What is The Bed Bug Control Process?

Step 1: Inspection

If you are noticing small blood stains on your sheets or mattress in the morning paired with sudden bodily bites overnight, it is time to figure out what’s going on by reaching out to your licensed professionals at Gladiator Pest Control. Bedbugs can be hard to find, as their small and flat bodies can fit into the smallest seems in furniture and folds of the mattress or other fabrics in the room you would never guess they could be. With decades of experience, our technicians are trained and eager to get to the source of the problem in order to give you the peace of mind you deserve.

We at Gladiator Pest Control even encourage our customers to email over images of bugs they think could be a bedbug for quicker determination by a licensed professional. This saves our customers time and allows us to serve you sooner. If an inspection is needed in person there is a small deposit required for the inspection.

Step 2: Preparation

If you are considering or already attempting to use home remedies or over-the-counter products to get rid of bed bugs, we first ask you to stop or bring all self-treating methods to a halt. We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business, and respectfully wish to save you the hassle, time, and money of attempting and understandably failing to do it alone.

We will need your help in preparing your bedrooms, closets, dressers, etc. for treatment by following our Bedbug preparation sheet linked below:

Step 3: Treatment

With professional technique, equipment, and proper chemicals our technicians will target all treatable furniture including but not limited to nightstands, bed frames, lamps, baseboards, box springs, electric sockets, and much more to get to all of the possible harborages that bedbugs like to be. Gladiator fights to eliminate these pests because we truly care for you and your home to be bedbug free.

Step 4: Post-Treatment

Our service comes with a 60-DAY WARRANTY as we always want to assure that our customers are happy and bedbug free! Customers are advised to reach us immediately if there are any live bedbugs after the initial treatment.

Protect Your Home from Future Bed Bug Infestations

At Gladiator Pest Control, we not only provide effective bed bug control services, but we also offer preventative measures to keep bed bugs from infesting your home again in the future. Our Los Angeles pest control experts can assess your home and recommend the best prevention methods to suit your needs.

Here are some preventative measures you can take to keep bed bugs from returning:

Regularly vacuum and clean your home, paying special attention to bedrooms and other areas where bed bugs may hide.
Seal cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and furniture to prevent bed bugs from entering your home.
Use bed bug-proof encasements on your mattresses and box springs to prevent bed bugs from hiding and laying eggs in them.
Inspect secondhand furniture and clothing before bringing them into your home.
Be cautious when traveling and inspect hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs before unpacking.

By following these preventative measures and working with our expert team, you can protect your home from future bed bug infestations. Contact us today to learn more.

How to Identify a Bed Bug Infestation

Bites on Skin: Look for small, itchy red welts or bumps on your skin, often appearing in a line or cluster, especially after waking up.
Bedding and Furniture: Check seams, folds, and crevices of mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and upholstered furniture for live bugs or molted skins.
Dark Spots on Bedding: Inspect bedding for small dark spots or stains, which could be bed bug excrement.
Musty Odor: Bed bugs can emit a musty, sweet odor, especially in larger infestations.
Eggshells and Shells: Look for tiny, pale yellow skins (exuviae) shed by nymphs as they grow, or translucent eggshells.
Blood Stains: Examine sheets and pillowcases for small blood stains left by accidentally crushed bed bugs.
Fecal Stains on Surfaces: Check walls, baseboards, and other nearby surfaces for dark brown or black stains, which are bed bug feces.
Active Bugs: You might spot live bed bugs crawling on your bedding, mattress, or nearby furniture, especially during the night.
Unexplained Itching: Persistent itching without an apparent cause could be a sign of bed bug bites.

These signs collectively indicate a potential bed bug infestation, prompting the need for further inspection or professional pest control assistance.

Five Benefits of Professional Bed Bug Treatments

1. Increased Effectiveness: Professional exterminators have the expertise to assess the full extent of an infestation and find all the hiding spots of bed bugs. They also use professional-grade pesticides and insecticides that are more effective than over-the-counter options.

2. Improved Safety: DIY methods often involve excessive pesticide use, which can be harmful to your health and your pets. Professionals are trained to handle and apply pesticides safely, minimizing your exposure to these chemicals.

3. Faster Treatment: With their experience and specialized equipment, professional exterminators can complete a bed bug treatment quickly and efficiently, helping you return to normal life sooner.

4. Peace of Mind: A bed bug infestation is stressful. Hiring a professional provides peace of mind, knowing an expert is handling the problem.

5. Long-Term Solution: Many professional exterminators offer warranties on their services. If bed bugs return within a specified period, they will retreat the problem at no extra cost.

How to Tell if I Have a Rodent Infestation?
Mice and rats can enter your property through surprisingly small cracks, making themselves comfortable in attics, basements, and behind your walls. Because these pests are nocturnal, it might be hard to spot them, however, there are a few clear signs to look out for if you suspect you have a rodent infestation, including:
- Tears, rips, or bites in food packaging
- An unpleasant and pungent musky odor—a telltale sign of droppings, urine, or dead rodents in your home
- Small brown or black droppings, resembling the size of grains of rice, around your attic or basement
- Gnaw marks on wires, furniture, fabric, or insultation
- Discolored, greasy streaks around baseboards
I Tried a Store-Bought Pest Treatment and It Didn’t Work. What Should I Do Now?

While accessible at nearly every grocery store or hardware store, not all store-bought pest controls are created equally. Some products use an insufficient level of the chemicals needed to exterminate pests, others are not targeted to specific infestation you are facing—leading to ineffective treatments. For example, using Aerosol won’t work against cockroaches. Additionally, most of the store-bought treatments aren’t endorsed by industry institutions like IPM and the EPA.
So, if you have used a spray, bomb, or trap to zero success, give our team a call. We utilize industry-leading treatments that are targeted to your unique infestation—backing up our services with unmatched warranties.
Do I Need Pest Control in Winter?

Unfortunately, yes. While most flying insects are associated with the summer months, ground pests such as rodents, cockroaches, spiders, and bed bugs seek out the warmth of your home for protection, so many property owners will see a spike in pest activity during winter months if left untreated.
How to Tell if I Have a Bed Bug Infestation?
Bed bugs are incredibly small, making them challenging to identify until you experience the negative side effects of their presence. With over a decade of experience treating for bed bugs, we have helped thousands of property owners identify bed bug infestations.
7 warning signs of a bed bug infestation:
1. You have small, itchy bumps on your body
2. You notice small red or rusty brown stains on your sheets
3. You have recently purchased secondhand furniture and brought it into your home without washing it
4. There appears to be light brown flakes (bed bug casings) on your bedding, furniture, or clothing
5. Dark spots the size of a period on your fabrics
6. You notice pale white circles (eggs and eggshells) around the baseboard of your bed
7. You spot live bed bugs
Why Might it Take Multiple Pest Control Treatments?

The lifecycle of pests is quick and persistent. So, if you are suffering from a particularly bad infestation, it might take multiple visits to ensure there are no hidden eggs or nymphs present. To keep pest infestations at bay, Gladiator Pest Control offers a variety of ongoing treatment plans to help our neighbors avoid these troubling infestations, including quarterly, bi-monthly, and monthly solutions.
