Residential Bed Bug Control

Bed Bug Help For Homeowners In The Midwest

It's true: Bed bugs are back.  And more bad news: the majority of the field populations appear to be resistant to today's common pesticides.  There is some good new; we can rid your home of bed bugs using heat.

Work With An Industry-Leading Bed Bug Control Company

At Plunkett's we are an industry leader in the use of heat to treat homes and apartments for bed bugs.  Minneapolis has been in the forefront of the bed bug resurgence in the United States.  Plunkett's team knew years ago what scientists are now confirming- most bed bug populations show resistance to today's common pesticides.  We began treating homes and apartments using heat in 2007,  Since then, Plunkett's has built one of the largest heat treatment fleets in the country.  More than a dozen well regarded pest control companies from all over the U.S. and Canada have visited Minneapolis to learn how to treat for bed bugs.

One And Done Service For Bed Bugs

For many, learning they have bed bugs at home is a nightmare that makes a good night's sleep impossible.  Our in-home, intensive heat treat service means that within one day the resident can go from fully infested to bed bug free.  The heat treatment lasts all day long and the residence, while warm at the day's end, can be bed bug free.

About Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are notoriously good hitchhikers who rely exclusively on mammalian blood for their survival. Bed bugs are nighttime pests that like to hide during the day and can be found in many parts of the home including;

• Mattresses & Box Springs
• Furniture Crevices
• Bed Frames
• Under Rugs & Floors

Although bed bugs are hard to detect, bed bug infestations can be identified by blood stains on your sheets, tiny red bites on your skin upon waking, molted or shed bed bug skins and dark spotting indicating excrement on mattresses or bed frames.  Most people never know how bed bugs go into their home.  They can hitchhike in luggage or on used furniture.  If you believe your home or cabin has been infested by these elusive pests then Plunkett’s Pest Control can help you get rid of bed bugs.

Residential Bed Bug Control For Homes, Apartments & Cabins

Our residential bed bug control is highly effective yet environmentally safe and consists of eliminating bed bugs using heat treatments. We never use bug bombs, foggers or sprays on bed bug as we know they will have little effect and often times leave a residual pesticide behind. As a national industry leader in bed bug heat treatments, our bed bug specialists are thoroughly trained and will bring equipment and sensors to your home to warm everything up to a constant temperature that is lethal for bed bugs but still safe for the building and personal belongings. While this bed bug removal method is non-invasive a degree of untidiness must be achieved to ensure all bed bugs are eradicated.  Remember, bed bugs hide everywhere- in your shoes, your alarm clock, your child's teddy bear, clothes hangars... anywhere you could hide a piece of confetti.  Mattresses may have to be stood up on end, drawers opened and stuffed closets must be emptied.  We guarantee that we will heat the dwelling and everything in it up to 135 or more and hold it for at least 2 hours. We'll give you the temperature read-outs of your heat treated dwelling in 30 minute increments over the 7+ hours we heat the area for confirmation of sufficient heat. (5 minutes at 122 degrees will kill all stages of bed bug life.)
