Few household pests cause as much stress as bed bugs. They’re small, sneaky, and incredibly hard to get rid of once they’ve settled in. Even worse, they tend to go unnoticed until the problem has already grown. If you think bed bugs may be present in your home or business, acting quickly is the best way to stop an infestation in its tracks.
At Moyer, we help homeowners and businesses eliminate bed bugs completely with proven, targeted treatments designed to work without turning your life upside down.
What Are Bed Bugs, Really?
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are tiny, flat insects that feed on human blood, usually while you’re asleep. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and are excellent at hiding. They squeeze into mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, upholstered furniture, baseboards, and even wall outlets.
Because bed bugs are nocturnal and avoid light, infestations often grow quietly for weeks—or even months—before people realize what’s happening.
Common Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation in Your Home
Most people first notice bed bugs because of unexplained bites. Bed bug bites are often red, itchy, and appear in clusters or straight lines on exposed skin. While bites alone aren’t a guaranteed sign, they’re often the first red flag.
Other signs of bed bugs include small blood stains on sheets, dark spotting on mattresses or walls, and in heavier infestations, a musty or sweet odor. If you’re seeing any combination of these signs, a professional bed bug inspection is the most reliable way to confirm what’s going on.
How Bed Bugs Spread So Easily
One of the biggest misconceptions about bed bugs is that they’re related to cleanliness. In reality, bed bugs don’t care how clean a space is—they care about access to people.
Bed bugs don’t fly or jump. Instead, they hitchhike. They travel on luggage, clothing, backpacks, furniture, and even public transportation. That’s why bed bugs are commonly associated with travel, hotels, apartment buildings, offices, and other shared spaces.
This also means that both homes and businesses are at risk, even if they’ve never had a pest issue before.
Why DIY Bed Bug Treatments Rarely Work
It’s tempting to try store-bought sprays, foggers, or home remedies first. While washing bedding, vacuuming, and using mattress encasements can help reduce activity, these steps alone rarely eliminate a bed bug infestation.
Bed bugs are extremely resilient. Many are resistant to over-the-counter products, and they’re experts at hiding deep within walls, furniture, and structural cracks where DIY treatments simply can’t reach. Incomplete treatment often allows the infestation to rebound and sometimes spread to new areas.
What to Expect During Bed Bug Service
Every successful bed bug treatment starts with a thorough inspection. Once activity is confirmed, our team provides clear preparation instructions to help ensure the best possible results. Treatment is then performed using the most effective method for your specific situation, followed by monitoring and follow-up visits if needed.
Because bed bug eggs can hatch after the initial treatment, professional oversight is key to making sure the problem is truly gone—not just temporarily reduced.

Preventing Bringing Bed Bugs Home in the Future
