Bed Bug Control
in Rumson, New Jersey

Nestled between the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers, Rumson provides stunning waterfront views. This upscale borough is home to many 19th-century estates, new builds and apartments alike. That means pest control has to consider a lot more than just what’s bugging you—it has to adjust for factors like building age and shared walls.

At Viking Pest, we address all kinds of infestations, including bed bugs. We’re ready to support you in maintaining a pest-free home.

Professional Bed Bug Control in Rumson

Bed bugs usually slip in undetected on clothing and luggage. If you’ve traveled recently or had guests, they may have brought bugs from their home. Once they’re there, a female lays up to 7 eggs per day, and up to 50 eggs in her lifetime. Each egg hatches in around 10 days, and 6 weeks later, the new bugs are ready to lay more.

These pesky pests are notoriously difficult to remove once an infestation forms, and DIY methods often aren’t enough to stop them. Professional approaches are typically much more effective.

Signs It’s Time to Call a Bed Bug Exterminator in Rumson

Bed bugs are sneaky. You likely won’t see a live bug unless the infestation is severe or you go searching for them in hidden spaces. You’re much more likely to notice signs of their presence, including:

• Bite marks on exposed skin in the morning. They’re often present in a line or cluster and look like small, red welts that itch or burn.
• Small rust-colored stains on sheets or mattresses. These are often a mixture of blood and feces.
• A slight musty odor from the infestation site. Some people describe it as sweetish.
• Shed exoskeletons, which often look tan and translucent.
• Bugs hiding in seams or mattress tags.

Our Bed Bug Treatments in Rumson

If you notice the above signs, it’s time to contact an exterminator for an inspection. Our trained professionals know what to look for and where these pests like to hide.

Once we confirm you have a bed bug infestation, we schedule a treatment. Regardless of the method, plan on leaving your home for several hours. Your pets must also be out of the home during the treatment.

We usually use one of two treatment options:

• Heat treatments: Our industrial-strength heaters raise your indoor temperatures to at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit for an extended period. Superheating your space dehydrates and eliminates eggs and live bugs.
• Liquid treatments: We use carefully chosen, state-of-the-art products that eliminate bed bugs on contact. Your exterminator sprays contaminated spaces to begin the treatment. As the product dries, it provides residual protection that continues to eliminate bugs missed by the initial application.
