steam, and protective encasements are all part of the process, along with precision applications to high-risk areas.
  4. Flexible options available: For light activity or budget-sensitive needs, we also offer a one-time service. During your inspection, we’ll recommend the right approach for your situation.

We offer fast, discreet, and effective bed bug treatments for a wide range of properties across Northwest Missouri. Whether it’s homes and apartments, hotels and lodging, multi-unit or property-managed housing, or sensitive environments like schools, shelters, and healthcare facilities, our team tailors every treatment to the needs of each space so you can get back to a comfortable and pest-free environment.

Our Bed Bug Guarantee

We stand behind our results with a 30-day guarantee with follow-up treatments if activity persists on our full treatment program. That means we’ll keep returning — at no additional cost — until your infestation is completely resolved.

Once your space is clear, you can continue to have peace of mind with our Rest Assured Program, offering remote monitoring or routine follow-up visits to ensure bed bugs don’t return.

How did I get these? Can you guarantee they’ll be gone?

Bed bugs often hitch a ride into your home on luggage, furniture, clothing, or even used items.

Preferred Pest is first rate in my book! We had a mouse infestation that they promptly came out and took care of. Greg has been to our home several times on follow up checks and is friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Preferred Pest!

I called, they sent out a very nice gentleman and he answered all of my questions, set the traps and voila, no more evidence of rats. Yuck. They were polite, and didn't try to oversell. Every time I have called them, they have prescribed a conservative approach and it has worked. Would definitely recommend.

A year ago I came home from school with a swarm of yellow jackets in my living room. I called Preferred Pest Control and they came out right away and took care of the uninvited guests. Since then I have had to call for several pest problems and have always been treated kindly from the secretary to the workers. They are very professional and we have been so impressed we decided to get their Preferred Choice package. We are truly grateful for this wonderful company! We highly recommend them for any of your pest problems!

They are great to work with. The technician who did my pest treatment, Jose, was polite, efficient, and professional. For my sake, I hope I never have to need pest control again. But they're who I'll call if I do. Thanks again Jose! Very pleased.
