How to get rid of bed bugs in your home

Bedbugs are tiny parasites that can spread extremely quickly and are often only discovered when the infestation is already significant. They hide in seams, cracks, mattresses, bed frames, behind baseboards, and even in electrical outlets. When it gets dark they come out to bite, causing itching and sleepless nights.

Self-treatment almost never works because bedbugs are resistant, hide deep, and can survive for months without food. Therefore, a professional approach is necessary to completely eliminate the population and prevent re-infestation.

Our approach to bed bugs

Bed bug control at RACO involves a combination of inspection, treatment, and aftercare. This approach offers the highest success rate and ensures that not only adult bed bugs disappear, but also eggs and young nymphs.

We thoroughly inspect all hiding places and treat both visible and hidden areas. After completing the treatment, we provide practical advice to minimize the chance of re-infestation.

From unnoticed infestation to 100 percent bed bug free

Case study: Apartment with incipient bed bug infestation

A single tenant reported to RACO complaining about itchy bumps and small black dots on the mattress. Upon inspection, an early bedbug infestation was found in a one-bedroom apartment.

Situation Upon Arrival

  • Bedbugs mainly around the bed, slatted bed base, and skirting boards

  • The client had been spraying DIY products himself for three weeks
  • During that period, the infestation was visibly increasing

Research shows that a single female bedbug can produce an average of 200 to 500 eggs in her lifetime and lays 1 to 5 eggs daily. Calculated over time, a small infestation can grow into hundreds to thousands of bedbugs within a few months if no professional intervention takes place.

Approach by RACO
  • Thorough inspection of bedroom, living room, and surrounding areas

  • Combination of non-chemical measures and targeted use of professional treatments

  • Clear preparation instructions for the customer, such as washing and heating textiles

  • Inspection and follow-up treatment after a few weeks

Research on bed bug control shows that a combined approach using both non-chemical and chemical methods can result in 58 percent less insecticide use, with equal or better results.

Results by RACO in numbers
  • More than 90 percent of the activity was reduced after the first treatment

  • After the follow-up treatment and inspection, no new activity was detected

  • The total duration of the process was approximately 6 weeks, including aftercare

  • The customer did not have to discard any furniture, resulting in significant cost savings compared to fully replacing the bed and wardrobe

Advantage over other pest controllers

A competing provider had previously only suggested a superficial spray treatment, without clear instructions or follow-up checks. According to various sources, this kind of approach often leads to re-infestations and ultimately requires more treatments, which can make the total costs higher than with a properly structured professional process.

Due to RACO’s structured approach, less chemicals were needed in this case, fewer follow-up visits were required, and the total investment remained lower, while the result was indeed completely bed bug free.
