Know Your Enemy: Bed Bug Life Stages
Bed bugs go through five nymphal stages before becoming adults. Our heat treatment targets every single stage — including eggs that chemical treatments often miss.
Bed Bug — Adult
Flat, oval, reddish-brown, about the size of an apple seed (1/4 inch). Wingless. Feeds exclusively on blood, typically at night. After feeding, becomes swollen and dark red. Can survive months without a meal.
Signs You Have Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are experts at hiding. By the time you see one, the infestation is usually well established. Watch for these telltale signs.
Red, itchy welts often appearing in rows or clusters on arms, shoulders, and neck — typically noticed in the morning after nighttime feeding.
Tiny reddish-brown spots on pillowcases and sheets from crushed bugs or post-feeding blood droplets.
Black or dark brown ink-like stains along mattress seams, box spring edges, and headboard joints — digested blood excrement.
Pale, translucent exoskeletons left behind as nymphs molt through five growth stages. Found near harborage areas.
A distinctive sweet, musty smell in heavy infestations — produced by bed bug scent glands. Often compared to overripe raspberries.
Adults and nymphs hiding in mattress tufts, seams, behind headboards, in nightstand joints, and along baseboards near the bed.
Why We ONLY Do Heat Treatment — Not Chemical
We do NOT offer chemical bed bug treatments — and here is why. Chemical treatments for bed bugs have a high failure rate. Bed bugs have developed resistance to most common pesticides. Chemicals cannot penetrate eggs, meaning you need multiple treatments weeks apart and STILL may not eliminate them. Chemicals also cannot reach bugs hiding deep inside wall voids, furniture, and electronics.
Heat treatment is the only method we trust. We raise the entire structure to 130-140°F and sustain it for several hours. Heat penetrates everywhere — every crack, every crevice, every wall void, inside furniture, inside electronics, inside mattresses. It kills adults, nymphs, AND eggs in a single treatment. No pesticide resistance. No multiple visits. No sleeping in a treated chemical environment.
One treatment. One day. Done. That is the Roberts Pest Control standard. We will not offer a service we do not have complete faith in, and we have zero faith in chemical bed bug treatments.

Prevent Bed Bugs — Practical Tips
Check mattress seams, headboard, and nightstand for signs of bed bugs before settling in. Keep luggage off the bed.
Place suitcases on luggage racks or hard floors — never on beds, upholstered furniture, or carpet where bed bugs hide.
Thoroughly examine secondhand mattresses, couches, and dressers before bringing them inside. Bed bugs love hitchhiking.
Encase mattresses and box springs in bed bug-proof covers. Traps existing bugs inside and makes new infestations easier to spot.
Minimize items stored under and around the bed. Less clutter means fewer hiding spots and earlier detection.
Check mattress seams, behind headboards, and along baseboards monthly. Early detection means easier, less costly treatment.
