Springfield homes and who lives in them
A lot of Springfield's housing went up in the postwar decades: split-levels, ramblers and colonials in neighborhoods off Old Keene Mill Road and Backlick Road. There are also garden apartments and townhome communities near Franconia and along Route 1 toward Fort Belvoir. Many households are military or federal families who move every few years, and that means hotel stays, temporary lodging and household goods shipments.
If you just moved in and started noticing bites, don't assume anything yet. Our guide Bed bug bites vs. mosquito bites and Signs of bed bugs will help you figure out what to look for before you call.
How we'd approach your Springfield home
- Talk it through. What have you seen, where did you see it, and who sleeps in each room?
- Pick a method. Heat ($2.00/sq ft) kills every life stage, eggs included. It usually takes 15 minutes to 2 hours to reach temperature, then holds for about 3 to 5 hours, and it's typically done in one day. Heat jobs are retreated with Aprehend. Aprehend alone ($0.75/sq ft) is for early infestations where someone sleeps in the room regularly. It takes 30 to 45 days with some continued activity and leaves 3-month residual protection. The hybrid plan ($0.85/sq ft plus $500 per heated room) heats the rooms with confirmed bugs and uses Aprehend in the rest of the home. You can sleep in the treated room the same night.
- Prep and aftercare. These are required for the 6-month warranty. See How do I prepare for heat treatment?
If you want a dog inspection, we refer you to an independent company that only does inspections.
Hold off on store-bought sprays
Over-the-counter sprays and foggers can scatter bed bugs, and they can void your warranty. One hotel's foggers turned a one-room heat job into 13 rooms.
Warranty, scheduling and financing
The 6-month warranty covers live bed bugs in treated areas (guarantee). We offer same-day emergency service 7 days a week. We can't guarantee a specific response time, and we're not a 24/7 service. Wisetack financing runs from 3 months to 5 years, subject to approval.
