Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed exclusively on blood. 

The first thing one has to be able to do is recognize and distinguish a bed bug from any other insect. An adult bed bug is about the size and shape of an apple seed.

If it has not fed recently it will be flattened and brown. If it has fed it will be round in circumference and reddish. Immature bed bugs have a similar appearance to adults, with the smallest being the size of the head of a pin. You can then learn to look for their fecal spots, which can be easier to detect than the bugs themselves.

If you suspect bed bugs, call Cimex4u. We will spend the time necessary inspecting areas for evidence of bed bugs.

We have found that bed bugs have become quite resistant.  The best approach is a thorough inspection and then treatment with heat and dry ice.  Bed bugs can survive neither temperature, and this helps ensure their speedy demise.

A heat gun (200 degrees) is used which easily penetrates cracks and crevices (and also prevents combustion of other items!).

Cryonite is carbon dioxide snow (dry ice) that is sprayed at -100 degrees Fahrenheit, penetrating deep into thin cracks and crevices, in buildings as well as into machines. 

Cimex4u, as your pest control operator, will develop a strategy to deal with the bed bugs and will take all particulars of your settings into account, and will return several times to check on progress.

The heat gun incinerates anything living and the Cryonite works from the opposite end by freezing. Dry ice doesn't leave any residue at all. Vacuuming also has a role as does the use of insecticides which will leave behind deposits that are slow to act but are effective in the long-term.

All of these will be considered in the choice of tactics that will be the most effective for each individual situation.

Cryonite can be sprayed on electrical outlets, electronic equipment, machinery, without harming assets

No down time

Can be used pro-actively (no resistance build-up)

Eliminates all stages of insect life

NO ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
