Bed Bugs

🐛 Bed Bug Control in Edmonton

Science meets care at Vero Pest & Environment.

Bed bugs can happen to anyone—they’re not a sign of uncleanliness, just bad luck. We’re here to help you restore safety and peace of mind with science-based, compassionate care that truly works.

🕵️ Identify

Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects, about the size of an apple seed.

Signs to look for:

• Small, itchy red bites (often in lines or clusters)

• Dark spots or blood stains on bedding

• Shed skins or tiny white eggs near furniture seams

Tip: Don’t move items between rooms—bed bugs hitchhike easily.

🔍 Assess

We inspect your home or business to determine the severity of the infestation and identify environmental or social challenges—such as disability, mobility limits, or access barriers—that may affect treatment success.

🧺 Prepare

We’ll guide you through simple prep steps to make treatment as effective as possible:

• Wash and dry bedding and clothing on high heat

• Reduce clutter near sleeping areas

• Move furniture slightly from walls

• Place cleaned items in sealed plastic bins

We’ll adapt the plan to your needs and provide a detailed checklist.

⚙️ Control

Our primary treatment uses Apprehend, a biological pest control agent that provides up to three months of residual protection. Apprehend is a natural spore-based product that eliminates bed bugs safely and effectively as they move through treated areas.

For severe infestations or challenging environments, we may also integrate:

• Targeted chemical treatments for rapid population knockdown

• Spot heat or steam treatments for localized control of eggs and clusters

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to combine biological and physical methods for lasting results

Every treatment plan is customized to your needs, prioritizing both effectiveness and safety.

⏱ Duration & Expectations

Bed bug elimination times vary with the level of infestation and living conditions:

• Light infestations: usually resolved within 2–3 weeks

• Moderate to severe cases: often controlled within 4–6 weeks when prep and access are optimal

• High-challenge cases (e.g., cluttered or high-turnover environments): may need extended monitoring

Because Apprehend continues to protect for up to 90 days, long-term success rates are high with minimal disruption to your life.

🔄 Monitor

We return for follow-up inspections to confirm complete elimination and ensure continued protection. Bed bug monitors or interceptors may be installed to track success and prevent reinfestation.
