Questions about bed bug treatment
How much does bed bug treatment cost in Ottawa?
Bed bug treatment is a flat $399 plus HST for your home, including the follow-up treatment and our six-month guarantee.
How many treatments will I need?
Two visits about two weeks apart are standard, because eggs can hatch after the first treatment. You may still see a few bugs for a short time afterwards. That is normal.
Do I need to leave my home?
Yes, for a short time. Plan to be out of the treated rooms until the spray has dried, usually a few hours. Your technician tells you the exact time on the day.
Do I need to throw out my mattress?
Usually not. Treated mattresses can be kept, and encasements trap any bugs left inside.
Can you come discreetly?
Yes. Mention it in the notes when you book.
I rent. Who is responsible?
In Ottawa, treating pests in a rental unit is generally the landlord's responsibility, and tenants are expected to prepare the unit. Please tell your landlord before you book.
