Throughout recorded history, bed bugs have been a notorious parasite affecting the populations of people wherever they reside. In recent years, bed bugs have re-emerged as a health threat across the entire Chicago, IL area because of a combination of several factors. These pests have evolved and developed resistance to traditionally effective pesticides, and increased travel, poor control measures, and increasingly warm global temperatures have contributed to the modern levels of bed bug infestation we must deal with. Even the decreased amount of domestic and international travel resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic has not yet shown a significant impact on infestation numbers.
They have adapted through thousands of years of depending on human habits and behaviors to the point that their bites are not noticed until after the insect has fed on its victim and returned to its hidden nest. They feed at night when it is least likely that they will be detected, and their victims are asleep and not moving.
Our Unique Approach To Treating Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are incredibly hard to find through a simple visual examination. They hide in hard-to-find places and are rarely found moving around in the light. They can go months at a time between feedings and only come out when they sense safety. These pests travel into homes, hotels, and places where people and their luggage and bags are carried. Even the most carefully cleaned home or hotel room can easily be infested if bed bugs are brought in as free riders. They feed exclusively on human blood, and it is the presence of people, not dirt or human food waste, that attracts them.
When they feed, victims may be bitten several times until the bugs are fully engorged with blood, nearly doubling in size. Those bites can cause itchy and painful sores and rashes, as well as other allergic reactions. In addition to the obvious threat to physical health, these pests cause psychological and emotional injury. Even the threat of bed bug infestation causes anxiety, stress, and sleep deprivation.
Hotels or businesses leasing residential property can suffer immediate and hard to overcome reputational damage when bed bug infestation problems become public knowledge. Commercial landlords in Chicago also have substantial legal duties to tenants regarding bed bugs.
Following professional extermination, the best solution for continuing control is prevention. Our expert team will assist you in taking appropriate control measures. Maintaining covers and exclusion materials on and around bedding and linens can reduce bed bug infestations. Overall clothing and linen control can greatly reduce these highly opportunistic pests’ opportunities to travel inside your property from room to room or the outside world.

The answer to this question depends on your mattress’s condition and the size of the bed bug infestation. If there are holes or tears in the mattress, bed bugs and their eggs may be nested inside. So we usually recommend discarding the mattress in this case. But if your mattress is in good shape and the infestation isn’t severe, we carry mattress safe encasements and active guard liners. Both of these products are effective as preventative and proactive bed bug treatments.
Let’s set the record straight… bed bugs do NOT transmit diseases through their bites. They do, however, suck blood from their host with piercing mouthparts, but the bite itself is painless. Bed bugs also do not live under the skin. Their bites often appear as red, itchy bumps or welts on the skin, usually on the arms or shoulders. So if you’re noticing bites like this on your skin, please call us at 708-439-1324 today!
After we treat your home for bed bugs, we recommend that you inspect any used furniture you purchase before bringing it into your home. This is especially true for bed frames, mattresses, and couches. We also recommend that you check for bed bugs in your hotel room while traveling. You may want to inspect or vacuum your luggage and wash any clothing you used on this trip once you get home.
Your exact price will depend on the size of the infestation and how many rooms are affected. So we recommend you call 708-439-1324 to schedule your bed bug inspection today! We’ll check your mattress, box spring, bed frame, head & footboards, furniture, walls, and carpet for these blood-sucking pests.
This depends on the severity of your bed bug infestation. On average, our bed bug treatments take 30 minutes to 2 hours per room to complete. Furthermore, it’s unlikely that all the bed bugs will be killed in the initial treatment, so we recommend two follow-up visits spaced ten days apart. To get an accurate estimate, please call 708-439-1324. We’ll gladly answer this question and any other bed bug questions you have.

The people at Midwest Pest Solutions are so professional. They set up appointments and arrive when they are scheduled to arrive. We had a “mouse problem” as well as problems with bees, and they were able to immediately alleviate our problems. I would highly recommend this company.– Kathleen C. in Oak Lawn, IL
Professional, affordable service was very much appreciated. Very polite & friendly service professional arrived promptly & clearly explained the treatment (exterior perimeter & interior application for large spiders) as well as safety precautions for my pets– Susan Q. in Oak Lawn, IL
Managed to squeeze me in the last min on the same day I called, after seeing a mouse in the house, and was very thorough and informative. He came back to check traps 2 weeks later and was equally knowledgeable about how many mice might be in house and how to potentially stop our ant and spider issue. Knowledgeable about how the weather impacts each potential intruder.– Leonard B. in Oak Lawn, IL
