Quick signs you may have bed bugs

• Small, itchy bites in clusters or lines, especially after sleeping

• Tiny black specks (droppings) on sheets, mattress seams, or headboard

• Molted skins and pale, sesame-seed-sized eggs near sleeping areas

• A sweet, musty odor in heavy infestations

Good news: while bed bug bites are uncomfortable and can disrupt sleep, bed bugs aren’t known to transmit diseases to people. Indiana Government

Why bed bugs are tough (and how we beat them)

Bed bugs hide in narrow cracks—bed frames, baseboards, behind outlets, even screw heads. They move between rooms, ride along in luggage or furniture, and can skip meals for weeks. That’s why successful bed bug control requires targeted products, precise application, and follow-through.

Our fast-track bed bug treatments in Evansville & Newburgh

Yikes Pest Control uses an integrated program to shut down activity fast and drive long-term relief:

• Aprehend® biopesticide: a professional-use product containing Beauveria bassiana fungal spores in a proprietary oil formulation. Applied as narrow barriers where bed bugs travel; when bugs cross, they pick up spores and transfer them to others in harborage sites. Labels and distributors note 4–10 days to kill after contact and up to 3 months of effective control on treated surfaces. Rockwell Labs Ltd+1

• Liquid residuals: long-lasting formulations placed in cracks, crevices, and bed frames to intercept movement and protect key areas.

• IGRs (Insect Growth Regulators): limit future population growth by disrupting bed bug development.

• Knockdowns: rapid-action products to quickly reduce exposed activity in hot spots.

This multi-tool approach treats today’s activity and makes your home less welcoming over time.

What to expect after your treatment

Most families notice activity dropping quickly, with continued reduction as treatments and follow-ups do their work. Because bed bugs are masters at hiding and hitchhiking, multiple service steps are common—especially in multi-unit housing or heavy clutter. Your technician will set realistic expectations, outline prep steps, and schedule any necessary follow-ups to confirm control.
