Get Rid of Bed Bugs for Good

Dealing with bed bugs can disrupt your home life and leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own space. At Preferred Pest Control, we've developed a methodical approach that targets these persistent pests where they hide. Our effective bed bug treatment in Smithville doesn't just address the symptoms—it solves the problem at its source.

Our Proven Bed Bug Elimination Process

We start with a professional inspection to locate every hiding spot:

  1. Comprehensive multi-visit program with three scheduled treatments spaced two weeks apart
  2. Advanced bio-pesticides designed for long-lasting protection
  3. Integrated control methods, including vacuuming, steam treatments, and protective encasements
  4. Targeted applications to high-risk areas where bed bugs congregate
  5. Follow-up visits until all signs of activity are completely eliminated

Our licensed technicians don't just spray and leave. We track progress between visits and adapt our approach as needed, ensuring your bed bug problem is solved completely, not just temporarily.

Your Bed Bug Warranty Makes All The Difference

When bed bugs strike, our multi-visit guarantee has you covered with treatment visits until they're completely gone—not just for a limited period. Many companies charge extra for return visits while we include them as part of our comprehensive program, saving you money and worry.

Our warranty even covers specific retreatment zones if bed bugs reappear, and we never leave you hanging with "one-and-done" treatments that other providers might offer.

Professional Liquid Bed Bug Treatments That Work

Our bed bug treatment process combines powerful liquid applications with innovative Aprehend® Bio-pesticide technology. This EPA-registered formula uses fungal spores that bed bugs pick up as they crawl through treated areas, effectively eliminating entire colonies within days. The residual protection continues working for up to three months, ensuring complete eradication.

Preferred Pest Control chooses Aprehend® treatments because:

  • Comprehensive three-visit protocol targets all life stages
  • Creates a long-lasting barrier for ongoing protection
  • Strategic application reaches hidden bed bug harborages
  • Works against even pesticide-resistant bed bugs

When you work with our certified bed bug exterminators, you get proven results backed by decades of experience. Our technicians understand your concerns and are ready to explain exactly how our professional bed bug treatment will solve your specific situation.

Homeowner's Guide to Bed Bug Warning Signs

Discovering bed bugs early can save you from a full-blown infestation. These nocturnal pests multiply quickly, hiding in mattress seams, furniture cracks, and even behind wallpaper during the day.

Look for these telltale signs that bed bugs have moved in:

  • Small rust-colored bloodstains on sheets and pillowcases
  • Dark spotting (bed bug excrement) on mattresses and nearby surfaces
  • Shed skins and eggshells in mattress seams and furniture joints
  • Live bed bugs in cracks, electrical outlets, and furniture crevices
  • Unexplained itchy welts, often appearing in lines or clusters on the skin
  • Sweet, musty odor in heavily infested rooms

Many homeowners mistake bed bug bites for other insect bites or skin conditions, allowing these persistent pests to establish larger populations. In our area, the problem can worsen during colder months when increased indoor heating creates ideal breeding conditions. Bed bugs can hitchhike on luggage, used furniture, and even clothing, making vigilance essential year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prevent bed bugs from coming back?

Yes. Following treatment, using mattress and box spring encasements and enrolling in our Rest Assured program can help provide ongoing protection and monitoring.

Can you service apartment buildings or commercial properties?

Yes. We regularly work with property managers and businesses across Northwest Missouri to design discreet, effective bed bug control programs.

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. While they are tricky pests, our comprehensive bed bug treatment targets all life stages and is designed to eliminate entire colonies. We offer a 30-day guarantee, and with our follow-up visits and optional Rest Assured program, you can have confidence that your bed bug problem will be fully addressed.

How long before I see results?

Bed bugs are targeted at all life stages, so you’ll typically see a reduction after the first visit, with full elimination achieved over the course of the three-visit treatment plan.

How long does the bed bug treatment take?

Most appointments last 3–8 hours depending on home size and infestation level.

How many visits are included?

Our full treatment includes a minimum of three visits, spaced two weeks apart, with additional visits if needed until the issue is resolved.
