First and foremost - quickly! The longer you wait to get in touch with a professional bed bug exterminator, the larger the problem becomes. Bed bugs will not go away on their own, and can pose health risks to those exposed. Depending on your hired contractor, either a heat or chemical incesticide treatment will be applied to the affected area. HomePro Match will connect you with a vetted, well-reviewed professional who is upfront about which treatment they use, how long it takes, and how it can impact your home.
