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.

Trey was one of the nicest, most respectful young men we have dealt with. He made eye contact with my husband, was very knowledgeable about the service your company provides, and was very thorough. He took his time and never made us feel like we were asking too many questions, or that he was in a hurry. We truly enjoyed his company and professionalism. My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and was a custom homebuilders for 45 years. Trey talked to Mike with respect and showed a genuine interest in Mike's knowledge of houses. He was also very kind to me, and even though I hit him with a barrage of questions, he was very patient and didn't make me feel like my questions didn't matter. We feel he is a very good representative of your company. You are blessed to have him. More companies need employees like Trey. We received an estimate, are still a little freaked out, but going over what we HAVE to have done and what we can afford. We haven't paid anything yet, but I had to choose a price in order for it to post.

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.

Common questions
