Bed Bug Control

We are experts in providing bed bug control services for homes and businesses. We use only exclusively proven methods, including our K9 Inspection and our exclusive Heat’N Treat System, to treat, control, and eradicate any bed bug problem you have.

Research shows that this new wave of bed bugs is resistant to conventional treatment methods, so we take great pride in the treatments we have formulated, as they guarantee results. As with termites, only a complete and thorough inspection can determine if you have a genuine bed bug problem and what it will take to treat and control it.

Residential Bed Bug Treatments

Seeing Red

As seen here, bed bug bites are characterized by red, welt-like bumps on the skin. They can cause any number of related issues, including allergic reactions, skin infections, mental distress, and, rarely, anaphylactic shock. An especially interesting and worrisome feature of bed bug bites is that you often do not see or feel the damage until long after it is done. That’s because bed bugs first inject you with an anesthetic before hungrily slurping your blood.

Other Tell Tale Signs 

 
Bedroom bugs can be difficult to notice, so knowledge about how they look and behave is crucial in detecting them as soon as possible. Because they are flat and about the size of an apple seed, bed bugs can invade your home from almost anywhere. Drawn to warm, dark places near human hosts, they are also not simply relegated to living on mattresses; they can be found in furniture, clothing, carpets and many more places. Furthermore, they can live for almost a year in a home with a nominal temperature and adequate food supply. Add this to the fact that they can fully infest a house within 3–4 months, so it’s easy to see how bed bugs can get out of control. Other things to consider include:
 
  • ​Bed bugs can travel on bags, people, and suitcases or be transferred from used furniture.
  • ​Bed bugs leave dark spotting and staining on sheets, mattresses, pillows, and clothing. The staining is from excrement and blood left by crushed bed bugs.
  • ​A sweet, musty smell is often associated with bed bug infestation.
  • ​Most bed bugs come out for meals at night and feed exclusively on blood. Their bites on humans can feel and even look similar to a mosquito bite.​ ​

Get An Inspection: the Nose Knows
 
The best way to know for certain if you have bed bugs is to get an inspection. This way, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with, and we can prepare the best course of action. The best inspection to have is a CERTIFIED K-9 inspection. We can “Pre Sniff” your home, motels, hotels, commercial, and municipal properties. The pricing will be determined after an initial walk through.

Defense & Treatment 
 

Like they say in football, your best defense is a strong offense, so make the necessary moves to keep bed bugs out of your house as much as possible. First, do regular inspections, especially after traveling or when guests leave your home. The same is true for furniture: inspect them regularly, especially any second-hand pieces you might bring into your home. Finally, even though bed bug infestations have nothing to do with cleanliness, it still helps to remove clutter as doing so gives them fewer places to hide.

As for treatment, your best option is to get professional treatment, but you have to choose carefully because not all companies and treatments are the same. Chemical applications, for example, are used only as a method of contact killing, which means they only kill the visible bed bugs and not the entire infestation. Having said that, we know that bed bug heat treatments are the most effective way to control bed bugs. This is why we offer our exclusive Heat’N Treat System; it kills bed bugs at their source. We also offer a post-sniff service from our K-9 to make sure there is no bedbug activity. To find out how, just give us a call.

Ultimately, choosing the best treatment method for your situation depends entirely on its severity, so contact us today to schedule an in-home bed bug inspection. Serving Sussex and Kent Counties, Delaware, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia, we are just a call away from handling your bed bug control needs.

Customer Experiences

I needed a termite inspection for my VA Home Loan. Bennett Termite schedule the inspection quickly and showed up on time. The inspector was very polite and informative. Their fee was better than I expected. I would recommend Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions to anyone in need of the service.

Very happy with your service and price. Always done quickly and very flexible on changes of schedule.

Thank You!

Our first experience with Bennett Pest Control was approximately 4 years ago when we encountered our first “bed bug infestation” when a tenant moved out of a rental home. We had called a number of Pest Control companies who used a chemical treatment and would need to treat for 2-4 months. After calling Bennett Pest Control and meeting with Bruce, he explained the heat treatment, the cost, and the down time.

The heat treatment would kill everything in the home (ie; roaches, ants, spiders, bedbugs and their eggs) down time would be 6-8 hours, and cost was less than one month’s rent. Still, not sure as what to do, Bruce said “Let’s do this house, if you still are not convinced, or we have to come back for any reason, we will discount the cost.” We will also guarantee our work, and have a canine inspection upon completion.

