How Liberty treats it

Text or call our office
  1. Inspection

    After you text or call our office, treatment starts with a thorough inspection. Your Service Specialist checks beds, furniture and the rooms around them to see how bad the problem is, how far bed bugs have spread and where they hide, like mattress seams, headboards and clutter near the bed.

  2. Treatment

    • Treat beds and furnitureYour Service Specialist treats mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards and upholstered furniture where bed bugs hide.
    • Treat cracks and crevicesThey treat cracks and gaps along baseboards, outlets and furniture joints near the bed.
    • Vacuum seams and edgesThey vacuum bed bugs and eggs from mattress seams, furniture and carpet edges.
  3. Follow-up

    Your Service Specialist comes back for follow-up treatments as needed, since bed bug eggs can hatch after the first treatment. Bed bugs aren't part of our plans, but a pest control plan, with visits every 3 months, helps keep everyday pests like ants and spiders away.

Trai came out for our initial inspection and was amazing! He provided us with all of the information we needed in order to move forward with booking quarterly inspections/treatment and he was super nice! If our experience with Liberty Pest Control will always be as great as it was with Trai today, then we are definitely looking forward to our future with them! Thank you so much, Trai! 100/10 recommend!

Liberty Pest Control provides wonderful service from start to finish! Their website is easy to use, making scheduling and managing appointments simple and convenient. Our technician, Gabe, was excellent. He arrived on time, was personable and professional, and took the time to walk me through the services he was performing. He was very thorough in his inspection and treatment, and I especially appreciated that he followed up afterward to explain what he found and answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Liberty Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and thorough pest control service!

DIY prevention tips

  • When traveling, check mattress seams and headboards before unpacking, and keep luggage on a rack instead of the floor.
  • Put travel clothes straight into the washer or dryer when you get home.
  • Look over used furniture, mattresses and clothing closely before bringing them home, and run used clothes through the dryer.
  • Keep bedrooms uncluttered so bed bugs have fewer places to hide.
  • Consider mattress and box spring covers made to keep bed bugs out.
