Bed bugs are stressful, disruptive, and notoriously hard to eliminate without the right approach. If you have spotted bites, blood spots on your sheets, or live bugs along your mattress seams, you need a team that responds quickly and treats the problem correctly the first time. As a family-owned company with more than 30 years of experience and based in nearby Canton, 120 Pest delivers specialized bed bug treatment to homes and businesses throughout the area, including Woodstock. Our technicians are trained bed bug specialists who schedule the time needed for proper inspection, treatment, and follow-up.
Local Bed Bug Specialists Serving the Area
When searching for bed bug treatment, response time matters. Because our home base in Canton is only a short drive away, we provide prompt service across the surrounding communities, including Woodstock, Canton, and Holly Springs. That proximity allows us to react quickly, which is critical when every day with an active infestation means more bites and more spreading.
Our focus on this single problem sets us apart from one-size-fits-all pest companies:
- Dedicated bed bug specialists, not a rushed add-on service
- GreenTech Heat certified for professional thermal treatments
- Backed by entomologists and researchers for proven methods
- Realistic preparation expectations built around how people actually live
Signs You May Have Bed Bugs
Catching an infestation early makes treatment faster and easier, so it helps to know what to look for. Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that hide near where people sleep and emerge at night to feed. They are easy to miss at first, but a few telltale signs usually give them away.
Common indicators of bed bug activity include:
- Itchy bites that often appear in lines or clusters on exposed skin
- Small reddish or rust-colored spots on sheets, mattresses, or upholstery
- Tiny dark fecal spots along mattress seams, box springs, and headboards
- Shed skins or pale eggshells in crevices near the bed
- A faint, musty odor in heavily infested rooms
If you notice any of these signs, it is worth scheduling a professional inspection rather than waiting. Bed bugs reproduce quickly, and an early response keeps a small problem from spreading throughout the home.
Two Proven Treatment Options: Thermal Heat and Chemical
Every infestation is different, so we offer two effective methods and recommend the right one after a thorough inspection. You can review both in detail on our bed bug services page.
Thermal Heat Treatment
Thermal heat is the fastest and most efficient way to kill live bed bugs and their eggs. Bed bugs and eggs die at 117 degrees when exposed long enough, so the home and its contents are safely heated to temperatures that typically range from 120 to 140 degrees. Heat reaches into cracks and crevices that sprays cannot, and it leaves no residue once it cools.
Here is why so many homeowners choose heat:
- Treatment is completed in a single day, and biting stops that same day
- Furniture and beds are treated in place, with no need to throw items out
- Clothes stay in your dressers and closets, with no bagging required
- It is safe for children and pets
- One flat fee covers the warranty period
A limited chemical application is added to guard against reintroduction. You can learn more on our thermal heat treatment page.
Chemical Treatment
Our chemical-based treatment is a strong option that can target a single room or an entire home, depending on what the inspection reveals. We use a multi-step process refined over more than 15 years of field experience, and it does not require the heavy prep work many companies demand.
A typical chemical treatment includes these steps:
- A thorough inspection of the home to locate activity
- Physical removal of live bugs and eggs
- Steam applied to eggs and live bugs
- Encasements placed on mattresses and box springs
- Targeted product placement in furniture, wall voids, and other harborage areas
- Follow-up visits included in the treatment price
The warranty for this method is based on the bed bug life cycle, ensuring enough time passes to confirm success. See more on our chemical treatment page.
One-Day Heat Treatment With Minimal Preparation
One of the biggest advantages of our heat approach is speed paired with simplicity. Many companies hand you a long, exhausting prep checklist. We take a more realistic approach so you can get back to normal quickly.
With a thermal heat treatment, here is what you can expect:
- Schedule an inspection so we can confirm the infestation and recommend a plan.
- Complete the light preparation steps outlined on our preparation sheet.
- We heat the home in one day to kill bugs and eggs at every life stage.
- Biting stops that day, and there is no furniture to discard afterward.
This fast turnaround is especially valuable when you need treatment quickly and cannot afford days of disruption.
Comprehensive Warranty Included With Every Service
We stand behind our work, and every treatment includes a worry-free warranty at no additional cost. Depending on the property, you will receive either a 30-day or 90-day warranty, and that guarantee covers all necessary follow-up visits built right into the original service price. There are no hidden fees and no surprises, just complete protection and peace of mind. This means that if any activity is detected during the warranty window, we return to address it without an added charge, so you are never left to handle a stubborn infestation on your own.
Commercial, Apartment, and Short-Term Rental Services
Bed bugs do not only affect single-family homes. We provide treatment for a range of properties and tailor each plan to the situation, using either thermal heat or chemical methods. Explore our full commercial offerings on our commercial bed bug treatment page.
Apartments and Multi-Family Properties
Bed bugs in apartment buildings can spread quickly and are challenging to contain. We treat both occupied and vacant units and work closely with tenants and management to deliver fast, customized solutions with minimal disruption. Occupied units receive a 90-day warranty at no extra charge, and managers get online access to property service history for easier record keeping.
Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals
For short-term rental owners, bed bugs can mean lost income, delistings, and negative reviews. Our team responds quickly and can provide a one-day treatment that allows the unit to be rented again the next day. As with our other services, prep is kept low to none so the property can be turned around fast.
Financing Available
A bed bug infestation is rarely planned, and we believe cost should not stand between you and an effective solution. Financing options are available to help make treatment more manageable and let you address the problem right away rather than waiting and risking further spread. To learn more about your options, visit our financing page or ask our team when you call, and we will walk you through what is available.
