- Tiny rust-colored stains or specks (that’s bed bug poop, sorry) on sheets or mattress seams
- Musty, sweet smell in the bedroom
- Small bug shells, molted skins, or live bugs around the bed frame, mattress, or baseboards

Ants We Commonly Deal With in Kinston:
In Kinston (and most of North Carolina), the main culprit is:
- Cimex lectularius — the common bed bug
These guys are tiny, reddish-brown, and excellent at hiding in tight spaces. They feed at night and reproduce quickly, which makes them tough to get rid of without expert help.
There are also tropical bed bugs (Cimex hemipterus), but they’re less common in this part of the state. Don’t worry — we know how to handle both.
No matter which kind you’ve got, we’ve seen them, stopped them, and sent them packing.

Bed Bug Basics: What Kinston Homeowners Should Know
- They Don’t Care How Clean You Are
Bed bugs don’t show up because your home is dirty. They hitch rides in luggage, used furniture, or even clothing. - They Reproduce FAST
One pregnant female can produce hundreds of new bugs in just a few weeks. - Over-the-counter sprays usually make things worse
DIY treatments tend to scatter the bugs, pushing them deeper into walls or floors. - Heat treatments are often the gold standard
Bed bugs die at 118°F. Our equipment heats your space evenly to wipe out the infestation without damaging your stuff. - They hide in more places than just your bed
Think couches, electrical outlets, dresser joints, baseboards — even behind wallpaper. Creepy, right?