Needless to say, the ONLY people I call when there is any signs or even a “maybe possible” sign of a bedbug when completing a move out inspection is Bennett Pest Control . They are fast, courteous, professional, and less expensive than having 2+ months of down time with no guarantee. We have never had to have Bennett Pest Control go back to re-treat. It is always 100% pest free after one treatment.

Thank you!

“I just wanted to let you know that I had the opportunity to speak with Keven today and he was fantastic. I was told that I had an issue at a rental property of mine in Fenwick. I needed you all to come out and treat it but I couldn’t be there. Kevin called me and explained everything and answered all of my questions in a way that made me feel like I was truly being taken care of. Keven is the reason I will remain a customer in the future.

Please thank him for earning you another customer.”

“I was very impressed with the professionalism of Robert and Dean yet also how kindly they treated me and my family. We were devastated to find that we had a problem. They assured us that we are not alone and would do everything they could to help us. Robert gave us all the information we needed to know with how to handle the situation. Under Dean’s care, Bennett acted swiftly and had our problem, and our stress level, under control in no time. We are so grateful to them for their service.”

“I want to take the time to let you know how I feel about your company and its performance. I provide Property Management for an extensive number of homes in both Delaware and Maryland. I have chosen Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions to service these rental properties as well as my personal homes because I have noticed the attention to details, the professional service and the response to my needs that the company provides. They respond quickly to any call and provide the monthly service at a very competitive rate. I can rely on Bennett to get the job done the first time whether performing routine maintenance or providing immediate service for problems.

I am a realtor and am in the unique position of seeing the types of service provided by a variety of pest control companies during the home inspections for the sale of properties. It is this knowledge that led me to switch all my managed properties and my personal homes to Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions.”

“I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you that I had a great customer service experience with Jared. I dealt with him on the telephone and I was very pleased with his degree of professionalism over the phone. He was warm, friendly and assured me if I needed anything, to just call back. He is definitely an asset to your business.”

“I’m sorry that it has taken me so long to acknowledge one of your employees. His name is Fred and he did a termite inspection for us back in Jan. of this year. Fred found a significant source of heat loss and security in our conditioned crawlspace. It turns out that our builder had not sealed the crawl space from the outside elements. Fred felt the draft and reported it to us. We have been very happy with your company for almost three years now and could not be happier. All of your employees are first rate and your service is top notch. Thank you for running such an efficient business!”

“I have been very satisfied with Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions’ overall attention to service and my needs. I had a kitchen full of ants and company arriving. I called Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions and they came to my aid as quickly as possible and saved my weekend.”

“I have been impressed with Dean and his team at Bennett Termite and Pest Solutions for my monthly home pest control services. Their professional service and knowledge is essential to protecting my home and property without risk to my children and pets. With their monthly service, the appearance of my lawn has improved and I am able to enjoy my yard without the annoyance of ants, flies, and mosquitoes.”

“We are so happy that we have Dean Bennett and his crew back on our home protection team. Dealing with a man who knows his stuff leaves us relaxed. It is both a rarity and a relief to deal with your company, confident that our best interests are your priority. Thank you for bringing your quality service to our home and to our community.”

“Right Property Management has done business with Dean Bennett for years and we find him to be extremely Customer Service Oriented. It is not unusual to call Dean with a problem and he says, “I’ll be there in a few minutes to check on it”. Can’t do any more than that for your customers.”

“Not only are Dean and his company quick to respond, they have even come out the same day we called to help us out. The company is easily reached, timely, responsive and friendly. We highly recommend Bennett Pest Solutions.”

I’ve been impressed with Bennett Termite Pest Control from the moment I called them hysterically. Their response time was the same day in addition to the next day coming out again to treat the interior of my house. I am very particular and cautious about people entering my home, but when the technician came to my home, he was professional, hardworking and reassuring my rodent problem would disappear. I not only chose Bennett because they are locals to the area and know how to treat problems, but they heard the urgency in my voice to help. I can rely on Bennett to get the job done right the first time.

Bennett Termite has been awesome to work with. We use them regularly for our quarterly pest control at our home & business along with our yard spray during the summer months. We also used them for our crawl space encapsulation. From start to finish of the project, we were extremely happy. All the details of the project were explained thoroughly and they arrived when they said they would. Before Bennett completed the encapsulation, our crawl space was damp and musty. After encapsulation, it is dry, clean, and we notice a reduction in our electric bill due to the efficiency. Everyone in the office is lovely and very helpful whenever a billing/invoice question comes up. I would absolutely recommend Bennett Termite to friends & family!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic review, Abbey! It's wonderful to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience with our team, from the regular pest control to the crawl space encapsulation. We’re glad to know that the project met your expectations and that our staff has been helpful along the way. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
