Woods Hole, MA's Discreet Bed Bug Elimination Team

K9 inspection or a trained visual inspection can distinguish bed bugs from carpet beetles or other look-alikes with high accuracy — bite marks alone aren't reliable confirmation.

Both methods work; the right choice depends on infestation size, budget, and whether you need same-day elimination.

Yes — bed bugs travel through wall voids, electrical conduits, and shared furniture, which is why multi-unit buildings need coordinated treatment.

Replacement is rarely necessary; a proper encasement paired with treatment typically resolves mattress-level infestation.

Discretion is standard practice for us — plain vehicles and low-key scheduling are available without extra cost.

We schedule a post-treatment verification visit, sometimes with K9 confirmation, specifically to confirm zero remaining activity. It also helps to inspect secondhand furniture and luggage after travel, since those remain the two most common ways bed bugs enter a home.
