I live in Toronto, and I have bed bugs. What is the most effective pest control method to exterminate bed bugs? Guaranteed bed bug treatment in Toronto.

Many Toronto residents complain about the ineffectiveness of different pricey pest control methods they have tried in the fight against bed bugs. Every day we meet a customer or two who have worked with different pest control companies and have seen bed bugs return several weeks after expensive procedures such as the full house heat treatment.

In this post, we will provide some information about effective bed bug treatments and how to choose a reliable and experienced bed bug exterminator.

What are the factors that determine the success rate of a bed bug treatment? Is it the insecticides used, the dosage of application, physical interventions such as heat, or the application techniques? For sure, all of these could matter in our fight against bed bugs. But the most important factor is the experience of a pest control company in tackling severe cases of bed bug infestation. 

Companies that have tackled high-stage bed bug infestations in places like rooming houses, student accommodations, motels and other establishments and have developed a consistent bed bug treatment protocol could have an advantage over companies that approach bed bugs just like another pest. The truth of the matter is that bed bugs are not just another pest to be sprayed with a common insecticide. Bed bug extermination requires specialized knowledge and practical training. Quick pest control methods such as crack-and-crevice treatment or heating a unit to eliminate bugs is not going to be universally effective.  A bed bug specialist with sufficient experience in handling serious infestations could achieve results that technicians with limited experience in such demanding environments cannot deliver. 

Consistency is important, but an experienced bed bug exterminator also knows that in certain cases customizing a long-established bed bug treatment protocol to account for different variables is the only way the company could deliver strong results in an effective and timely manner. 

Companies that rely on a limited array of insecticides or physical control methods such as heat are often going to run into roadblocks that impede their success. Those methods could work quite effectively for 50-60% of cases, but there will certainly be a sizeable minority of cases in which the results will be an unending cycle of frustrating follow-up appointments as the bugs begin to develop resilience to the conventional treatment methods. 

It should not be forgotten that bed bugs are living organisms with complex biology. Just as not everyone with access to a treatment protocol can successfully treat a patient, not every exterminator with access to insecticides and treatment tools is going to be able to treat all bed bug infestations. Every day, technicians and their bosses will run into situations that require a depth of knowledge and experience and strong analytical skills. The question is, can these exterminators and their employers deliver the results that their customers deserve and expect?

One way to find out is to ask a pest control company what the longest bed bug treatment guarantee they can offer is. At TSR, without hesitation, we can offer our clients a two-year bed bug warranty if they choose to purchase that premium warranty package. That is because we are certain of our success. We know that no matter how bad a particular infestation turns out, our management will be able to provide the expertise needed to achieve a zero-bed bug outcome.
