Bed Bug Pest Control Sioux Falls, SD

Bon Voyage Bed Bugs was originally started to serve as a basic source of information on bed bugs and how to get rid of them. But over time, we realized if we were going to highlight the importance of using professional bed bug extermination services, then we needed to help people find the best companies in their area. When we started investigating companies across the country, one of our main goals was to make sure that we didn’t just help people in big cities, but to also assist those in smaller towns as well.

However, we certainly never expected that one of the first cities we would target would be one in South Dakota. But as it turns out, South Dakota is facing a massive bed bug problem that is much worse than that faced by residents of many other, larger states. According to our research, South Dakota ranks in the top 10 for the states with the most bed bug reports per capita–and perhaps even in the top 5.

While bed bugs are popping up throughout the state, Sioux Falls is definitely ground zero for the state’s bed bug problems. Despite having a population of only 150,000 people, Sioux Falls has a larger bed bug population than some cities 10 times its size. If your home or business in Sioux Falls is currently under attack by bed bugs, you certainly aren’t alone.

If you would like to find more information on the current bed bug problem in Sioux Falls, read on to see some of the recent news articles covering Sioux Fall’s struggles with bed bugs. If you’re dealing with your own infestation, and you’re ready to evict your unwanted house guests, scroll to the bottom for contact information and ratings for some of the best bed bug exterminators in the Sioux Falls area.

Sioux Falls Bed Bugs in the News

“Bed Bugs Found in Sioux Falls Hotels” – KELOLAND TV, 8 May 2012. It’s taken years for bed bugs to work their way in from the East and West Coast, but they’ve finally arrived in Sioux Falls. After many quiet years, hotel operators started having run-ins with bed bugs in the last couple years. According to inspection records provided by Sioux Falls, four hotels in the city have had bed bug violations between 2010 and 2012. One hotel owner interviewed in the news report stated that they started having problems with bed bugs three years ago, and have had new infestations pop up every summer since then. Concerns amongst residents of Sioux Falls have gotten so bad that the city’s Health Department decided to host a panel at City Hall, where the public could learn how to identify and fight bed bugs.

“Bed Bugs Snuggle Into KELOLAND” – KELOLAND TV, 22 September 2010. KELOLAND TV is reporting on the rising tide of bed bugs creeping their way into Sioux Falls and elsewhere in South Dakota. According to one local pest control business, they have been receiving 2 to 3 calls per day for bed bugs, which works out to between 700 and 1000 calls per year. Considering that Sioux Falls only has a population of 150,000 people, it’s clear that Sioux Falls is facing a bed bug epidemic.

“Bed Bugs Make Comeback in SD” – Public News Service, September 2010. Bed bugs have been appearing all over the state of South Dakota. According to experts, the resurgence is due to an increase in the amount of travel, lack of awareness about bed bugs, and embarrassment that leads people to not admit to having an infestation. An administrator for the South Dakota Department of Health advised local travelers to not set luggage on beds or floors in hotel rooms, bu rather hang them in a closet or set them up on a high shelf, in order to minimize the risk of bringing bed bugs home.

“Biting bedbugs noted in S.D.” – Sioux City Journal, 26 May 2009. According to South Dakota health officials and pest control experts, the state is seeing a major increase in reports of bed bugs and bed bug bites. One exterminator in Sioux Falls said that he’s seen a “huge increase” in the number of bed bug calls he has received recently. A representative of the South Dakota Health Department stated that the state has seen a major rise in bed bug infestations, particularly in the last five years.
