THEY'RE OUT FOR YOUR BLOOD.
WE'RE OUT FOR THEIRS.

Few pests prompt such a visceral reaction of disgust as the Bed Bug. These tiny, blood-sucking parasites which feed on your blood as you sleep, are easily the most panic-inducing in the general public. That’s because Bed Bugs have no regard for the environment, cleanliness or economic status of your household. In short, anyone can get Bed Bugs.

Bed bugs are notoriously hard to eliminate without the help of a professional exterminator. The good news is Black Diamond has established specifically prescribed treatment protocols proven to be the most effective at ending an infestation. No one in the industry has more experience, better methods or more effective means of dealing with Bed Bugs.

With our army of highly trained bed bug detecting K9s*, eradication specialists, and inspectors, Black Diamond performs over 20,000 bed bug services annually. We offer both heat and chemical treatments, as well as protective mattress encasements. Contact us today for more information.

Although our general pest solutions cover a wide range of insects, there are some that require a bit more time and attention. For this reason, the following pests do not fall under our general pest designation.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Chemical Treatment

Our highly trained bed bug inspectors will conduct a thorough evaluation of your home to determine the presence and/or extent of bed bug infestation and an appropriate course of action. Unlike most companies, our technicians are singularly dedicated to the art and science of bed bug elimination so you can be confident that you are in some of the best hands in the industry.

Heat Treatment

Internationally certified and are capable of sniffing out the slightest of bed bug infestations. If you are uncertain if you have bed bugs in your home, a K9 bed bug evaluation may be the best option for you.

Mattress Encasements

Mattress covers will not prevent bed bugs, but they will help in the process of ridding your home of these pests. The cover works by trapping the bugs inside so that they cannot bite you any longer, and without a blood meal, they will eventually die. Encasements also prevent more bed bugs from accessing your mattress, giving them less places to hide.

Bed Bug Treatment Frequently Asked Questions

Q:
How do I know if I have Bed Bugs?
A:

There are a number of ways to identify a bed bug infestation:

  • Live insect sighting: Adult bed bugs can be seen by the human eye. They measure from approximately 3/16 to ¼ inches, are oval-shaped, and are reddish brown in color. Young bugs or nymphs are small and whitish-yellow/translucent.
  • Blood spots or fecal waste: Bed bug feces can quickly stain affected surfaces such as mattresses, sheets, upholstered furniture, etc. It appears as small black dots or speckling. You may also see reddish-brown stains from smashed bugs or feeding spillage.
  • Skin casings: Using a magnifying glass, inspect mattress seams and cracks in your headboard, etc. When bed bugs grow, they shed their skin and this small white/clear exoskeleton waste can be found bunched together in such locations.
  • Bed bug bites: It’s not just a goodnight saying. Bed bugs typically feed from humans at night. Look for red bite marks on your skin after you wake up in the morning. These bites can resemble those of a mosquito, but will usually occur in a three-bite pattern. Bites can be mostly painless but may begin to itch after a few days. It’s important to note that not everyone will have a reaction to bed bug bites. An absence of visible bite marks does not mean an absence of bed bugs or that they have not fed from you.
  • For a professional opinion and greater peace of mind, call Black Diamond at 877-DEAD-BUG and we’ll come out and perform an inspection of your home/property to ensure you get the professional service you deserve.
Q:
My house is clean. Why did I get Bed Bugs?
A:

Bed bugs are nothing to be ashamed of and do not indicate a lack of cleanliness in your home or business. Bed Bugs are not the least bit interested in crumbs dropped behind the stove or cake left out on the counter overnight. They don’t care how clean or messy your home is, their primary concern is blood – yours.

Q:
How did I get Bed Bugs?
A:

Bed Bugs are notorious travelers. They and their eggs are often carried from place to place on clothing or through your luggage. You can pick them up anywhere: hotels, movie theaters, schools, etc. Even the most high-end hotels get bed bugs

Q:
Are bed bugs just found in beds?
A:

While named for their prevalence in/on and around the bed, bed bugs are also found in other areas of the home as well. Chairs, recliners, sofas, ottomans, or any place a human may rest can be a potential hiding spot for bed bugs. They are commonly found on seams, sofa cushion zippers, pleats in dust ruffles or curtains, behind electrical outlets, behind pictures or art, between baseboards and flooring, and inside nightstands or dressers.

LAWNCARE SERVICES

Grub Control

Grub worms are the larva of the Japanese beetle, and both are pests to your lawn and landscaping. Grub worms feed on the root system of your lawn which causes severe stress and possible irreversible damage.

Lime Application

Lime is applied to your lawn to help improve the condition of your soil. Most soils around this area tend to be acidic, and this treatment will help reduce the acids in your soil and make the PH more alkaline, ultimately allowing more nutrient uptake in your lawn. Magnesium and calcium, two necessary micro nutrients for your lawn, are also included in this application.

Power Seeding

Also called slit seeding, this is best for bare or very thin areas in lawn. This process involves forcing seed just below the surface of the soil with precise equipment to ensure best seed to soil contact.

Tree & Shrub Spray

Insects frequently feed on trees and shrubs. They can cause unsightly damage and sometimes even kill the plant. Frequent ornamental pests include but are not limited to: aphids, Japanese beetle, bagworms, spider mites, scale, etc. We use specific chemicals labeled for ornamental plants. This service is available as a preventative or curative application(s).

Aeration & Overseed

Aeration is the process of removing "cores" from the lawn, allowing for more air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the root zone. This encourages healthier growth for any lawn. We then over seed the lawn. Aeration and over seeding is suggested for lawns that are relatively healthy. If there are large thin and bare areas power seeding would be suggested for those areas.

Grass Killouts

We will send an experienced technician to evaluate the lawn and determine if a kill out is necessary. If so, we will kill areas desired and quote cost to power seed those areas.
