Bed bugs hide in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and wall voids, and they spread quickly between rooms and units — a real risk in rentals, military housing, and lodging. Salty Dog Pest Control treats infestations thoroughly and helps you keep them from coming back.
How bed bugs spread
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They travel in luggage, used furniture, and between shared walls, which is why they are especially common in rentals, base-adjacent housing near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, and short-term lodging. A small problem becomes a large one fast, so early treatment matters.
Signs of bed bugs
- Small, itchy bites in lines or clusters, often on arms and legs
- Rust-colored spotting on sheets and mattress seams
- Tiny shed skins or eggs in seams, cracks, and behind headboards
- A sweet, musty odor in heavy infestations
How we treat bed bugs
We inspect to confirm and map the infestation, apply a thorough, targeted treatment to harborage areas, and schedule follow-up to catch any survivors and interrupt the breeding cycle. For rentals and turnovers, we coordinate with our move-out and turnover service so a unit is handed over clean.
