Throughout recorded history, bed bugs have been a notorious parasitic pest affecting populations wherever they reside. In recent years, bed bug infestations have re-emerged as a serious health and property concern across the entire Chicago area due to a combination of several factors. These pests have evolved and developed resistance to traditional bed bug treatments, while increased travel, poor pest management, and rising global temperatures have contributed to the modern levels of bed bug outbreaks. Even with reduced domestic and international travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic, infestation numbers remain alarmingly high.
How Bed Bugs Infest & Spread
Bed bugs are nocturnal, elusive pests that have adapted for thousands of years to human behavior and sleeping habits. Their bites often go unnoticed until after they have fed and returned to their hidden nesting sites. They emerge at night, targeting sleeping humans, making detection difficult.
Comprehensive Bed Bug Inspection & Treatment
Because bed bugs are incredibly hard to find with a simple visual inspection, professional bed bug detection methods are crucial. These pests prefer secluded hiding spots such as mattresses, bed frames, furniture crevices, baseboards, and electrical outlets. They can survive for months without feeding and can easily spread through luggage, clothing, and second-hand furniture. Even the cleanest homes, hotels, and rental properties are vulnerable to bed bug infestations if these pests are introduced.
Our bed bug control and extermination services include:
Thorough Inspection – We conduct a detailed bed bug inspection to locate infestations.
Targeted Bed Bug Treatments – Using industry-leading bed bug extermination methods, including heat treatments, chemical treatments, and eco-friendly solutions, we eliminate infestations.
Preventative Strategies – After extermination, our team provides bed bug prevention recommendations, such as protective mattress covers, sealing hiding spots, and reducing clutter to deter future infestations.
The Impact of Bed Bug Infestations
Bed bug bites can lead to itchy, painful welts, skin rashes, allergic reactions, and even secondary infections due to excessive scratching. Beyond physical effects, psychological distress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation are common among individuals dealing with bed bug problems.
For hotels, landlords, and property managers, bed bug infestations can cause severe reputational damage, financial losses, and legal liabilities. In Chicago, commercial landlords have substantial legal responsibilities regarding bed bug control and tenant rights.

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.
Gio came out and did an excellent job in targeting the areas needed to be addressed for our ant problem. I highly recommend using Mid West Pest Solutions! He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions.– Oscar R. in Chicago, IL

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
