O'Fallon, IL's Discreet Bed Bug Elimination Team

K9 inspection or a trained visual inspection can distinguish bed bugs from carpet beetles or other look-alikes with high accuracy — bite marks alone aren't reliable confirmation.

Heat treats an entire room in one visit including eggs, while chemical treatment is often more cost-effective for smaller, localized infestations — we'll recommend based on your inspection results.

In apartment buildings, treating a single unit without checking adjoining ones often leads to reinfestation from next door.

Usually not — certified encasements combined with treatment can save a mattress rather than requiring replacement.

We can arrive in an unmarked vehicle and keep the visit low-profile on request, which matters for renters and multi-unit residents.

Verification isn't optional in our process — a follow-up check confirms elimination before we consider the job done. We always recommend a quick visual check of hotel luggage racks and secondhand furniture, since prevention is far easier than treatment.
