Bed bugs are expert hiders. Most people don't realize they have an infestation until it's well established. Know what to look for:
If you're seeing any of these signs, don't wait. Bed bugs don't go away on their own — and over-the-counter sprays rarely reach harborage sites deep in furniture and walls. Call Extermco today for a professional inspection.

🛠️ Our Bed Bug Treatment Process
We don't guess — we inspect thoroughly and treat precisely. Here's what to expect when you call Extermco:
- Free Inspection: A licensed technician inspects your mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture joints, baseboards, and surrounding areas to confirm the infestation and map its scope.
- Custom Treatment Plan: We recommend the right solution for your specific situation based on infestation level and home layout.
- Professional Treatment: We use EPA-approved products and proven application methods that reach the harborage sites where bed bugs actually live, not just surface sprays.
- Follow-Up Inspection: We return to verify elimination. Bed bug treatment often requires follow-up to catch any eggs that hatched after the initial treatment.
- Prevention Guidance: We walk you through how bed bugs enter homes and give you clear steps to prevent re-infestation — including what to do after travel.

Schedule Your InspectionBed Bug FAQs — Arkansas Homeowners Ask
How did I get bed bugs?
Bed bugs are hitchhikers, not a sign of an unclean home. They travel on luggage, clothing, used furniture, and even on visitors. Hotels, airports, movie theaters, and public transportation are all common pickup points. Anyone can get bed bugs — it has nothing to do with cleanliness.
Can I treat bed bugs myself?
Store-bought sprays rarely work. Bed bugs hide deep inside mattress seams, furniture joints, wall voids, and electrical outlets — places surface sprays can't reach. DIY attempts often scatter the population and make professional treatment harder. Professional treatment is strongly recommended.
How long does bed bug treatment take?
A standard treatment typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the affected area. Most families can return to treated rooms the same day, following our post-treatment instructions. A follow-up visit is usually scheduled 2–3 weeks later.
Do I need to throw away my mattress?
In most cases, no. Professional treatment can eliminate bed bugs from mattresses and box springs without replacement. We'll advise you honestly during the inspection if a mattress is too far gone to treat effectively.
Is the treatment safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. Extermco uses EPA-approved products applied with targeted methods designed to keep treatments away from high-traffic living areas. We'll give you clear re-entry instructions so your family knows exactly when it's safe to return to treated areas.
Do you serve both Fort Smith and Springdale for bed bugs?
Yes. We have technicians based out of both our Fort Smith and Springdale locations. Whether you're in the River Valley or anywhere across the NWA corridor — Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, Centerton — we have a local team nearby.
