We use a proven combination of manual removal, heat treatments, and targeted pesticide applications to eliminate bed bugs for good.

The average cost of bed bug treatment in Wisconsin ranges from $300 to $2,500 for residential homeowners, and from $1,000 to $5,000 for commercial properties. Actual pricing can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of the infestation, the size of the affected area, and the type of treatment used—whether chemical, heat, or other methods.
We are locally owned and operated. Unlike big-box or franchise pest control companies, our prices are typically lower, and our service and results are unmatched. At Strib Pest Management, we focus on finding the root of your bed bug issue and eliminating it completely—not just providing a quick fix like many competitors. While some pest problems do require ongoing maintenance, we offer flexible, cost-effective solutions without locking you into unnecessary contracts.
Bed bugs will bite exposed skin (legs, arms, back of the neck), leaving you with itchy, burning red welts.
As bed bugs grow, they shed their skin and leave casings underneath pillows, beds, mattresses and in mattress seams.
Black and brown stains on your sheets come from bed bug droppings and squashed bed bugs when they’re feeding.
Bed bugs are reddish-brown insects, about ¼ inch long, and mostly active at night. They hide during the day in places like bedding, mattress seams, furniture upholstery, clutter, and even small gaps in wallpaper. These pests reproduce quickly, give off a musty odor, and without prompt treatment, infestations can escalate fast.

Forget store-bought foggers and mattress covers—they might catch a few bed bugs, but they won’t reach the ones in hiding. At Strib, we start with a detailed inspection to assess the full scope of your infestation, then implement a customized treatment plan that gets real results. Our proven methods and follow-up care ensure your bed bug problem is handled for good, no gimmicks, just solutions.
Heat treatments are a proven method for killing bed bugs. The special heaters used to exterminate bed bugs is intense, with a temperature reaching 120 to 135°F for several hours to kill the bed bugs and their eggs hidden in nooks and crannies. When we’re done, your bed bug problem is over.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to replicate a heat treatment by turning up your thermostat and running space heaters, or worse, kerosene heaters. Not only is it unlikely you will ever reach anything close to the temperature necessary to kill bed bugs, but you may end up accidentally causing a fire.
Bed bugs are tenacious insects, and they’ve become increasingly resistant to the most commonly used insecticides. A bed bug pro doesn’t let bed bugs adapt, a pro exterminates.
Other exterminators like to rely on excessive use of poisons and chemicals to get rid of your problem which have an effect on your home and its inhabitants. At Strib Pest Management, we first use low-impact methods such as mechanical devices, nontoxic traps, and pet-friendly pest control products before ever bringing harmful chemicals into the process.
If you’re concerned about the environment it doesn’t cut it to hire a pest control company to come into your home and spray harsh chemicals and set poison-filled traps all over. At Strib Pest Management, our exclusive 4-step approach uses chemicals judiciously and effectively without creating a hazard for pets or children.
Pest control is important for any home, and you can trust that Ehler’s Pest Management will provide it, all while safeguarding the health of humans, pets and the environment.

As a landlord, a bed bug infestation in your hotel or apartment can seriously damage your reputation—and your bottom line. Just one negative review can lead to lost bookings or tenants and long-term consequences for your business.
Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs aren’t limited to any one type of neighborhood. These pests can easily hitch a ride on luggage, clothing, or furniture, showing up anywhere—including well-kept, high-end properties. No matter how they got in, Strib Pest Management will eliminate the problem swiftly and discreetly.
Wisconsin Statute 740.07 requires landlords to provide a habitable place for tenants. When it comes to bedbugs, the law is a bit tricky. If it wasn’t the tenant’s fault that the unit became infested with bed bugs, it’s the landlord’s responsibility to cover the costs of an exterminator. If the infestation can be shown to have been caused by the tenant, then the tenant can be held liable for the cost of an exterminator.
Determining who’s responsible for bed bug extermination can be tricky. The priority should be eliminating the infestation fast—legal and financial details can be handled after. Delaying only makes things worse.
