Bed Bugs Treatment in Winnipeg

Licensed professional treatment for bed bugs in Winnipeg and Manitoba. Transparent pricing. Thorough inspection. Guaranteed results.

🔍 How we inspect for bed bugs

Our technician performs a systematic room-by-room inspection using a high-intensity flashlight and inspection pick. We dismantle bed frames and examine all joints, check mattress and box spring seams (primary harborage for 70% of populations), inspect behind headboards, examine all electrical outlet plates and picture frames, pull back carpet at perimeter edges, and check furniture joints. ClimbUp interceptors placed under bed legs confirm active infestation levels.

⚠️ Signs you have bed bugs

Our technicians are trained to identify both obvious and subtle indicators of bed bugs activity:

  • Small rust-coloured bloodstains on bedding or pillowcase
  • Dark fecal spots on mattress seams, headboard, or baseboards
  • Live bugs (apple-seed sized, flat, reddish-brown) in mattress seams
  • Itchy, cluster-pattern bites — often in a line
  • Shed exoskeletons (translucent gold skins) in seams
  • Sweet, musty odour in heavily infested rooms

🧪 How we treat bed bugs

APC's bed bug spray treatment targets every harborage area in each treated room: mattress and box spring seams, bed frame joints, headboard, all baseboards, behind outlet plates, and furniture joints within 1.5m of the sleeping area. We use a combination of contact-kill pyrethroid spray, neonicotinoid spray (in rotation for resistance management), and silica aerogel dust in wall voids. Mattress and box spring encasements are strongly recommended. A follow-up inspection at 10–14 days is included to catch any newly hatched eggs.

Treatment timeline

Day 1: Treatment (2–4 hours). Day 10–14: Follow-up and re-treatment if needed. Weeks 4–6: Clearance confirmation for multi-unit buildings.

🏠 DIY prevention tips

While professional treatment is required for active infestations, these steps help prevent future problems:

  • Encase mattress and box spring in bed-bug-proof covers immediately
  • Wash all bedding weekly at ≥60°C and dry on high heat for 30 minutes
  • Reduce clutter to eliminate harborage sites
  • Inspect all secondhand furniture before bringing inside
  • When travelling: inspect hotel mattress seams and store luggage on metal racks
