Choose bed bug specialists over generalists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all pest control companies are the same. Some deal with rodents, mosquitoes, fleas, cockroaches, etc., but are not familiar with the specifics of bed bug treatment.

is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A guarantee of effectiveness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A true bed bugs specialist has a thorough understanding of the insect&#8217;s behaviour: its hiding places (mattresses, bed bases, furniture, skirting boards), its nocturnal habits and the resistance of its eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unlike a \u2018generalist\u2019 pest controller, they do not simply spray an anti-bedbug product, but implement a comprehensive treatment strategy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>accurate visual diagnosis or canine detection,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>identification of risk areas (beds, sofas, textiles, frames, walls),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>meticulous preparation of the home (clearing out, isolating clean items in airtight boxes or bags, removing loose wallpaper, filling cracks, dismantling beds and bed bases, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>combination of several control methods (heat, steam, vacuuming, selective professional product).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-background is-layout-flex
