Bed Bug control in Reno & Sparks
Bed bugs have nothing to do with how clean a home is. They came in on something, and what matters is finding where they're hiding now.

Bed Bugs in northern Nevada
Reno sees bed bugs steadily all year, for reasons that have nothing to do with climate. They don't fly and they don't come in from the yard, they travel on luggage, secondhand furniture, and moving boxes, and this is a city with constant hotel and casino turnover, a student population that moves every August, and a healthy used-furniture market. Once in, they stay within a few feet of where someone sleeps: mattress piping, box-spring frames, headboard joints, screw holes in a bed frame, and the gap behind a loose baseboard. Eggs are largely shielded from treatment and hatch over the following week or two, which is why a single visit so often looks like it worked and then doesn't.
Why it matters
Bed bugs aren't known to transmit disease, so the harm is the bites, the sleep, and the stress of it. Reactions range from nothing at all to welts that take a fortnight to fade, and in a rental or multi-unit building an untreated infestation spreads to the neighbours through wall voids and utility runs.

Bed Bugs questions, answered
Still curious about something? Call us any time, we're happy to talk it through, no pressure.
When are bed bugs most active around Reno and Sparks?
Bed bugs are active year-round because they live indoors where it's warm, so there's no off-season and no weather that helps. What does follow a pattern is arrival: travel and the August student turnover are when most Reno infestations start, because that's when luggage and secondhand furniture move.
Are bed bugs dangerous?
Bed bugs aren't known to transmit disease, so the harm is the bites, the sleep, and the stress of it.
