Bed Bugs
To Learn more about Bed Bugs,
There are two different philosophies when it comes to treating Bed bugs and we are happy to accommodate any budget by offering both tiers of treatment:
-
Heat Treatments
-
Chemical Applications.
HEAT TREATMENTS:
Over the years we have witnessed mixed scenarios when one treatment method over the other can be the most effective. Castle Pest Control is happy to offer both tiers of Bed bug services. We take bed bugs very seriously, in fact it is the pest we know can have the most emotional impact on your lives once discovered, we’ve seen this first hand. We offer and recommend Heat Treatments for Bed bugs and guarantee these treatments for 90 days (these treatments still include chemical applications). Our heat treatments include:
-
Removal by vacuum of visible eggs, casings and live Bed bugs at time of service.
-
Commercial Steam Treatment of all accessible furnishings.
-
Deployment of Glueboard Monitors
-
Application of a commercial residual pesticide rated to destroy the infestation.

The landscape of treating bed bugs is shifting in Canada. New innovations are emerging with treating this pesky blood feeder. Aprehend is a first of it’s kind natural biopesticide.
Control with Aprehend
Aprehend® contains Beauveria bassiana fungal spores in a patented formulation, applied in areas where bed bugs travel. Contact with treated surfaces kills bed bugs within four to ten days, regardless of their stage, sex, or feeding status. The spores germinate within 20 hours, penetrate the cuticle, and colonize inside the bug, leading to its death.
Extensive laboratory studies have demonstrated that when bed bugs cross a treated surface, they pick up and carry fungal spores back to the harborage or nesting area.
The spores are easily transferred to others in the colony. All bed bugs that come into contact with the fungal spores die within four to ten days.
This process of acquiring spores from a surface treated with Aprehend® and transferring them to the colony is repeated each night. This happens until the population is eliminated.
By leveraging this efficient transfer mechanism, Aprehend® provides a long-lasting and highly effective solution for bed bug infestations. The fungal spores remain active on treated surfaces for up to three months, ensuring consistent protection and preventing reinfestation. This innovative approach minimizes the need for frequent applications, making it both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Bed bugs are one of the most problematic pests in the pest control industry to deal with. Did you know you could expose yourself to bed bugs and not even be aware you’ve picked up a hitchhiker? Cleanliness and living conditions can play a part in delaying discovery of a bed bug infestation but it certainly doesn’t determine if you get them, everyone is vulnerable. You will hear a lot of mixed information when inquiring on Bed bugs from different service providers and it can be stressful. Trust us, we know. This is why we offer both tiers of service as every situation is unique. Regardless of your selection on which service you require, preparation will need to be completed before we can treat. When booking your service we will require an email address to forward preparation details for Castle Technicians to successfully eliminate your infestation.
Chemical Applications:
In scenarios where the infestation is minor or budget constraints are a concern we can perform chemical applications in your home and will:
-
Wrap and Prepare any furnishings recommended by your technician for disposal.
-
Apply a commercial residual pesticide rated to destroy the infestation.
-
Deploy insect monitors to the perimeter of your living space so you can monitor activity levels for up to 90 days after we’ve sprayed.
Canine Prevention And Detection:
We also offer the use of a K9 Detection dog for investigation of suspected bed bugs, similar to police drug detection dogs these K9’s seek out bed bugs searching and smelling for the pheromones bed bugs produce. Call to inquire for availability and pricing or head over to our Bed bug Prevention page for more details.
What we do:
Castle Pest Control is happy to provide services and will prepare the following:
- Remove baseboards and outlet/light switch covers.
- Itemize and bag fabrics/clothing to be laundered.
- Shrink Wrap furniture for disposal.
- Vacuum floors and carpet spaces to minimize activity at floor level that will potentially migrate once chemicals have been applied. Many companies require this before treatment. Vacuuming with your household vacuum can do the job but it may risk delays in establishing control if the Bed bugs are not removed from your vacuum correctly and escape. This can cost more money for extended treatment follow ups. Contact us for more information regarding preperation for treatments.
