How Backwoods Pest Control Handles Bed Bug Control In Spokane
Before Backwoods Pest Control can get started with your bed bug control services, we will need you to help with some customer prep work. We will provide you with a full list of information, but here are just a few tips to get you started:
- Pick up and sanitize all clothing around the home. You should wash clothes on the highest heat setting possible, then dry them on high heat for at least 40 minutes.
- Vacuum the area around any bedding, furniture, and carpets. When finished, throw away the bag.
- Remove any unnecessary clutter to open up the area and provide access to your baseboards. Please move any furniture if necessary.
Once you've completed these steps, our technicians will begin the treatment process with Aprehend. Aprehend is a natural biological bed bug control treatment that offers three months' worth of protection as long as the appropriate methods are taken. We will apply this treatment in strategic locations to proactively defend your property.
After applying our treatment, it will be time to wait for your results. Please allow the treatment some time to work, and do not clean or remove the spray barriers. If you have any additional questions about our bed bug control, please reach out to Backwoods Pest Control today.

What are the Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation?
Bed bugs can be sneaky pests, but there are some signs you can look out for to detect an infestation:
- Bites: One of the most common signs is waking up with itchy, red bites on your skin, often in a line or cluster. However, not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, so you may not always notice them.
- Blood Stains: You might find small blood stains on your sheets or pajamas. These can occur if you inadvertently crush a bed bug while you're sleeping.
- Dark Spots: Bed bugs leave behind excrement, which appears as tiny dark spots on your mattress, sheets, or nearby furniture. These spots can look like ink stains.
- Eggshells and Shed Skins: Bed bugs molt as they grow, leaving behind empty eggshells and translucent skins. These can often be found in the crevices of your mattress or around your bed frame.
- Musty Odor: In severe infestations, bed bugs can produce a musty odor, often described as a sweet or unpleasant smell.
- Live Bugs: Sometimes you might actually see live bed bugs crawling around your bed, particularly if the infestation is advanced. They are small, brownish-red insects that resemble apple seeds.
- Evidence in Furniture: Check seams, folds, and crevices of furniture near the bed, such as nightstands and dressers, for signs of bed bugs.
If you suspect a bed bug infestation, it's important to take action quickly, as they can multiply rapidly and become even more difficult to eradicate.

Effective Bed Bug Control With Trained Local Experts
Washington struggles against more than its fair share of bed bug activity. With rising populations in major cities, even smaller rural towns are beginning to feel the pressure. And since bed bug treatments only remove established infestations, they don't guarantee prevention at all.
Backwoods Pest Control believes there's a better way to protect your home. As a firm supporter of defense as the best offense, we provide preventative maintenance against bed bug populations to support your property's long-term health. Residential and commercial properties are both eligible for our services, regardless of the building's size.

Can I remove bed bug treatment barriers from around my Spokane home?
In most cases, Backwoods Pest Control will apply barrier treatments in inconspicuous areas. However, if we suspect bed bugs are behind baseboards or electrical outlets, we may apply a two-inch spray barrier on, above, or around these places. You may be able to see these barriers on your wall depending on the refraction of light in your room. Please do not interact with these barriers or attempt to wash them off until all the bed bugs are gone. When left undisturbed, your barrier will remain active for up to three months. However, you can easily remove the barrier with a kitchen or bathroom cleaner (if desired).
-
Will I see live bed bugs after treatment from Backwoods Pest Control?
You may see live bed bugs wandering around your home for one to two weeks once the treatment is complete. However, this is normal. The bed bugs should wander into our bed bug treatment product and expire within a week of contact. If you have any questions about missed areas or a potential re-emergence, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the experts at Backwoods Pest Control.

We have struggled with earwigs in our home and snakes in our yard, even coming into our garage. We tried a door-to-door pest control company for over a year, but they weren’t able to resolve the issue, even with retreatments. My husband called Backwoods Pest Control and Brian came out to do a consult for us and gave us some snake scram granules the same day, knowing we were having a major issue. He was very knowledgeable and outlined a comprehensive plan to help us. We haven’t seen a snake since (we had been seeing multiple snakes each day up to that point). We signed up for the service and less than a week later, Krista came out. She was so friendly and kind and listened to our concerns, making adjustments based on the information we gave her about where we’ve been seeing bugs, etc. She let us know what to expect and was also able to tell us why our past treatments for earwigs hadn’t worked. We already saw dead bugs in treated areas before she even finished treating the rest of the house. We highly recommend Backwoods Pest Control!- Ryan & Katie Petrik
