Your Warranty Protects What Matters Most
When those bed bugs return after treatment, you shouldn't have to pay twice. Our service warranty covers re-treatment for a minimum of 30 days, giving you protection that other companies simply don't match.
If you spot any bed bug activity during the warranty period, we'll return at no additional cost until the problem is completely resolved - because at Preferred Pest Control, we stand behind our work with guarantees that actually mean something.
Powerful Liquid Bed Bug Treatments

Recognizing Bed Bug Infestations in Your Home
Bed bugs can invade any home regardless of cleanliness, creating sleepless nights and uncomfortable living conditions. These small, flat insects feed on human blood and multiply quickly if left untreated.
Watch for these warning signs of bed bug activity in your home:
- Small, dark spots (fecal matter) on mattresses, sheets, and furniture
- Rusty or reddish stains on bed linens from crushed bugs
- Tiny white eggs and eggshells about 1mm in size
- Shed skins as nymphs grow into adults
- Live bed bugs in mattress seams, furniture cracks, and headboards
- Unexplained skin welts or itchy red bumps, often in lines or clusters
- Musty, sweet odor in heavily infested areas
Early detection is crucial as bed bugs reproduce rapidly and can quickly spread throughout your home. These persistent pests are more active during warmer months in our area but thrive year-round in heated indoor environments. Many homeowners attempt DIY solutions only to find the problem worsening, as bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional help.
