Pest control recommendations?

Anyone out here in the DM area had any experience with any of the bed bug pest control people?

My mom lives in an apartment and got some new neighbors who brought the little creatans with them and it seems that they are now in my house. I seem to be highly allergic to them (can't stop scratching - nearly drawing blood from all the scratching) as was my mom so I'm not surprised.

I know that the people who treated her apartment building charged $1000 per apartment and they completely destroyed her apartment in the process and broke her bed but the consent to treat relinquished them of any liability.

I'm so mad I could spit right now. I could hope that it is just mosquito bites because I was outside for about 5-10 minutes last night around 9:30 but I'm rather doubtful.

Any suggestions?

  • I don't have personal experience with them per se, but I have known the owners for basically my whole life and I trust them!  I think they do free estimates. I have no idea what the pricing is like.

  • We use Des Moines Pest Control for our spring,summer, fall spraying and its $75 and they guarantee if you see any bugs within 30 days, they will come back and spray again. However, I have never dealt with bed bugs so I don't know if they treat that...

  • My husband has worked with Springer Pest Control and says they seem like a good company. He has even met the bed bug sniffing dog. We have never used them personally but have friends and family who use them for quarterly sprayings. SIL swears shes never seen any bug of any kind in her house.
  • Ditto Preferred Pest Control. My friend Mark works for them and he always does a fabulous job with our other bug problems.
