Bedbugs in Tennessee

The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture states that In 2005, nearly 20 percent of Tennessee counties reported bedbugs.

By December 2012, bedbugs were reported in 60 percent of Tennessee counties and could be more widespread than reported.

Bedbugs are parasites that feed on human blood. Once bedbugs get in, they can quickly multiply and infest your home.

There are very few things that you can do to eliminate bedbugs on your own because bedbugs can survive for up to a year without feeding.

You need to call an exterminator immediately when you find bedbugs throughout your home.

Causey’s Pest Control proudly offers the best and most affordable bedbug service in Dover, Clarksville, Paris, and surrounding areas.

BEDBUG SERVICE PROCESS WITH CAUSEY’S PEST CONTROL

This structured process allows us to effectively eliminate bedbugs and provide long-term relief.

Bedbug Inspection & Identification

If you are not sure whether you have bed bugs, we offer a free inspection to determine if bed bugs are present in your home.
If you have already found bed bugs, we can often confirm identification through clear photos sent to us – no inspection required.

Preparation

Before treatment, preparation is required to ensure the best results.
We will provide a detailed bedbug preparation checklist, and treatment will be scheduled once preparation is complete.

Initial Bedbug Treatment

On the day of service, our technicians will:

Treat the home room by room
Thoroughly sterilize and treat all known bedbug harborage areas
Apply professional products according to all label instructions and industry guidelines

Follow-Up Bedbug Treatment

A follow-up treatment is performed approximately 2-3 weeks later, which aligns with the normal bed bug gestation period.
During this visit, we re-treat targeted areas and surfaces using our final product to eliminate any remaining bed bugs and newly hatched activity.

The Importance of Preparation Before Bedbug Service

Bedbugs are a serious problem and are notoriously difficult to eliminate. For us to perform an effective treatment, client cooperation and proper preparation are essential.

Preparation ensures that our technicians can move freely throughout each room without hindrances, allowing us to thoroughly treat all areas and fully eliminate bedbugs and their eggs.

Proper preparation is a critical step in achieving the most effective and long-lasting results from your upcoming bed bug treatment.

Our Bedbug Preparation Checklist provides detailed instructions outlining everything that must be completed before your scheduled service. Preparation includes, but is not limited to:

Providing clear and adequate access to all rooms and treatment areas
Cleaning and laundering requirements
Following post-treatment recommendations to prevent reinfestation

We understand that proper preparation can be challenging, especially within a short timeframe. Senior citizens or individuals with disabilities may require additional time or assistance, and we are happy to discuss accommodations when needed.

Why Is Bedbug Preparation So Important?

Without proper preparation, treatments may be less effective, may require additional services, or could delay the elimination process. Preparing correctly allows us to treat thoroughly, safely, and efficiently—giving you the best possible outcome.
