How do we know if we have a bed bug issue and not just need pest control? In an early infestation, it is very difficult to actually find the bedbugs themselves, so often bedbugs are actually identified by finding their fecal matter spots or molt casings. If bedbugs have not been observed, but you think you may have them, contact Ben’s Bugs Be Gone for a detailed inspection. Our technicians are highly trained and experienced in how to spot and identify bed bug signs. (If we do find bedbugs, the cost of the inspection is immediately deducted from the cost of your treatment.) (Please note: just because you have bites, does NOT mean you have bed bugs—and no one can actually “diagnose” bed bugs from the bite alone. Bedbugs must be properly identified by careful and detailed inspection of your home.) In more established infestations, the actual bugs will very quickly be spotted. But they are not always just on your bed or couch– they can be found in books, picture frames, stuffed animals, electronics, night stands, even electrical outlets. They are also not just limited to bedrooms—bed bugs are hitchhikers, which means that anywhere you go in your house, they can go too. This is why proper, expert treatment MUST include your whole house. So you think you have bed bugs… now what? First, don’t panic—you’ve come to the right place. Ben’s Bugs Be Gone specializes in helping you get your life and your home back as safely and quickly as possible. You can get bed bugs anywhere (movie theaters, doctors’ offices, hotels, etc.), school, custody situations, family members, individuals getting in-home assistance from agencies and the list goes on. Remember, do not blame yourself—let Ben’s Bugs Be Gone quickly and efficiently get your quality of life back for you. Second, know that you DO have options.* Ben’s Bugs offers the widest range of bedbug treatment programs in the Fort Wayne area. No matter your home type, size, infestation level, or ability to prep, we offer a treatment option to match your needs. 

*Please note: Self-treating can cause issues with professional treatment and often makes the bedbug infestation substantially worse.
