Year-Round Protection Against One of NJ’s Most Persistent Pests
If you’re waking up with unexplained bites or spotting tiny bugs that jump in your bed, you might be dealing with a bed bug infestation. Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs don’t disappear in cold weather—and yes, bed bugs are active in the winter.

Whether you’ve spotted tiny black bugs in your bedroom or you’re not sure what’s biting you, our expert team can help you confirm the problem—and eliminate it.
Can Cold Weather Kill Bed Bugs?
Spoiler Alert: No. They Hide, Hibernate, and Thrive Indoors
Every winter, we get asked the same questions:
-
Will the cold weather kill bed bugs?
-
Will bed bugs go away in winter?
-
Do bed bugs die in cold weather?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. While extreme cold can eventually kill bed bugs, indoor temperatures rarely stay low enough, long enough. In fact, bed bugs often go dormant, burrow deeper into bedding and furniture, and wait for warmth—only to become active again when conditions are right.
That’s why proactive treatment is essential—bed bugs won’t go away on their own.
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Don't Confuse Them with Other Small Jumping Bugs
Many homeowners mistake bed bugs for:
-
Tiny bugs that jump like fleas
-
Small black bugs that jump in the house
-
Little bugs in the bathroom or shower that hop
But bed bugs don’t fly or jump. If you’re seeing movement, you may be dealing with other pests like springtails, moisture bugs in the bathroom, or even flea-like mites. Bed bugs are flat, oval-shaped, and usually reddish-brown—though they may appear darker after feeding.
If you’re unsure what you’re dealing with, let us inspect your home.
What Attracts Bed Bugs to Your Home?
It’s Not Dirt. It’s You.
Unlike boxelder bugs, which are drawn to light or warmth (why do boxelder bugs like my house?), bed bugs are attracted to people—specifically, our body heat and carbon dioxide.
They hide in:
-
Mattresses and box springs
-
Cracks in baseboards or headboards
-
Behind wall art and light switches
They’re especially active at night and often bite in clusters along the arms, neck, or legs.
Why Heat Treatment Is Often the Best Solution
Targeted, Chemical-Free Bed Bug Elimination
When infestations are severe or spread across multiple rooms, heat is one of the most effective treatment options.

How does heat treatment for bed bugs work?
We raise the ambient temperature to a level lethal to bed bugs and their eggs—without damaging your belongings.
It’s chemical-free Reaches deep into cracks, furniture, and bedding Ideal for both homes and businesses
