Characteristics Of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown insects roughly the size of an apple seed. They are nocturnal parasites that hide in mattresses, electrical outlets, and baseboards during the day. Excellent hitchhikers, they travel easily on luggage and clothing, spreading quickly in homes, offices, and public transit. While common in cities, they can be found anywhere humans congregate.
How Bed Bugs Wreak Havoc Today

Beyond the physical discomfort, an infestation produces a foul, musty odor and can devastate a business's reputation. Cleanliness isn't a defense; professional intervention is the only way to stop them.

Comprehensive Bed Bug Control For Boston Residents
Boston’s dense neighborhoods and historic architecture create unique challenges for pest control. Bed bugs thrive in the wall voids of older buildings and spread easily in multi-unit housing. At General Environmental Services, we understand these local structures. Whether you are in a Back Bay brownstone or a Seaport apartment, we use advanced techniques tailored to Boston properties to eliminate pests and prevent their return.
What To Expect During An Inspection
We design our inspections to be thorough yet non-intrusive. We start by discussing what you’ve seen, then meticulously check beds, furniture, and hiding spots like baseboards. In multi-unit buildings, we may inspect adjacent units to ensure the issue hasn't spread. Afterward, we provide clear documentation of activity levels and a customized plan to move from inspection to effective bed bug control.
