This pest gets its name from the fact that it is usually found near beds, but they can also be found on everything from furniture to movie theatre seats. This is because bed bugs need the blood of warm-blooded animals to survive.

When you tell someone to sleep tight and not let the bed bugs bite, you never actually imagine real bugs could be lurking just beneath the surface of their mattress. Unfortunately, these pesky and intrusive insects are all too real, and they can be a waking nightmare for anyone who experiences them.
At North Mississippi Pest Control, our pest control solutions include bed bug extermination and prevention. We strive to provide everything residents in Southaven, MS, need, and our pest catalog covers an extensive range of pests common throughout the area, including bed bugs.
Bed bugs are small, red or brown in color and difficult to detect due to their extremely small size. You might not even actually see the bugs but instead notice the red, itchy bites on your skin. They feed off blood, so these pests are a threat to humans and pets. They are small enough to fit into virtually any space, which makes it easy for them to invade your home through suitcases, clothing and even cracks in your house’s exterior.
Bed bug bites are not deadly, nor do they cause any diseases, but their bites do cause some physical discomfort and may cause allergic reactions. No one wants to have invasive insects feeding off them, let alone in their own beds. Our exterminators will quickly respond to your call and identify where bed bugs are in your home. From there, they’ll come up with the right plan to thoroughly remove them from your property.
The most common sign of a bed bug infestation are small bites on your skin. The bugs are nocturnal, so you’re not likely to see them crawling around during the day. You may, however, notice their shed exoskeletons on your mattress or red stains on your sheets. There could also be a strange, musty scent near the source of the infestation.
One of our professional pest control technicians will inspect your bedroom for signs of bed bugs. They typically reside in or around the mattress and other bedroom furniture. Bed bugs don’t like the light, so you won’t be able to easily identify them on your own. We can closely evaluate the problem area and check not only your bedroom but other areas in the house where bed bugs are likely to take residence.
After we confirm the presence of the bugs and identify the size of your infestation, we’ll come up with a personalized bed bug treatment plan. This includes state-of-the-art heat treatments that kill bugs in 24 hours, as well as chemical treatments.
There are over 300 products approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to kill bed bugs; we make our recommendations based on your home, the safety of you and your pets and your budget. Ultimately, our goal is to not just kill bed bugs once but eliminate the potential for future infestations.
