Mantis Pest Solutions will perform a thorough inspection of your home and suspected areas of infestation. We will also seek to determine if the bug is a Bed Bug or a “Bat Bug.” 3-5% of all inspections turn out to be “Bat Bugs” and you can only distinguish them by putting them under a microscope. This is very important. If you have “Bat Bugs” you will still need to treat them as if you have Bed Bugs, but you will also need to address your Bat Issue in the attic or the problem will persist. The inspection will also review what needs to be done in preparation for the heat and or chemical application.

We use heat because heat can most quickly eliminate an entire infestation in one day. Once the temperature reaches 120-122 degrees there is no escape for Bed Bugs, their bodies dehydrate and die within 20 seconds at that temperature. The key however, is to make sure to get every area up to that temperature and that takes experience and high tech equipment. At Mantis we use a Heat Trailer by Temp Air that cost $130,000 compared to most competitors getting cheaper trailers and spending only $10,000-$25,000. What that means is your home gets a more verifiable heat. For example, our trailer comes equipped with 36 sensors that give us temperature readouts to our laptop so for each location that we place a sensor, whether it is deep inside a couch or box spring, or the top of a closet, we will know that each location in your home got up to temp and stayed at temperature during treatment. At Mantis, we have Bed Bugs down to a science!

Yes, recent studies show that bed bugs have started to become resistant to certain chemical control methods. Heat however, is full proof in the hands of a trained professional, and with proper preparation by you the customer. Our RestEasy treatment is safe for your home and family and for your belongings.

After we are able to inspect and give you an estimate we can prescribe the best service solution for you and your home and get you on your way to a night where you can RestEasy again!

We are confident in the thoroughness of our RestEasy Trade Marked service. However, with every service we schedule a two week follow up visit to check back and see where things are at. At that point we can assess if there are any remaining Bed Bugs, or perhaps put down an additional chemical application. In our experience most homeowners don’t see any bed bugs after the service, but on occasion if one escapes the heat, or the homeowner or a visitor brings one back in during the warranty period we will come back and perform a chemical only treatment free of charge.
