BED BUG TREATMENTS


   Bed bugs are a major challenge to property owners and pest control firms that service them.   They pose the risks of health department involvement, lawsuits and public relation nightmares.   Bed bugs can and will spread throughout a building if not treated.   In the case of apartments, a policy needs to be implemented to deal with the inspection of a building without alarming the other residents.
