Burnaby Bed Bug Control
Understanding the Challenge of Bed Bug Infestations
When you need bed bug treatment in Burnaby, 1st Pest Control is your trusted bed bug exterminator in Burnaby for fast, reliable results. Our experienced team uses advanced heat and chemical treatments to eliminate infestations completely—no shortcuts, no recurring problems. We tailor every treatment to your property type, ensuring safe, discreet, and long-lasting protection for your home or business.
Burnaby’s growing number of high-density buildings and older apartments in areas like Metrotown, Edmonds, and Lougheed mean bed bugs can spread quickly from unit to unit. Their presence can disrupt your sleep, damage your belongings, and cause serious discomfort for tenants and landlords alike.
1st Pest Control provides Burnaby residents with an effective, green solution to bed bugs. Our biopesticide treatment uses a natural fungus that targets bugs at every stage—without the need for toxic chemicals. It’s fast, safe, and ideal for homes, condos, and rental units across the city.
Our Proven Bed Bug Remediation Process
1. Initial Contact
Customers can reach out to 1st Pest Control to request either a visual or K9 bed bug inspection, or treatment.
2. Preparation is Key
Before any inspection or treatment can commence, customers are required to prepare their home. We will email a comprehensive “prep guide” that outlines the necessary steps to ensure the most effective and safe treatment. This preparation is crucial for successful bed bug elimination.
Note:
If a customer is requesting a K9 inspection, they must also follow the prep sheet guide requirements to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the K9’s detection.

3. No Mandatory Identification
While we can perform inspections to confirm bed bug presence, it is not mandatory (but highly recommended) for 1st Pest Control to positively identify bed bugs before proceeding with treatment. If you are confident you have a bed bug issue, we can move directly to the treatment phase once the property is prepped.
4. Comprehensive Treatment
If bed bugs are identified in even a single bedroom within a condo or house, 1st Pest Control will treat the entire condo or entire house. This whole-property approach is essential to ensure all hidden bed bug populations are addressed and to prevent re-infestation, as bed bugs can easily travel and spread to other rooms within a home.
5. Expert Treatment Application
Our trained technicians will apply targeted treatments using a natural biopesticide to effectively eliminate bed bugs of all life stages.
Why Common Bed Bug Treatments Often Fall Short
DIY methods like sprays, foggers, or home remedies may bring short-lived relief from bed bugs, but they rarely solve the problem at its core. Bed bugs are highly elusive, hiding in mattress seams, furniture, cracks, and even behind baseboards. They multiply quickly, and missing even a few can lead to a full resurgence.
If bed bug activity continues despite your efforts, 1st Pest Control can provide a more reliable, thorough solution. Our certified technicians know where to look, how to treat all stages of the infestation, and how to implement preventive measures—helping ensure the problem is handled effectively and doesn’t return.
Why traditional bed bug treatments aren't recommended anymore
Heat Treatments
- Expensive and disruptive—requires specialized equipment and high energy use.
- Risk of property damage if not carefully monitored.
- No residual protection — bed bugs can return if the source isn’t eliminated.
Chemical Treatments
- Bed bugs in many regions have developed resistance to common insecticides.
- Requires multiple applications and careful preparation by homeowners.
- Chemical residues can raise concerns for families, especially with children or pets.
Fogging Systems
- Ineffective against hidden bed bugs and eggs (Foggers don’t penetrate cracks or crevices).
- Can scatter bed bugs, worsening the infestation.
- Often leaves behind chemical residue with little actual control.
Our preferred method to eliminate bed bugs
We use a biopesticide treatment that targets bedbugs safely and effectively by utilizing naturally occurring fungal spores. Unlike conventional methods, our biopesticide works continuously, providing long-term control without the drawbacks of heat, chemicals, or fogging.
Bed Bug Prevention Tips
Inspect Items Purchased From Second-Hand Stores
Carefully check used furniture, clothing, or mattresses for signs of bed bugs before bringing them home.
Cover Your Mattress
Use mattress encasements to prevent bed bugs from hiding in your mattress and box spring.
Vacuum Regularly
Focus on areas like cracks, crevices, and upholstered furniture to remove potential bed bug hiding spots.
Be Aware of Bed Bugs While Traveling
Inspect hotel beds and luggage racks for bed bugs, and wash all clothing in hot water after returning home.
Seal Cracks and Crevices
Eliminate hiding places by sealing gaps in baseboards, walls, and furniture.
K9 Bed bug Inspections
Accuracy and precision detection with our K9 team
At 1st Pest Control, we utilize highly trained K9 bed bug detection dogs to locate infestations quickly and accurately. Bed bug-sniffing dogs are specially trained to detect the unique scent of live bed bugs and their eggs, even in the smallest cracks and hidden areas where visual inspections may fall short.
Their keen sense of smell allows them to pinpoint infestations in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and even behind walls, ensuring no bed bug goes undetected. K9 inspections are fast, non-invasive, and highly effective, making them an excellent choice for hotels, apartments, and residential homes in Burnaby seeking early detection and targeted treatment.
