🛏️ Bed Bug FAQ – LongPro Pest Control

❓ How do I know if I have bed bugs?

Bed bug bites often appear in lines or clusters and may itch. You might also notice blood stains on sheets or small dark spots along mattress seams.

❓ Do bed bugs go away on their own?

No — they reproduce quickly and spread easily. DIY sprays may slow them down but rarely eliminate them completely.

❓ Can I get bed bugs from my neighbors?

Not directly through walls.
Despite common belief, bed bugs don’t easily crawl through walls or vents unless there’s a clear and open path like an unsealed hole, gap, or shared pipe chase.

Bed bugs can’t travel far on their own and often die from overexertion if they try. Most infestations in multi-unit buildings happen when they hitchhike on people, bags, furniture, or laundry, not by crawling room to room.

If you’re in a shared building, always inspect used furniture and keep clean laundry sealed when using shared laundry facilities.

❓ What should I do before a bed bug treatment?

We’ll guide you step-by-step, but generally you’ll need to:

  • Remove clutter

  • Launder bedding  on high heat

  • Remove Bed linen
    We offer a prep checklist with every service.

❓ How long does treatment take?

Our initial visit takes 1–2 hours sometimes less . Full elimination may require follow-ups depending on the infestation level.
