How Our Bed Bug Treatments Works
Miller's Bed Bug Removal Process
Bed Bug Inspection
When you reach out for help identifying and getting rid of bed bugs, Miller Pest & Termite will send out a pest control specialist for a bed bug inspection that includes all furniture and other bed bug hot spots.
Once we determine that they are present, we’ll communicate our findings, recommend the best treatment, and explain the limited bed bug prep work needed before we can treat your home or business.
Bed Bug Treatment
To eliminate all life stages of bed bugs, your exterminator will apply a product that creates an invisible barrier both to you and the bed bugs. When these insects cross that barrier, the product will stick to them much like sand sticks to wet feet. Any bed bugs that interact with the product will act as carriers, and any bed bug it comes into contact with will be exposed and eliminated within a few days.
This method is effective at killing bed bugs because it targets not only those looking for a blood meal but also exposes all bed bugs, including those hiding out of sight and reach.
Monitoring & Follow Up
After treatment, your specialist will also install bed bug interceptors to monitor for bed bug activity.
Thirty days after the initial treatment, your professional will return to confirm that the bed bug problem has been successfully resolved.
90-Day Bed Bug Warranty
At Miller Pest & Termite, we're confident that our exterminators will provide the best pest control services. For qualifying properties, we offer a 90-day bed bug warranty. If you find evidence that bed bugs have returned within 90 days of your initial service, we’ll return to eliminate them! You can also add a bed bug warranty for a low monthly fee; please ask us for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bed Bug Control FAQs
These are some common signs of an infestation in your home:
- Visual confirmation: Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown and are about the size of an apple seed.
- Cast skins: Bed bugs shed translucent exoskeletons as they go through the five stages of their life cycle.
- Fecal matter: They leave behind rust-colored excrement, typically found in furniture seams, behind headboards, on carpet edges, or around electrical outlets.
- Musty smell: They smell like old socks when they communicate with one another.
- New bites found after waking up: Red marks on your skin that itch and swell may be from a bed bug. Look for a cluster of 3-4 or in a pattern on your hands, arms, legs, face, and neck as well as other exposed skin.
The majority of bed bug infestations can be prevented by exercising some caution while away from home. Most of us know to check used furniture and mattresses for signs of bed bugs and are wary of bringing them home after a vacation or business trip where you stayed in a hotel that wasn't of the highest quality. However, since the presence of bed bugs isn’t based on cleanliness, you should always:
- Inspect the mattress, baseboards, and any other furniture in the room upon checking in
- Avoid using the floor or an extra bed to hold your luggage
- Don’t unpack from a trip inside the house, but rather outside
- Wash clothing before putting it away after a trip
- If clothes are already clean, put them in the dryer at high heat for at least 15 minutes
- Sterilize your luggage before storing it.
- Before bringing them home, inspect all used purchases, including electronics and other items you wouldn't suspect
If you've discovered bed bugs in your home, there’s no need to throw away your mattress or any furniture for that matter. In fact, it won't solve the problem, as bed bugs hide in carpeting, electronics, and other areas you wouldn't think of. If you're worried about bed bugs, the first step is to contact a pest control company specializing in bed bug control.
