People call them bed bugs. The name makes people think they only infest beds.
However, we see bed bugs everywhere. Of course, we see them most often in beds, couches, and chairs. These are places we sit or lay still which allows the bugs time to feed. We also see them in unusual places around the home like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outside on the front porch, and climbing up exterior walls. They won’t live long outside because other insects will eat them.
So, how do they get in my bed? They don’t just appear one day! These bugs hitch hike or walk through the unusual places in search of a host (You and your family). Remember they are an insect that needs to feed to survive.
It’s interesting how many people discover bed bugs in their home and say “I know where they came from”. In reality the introduction of a bed bug could have come from anywhere. They are hitchhikers, so you may have picked one up while you were out in public. They are often found in cars, buses, airplanes, restaurants, schools, doctors offices, hospitals, day care centers, your work, summer camps, and hotels. Maybe someone brought one to you when they visited. It’s hard to say.
Regardless, be aware that they are everywhere — especially in Honolulu and all of Oahu. If you see bed bugs call Wela Pest Control at 808-286-1864.
I want to let you know how effective your heat treatment was in eliminating a significant bed bug infestation in a condo I was servicing. Within four (4) hours, the condo in question was completely free of bedbugs and other pests. This saved the sale of the condo. Great professional service.Neal Fineman

The past year needs no introduction: 2020 was the year the world stood still. We all stopped traveling, eating out, going to the office, attending church, and going to movie theaters. And it finally looks like we will start our long-anticipated return to “normal”... and, like it or not, we will be taking bed bugs with us! Read more
Every year, a major pest control company publishes a list of the top US cities for bed bugs. Many sources across the internet will inform you (and those of us at Wela Pest Control know first-hand!) that treating for bed bugs can be expensive and traditional chemical treatments can require several weeks or more to knock out an active infestation. Now that the economy is open again, you don’t need to live in one of these cities to have a potential bed bug problem... the person next to you could have traveled through one and brought them to visit you!

Camps across the country have been closed during the pandemic... and people can’t wait to return! Don’t assume that any bed bugs that survived your last treatment starved this past year— adult bed bugs have survived in laboratories without food for as long as 550 days and they will be hungry! As far as bed bugs are concerned, as we continue to return to business as usual— whatever that ends up looking like, you will be hosting a camp grand-re opening special for them: a potentially unlimited buffet of guests that will become their next meals.
